Well I picked up my Ory and Duquenne 16ga yesterday. What a beautiful gun. This will be my 1st SXS with sling swivels. Now to find a quality leather sling.

May I have some suggestions of what to look for in a shotgun sling and where to find it?

Thanks,
Bill

I started with a leather rifle sling for my Ory and Duquenne 16ga. It required a bit of modification, but it was great in the field, especially in steep chukar terrain.

I use this sling on my Darne. Looks good, functional and is of excellent quality.

ithaca1,
Your sling swivels will be smaller than American slings. The best sling for your use is one of the "quick shortening" slings offered by the German Gun Collectors Association. These slings can be quickly shortened to prevent it catching on brush, etc. I have used this type sling for years with complete satisfaction on rifles as well as shotguns.

The Jeffs Outfitter sling does comes in two swivel sizes or widths....American and Euro. The 3/4" Euro fits my factory Darne swivels perfectly.
The NECG quick adjust sling is nice too, pretty convenient design for sure.

I think the name is Kebco or similar. They sometimes post here and offer reasonably priced European slings.

I've tried several slings on my Belgiums and Huskys and this one is my favorite.
