Dressing a Remi 870 for upland game hunting
Anybody slung up their 870 in a manageable fashion? Its the only shotgun I have and I can't afford to buy a new one this season for Dusky Grouse. Would like to find a sling system that will take some of the burden off my arms for portions of the hike up hillsides and ridges.
Any thoughts? There are a plethora of options out there and I hoping to weed them down to a few of the field-tested best.

Thanks. The problem with the Remi is the butt stock doesn't have a manufacturer's attachment for a sling. Not sure of the best option for attachment.
I had an 870 once (miss it :cry1:) without a swivel attachment on the buttstock that I took on my XT 350 to grouse hunt and used a sling similar to the first link below. The other links might help as well.
BTW--the "reviews" of each are helpful to understand how they work.
