A slung gun probably works for many people and the type of hunting they do but it would not work for me walking up snipe. I have one gun that came fitted with swivels. The front one was attached to the bottom rib with two screws so removing it and unscrewing the rear stud from the stock was easy. Now I have a gun without any stud in the stock to catch on my shirt or anything else when I'm attempting to get off a quick shot at a bird that just launched like a rocket.
