I bought a military style cotton sling and it turned out to be a J-hook style sling that I really know very little about. I won't be "slinging up" with rifle, at least not with a front single point and the rear cinched around my bicep, so I up unlooped it, pulled the J-hook off for now and just ran the sling through the sling slot on the butt stock. I actually like it this way but it isn't long enough to carry around the neck and shoulder and let the rifle hang across my chest. Works great hanging under the left shoulder though. I'm gonna leave it like it is for now, do some research on slings and try to find the simplest two point sling that adjusts quickly and easily and then change it. Maybe some day I'll find a use for a j-hook sling. Otherwise, I really like how it turned out. Had to run out to the range and make sure I didn't need to readjust my scope after popping the base off and putting it back on and it was dead on. I'm very happy with how well this turned out.

So small. It be what it be though:)

Looks good, simple is my choice.

They are hard to find, but I am partial to the old BAR slings. Exactly like a Garand sling, but several inches longer. No one has yet come up with a simpler and/or quicker method of adjusting a sling than the old GI clamp. The only drawback I have found to it is that the sling material has to be of a certain thickness for it to clamp securely, or you have to glue a leather pad inside the clamp so it clamps tightly.

Several of my long guns have an extra sling swivel installed on top of the stock just ahead of the buttplate so that the sling is on TOP of the gun. The gun then hangs right-side-up across your body leaving your hands free, but you can grab the grip and point it quickly. Looks weird but works slick.

This one is really nice and the better of the three. I also have a 1X Spitfire illuminated with etched reticle set up for picatiny rails. I like it a lot but I need a bit more magnification for anything beyond 50 yards. I have a less expensive 2.5-8X (I think?)...Diamondback. For the price it's pretty nice too. I'll eventually upgrade the latter on that rifle and put that one on a .22LR. They seem to be a really good scope line.

I have a few too. I had a cheapie high powered one on a Savage .22. It was decent but not super clear when you cranked it up. About like a BSA. It held zero and had repeatable adjustments though.

I had one of their 'AimPoint sized' red dots and it liked to turn itself off a few rounds into a magazine on an AR. Sent it back and they fixed it, but I didn't trust it on a go-to gun so I bought an AimPoint Pro.

I recently put one of their Diamondback HP 4-12's on my FN .308 and it's really nice. Very clear, easy to use. Getting easy hits at 300m with the rifle/scope/suppressor combo.

I also have a Strike Eagle on my .300 blk SBR. It's a great scope, but kind of overpowers the stubby little AR!
It's more balanced with the suppressor on it, but I think it'd be better suited to a rifle that may be used at slightly longer ranges than I normally shoot the .300 at. The reticle is a little busy for me at up close and personal ranges.
