Trying to raise the gun to the normal shoulder firing position without taking the sling off over my head just didn't quite work. It was close, a little more length and it would have worked, but then it might have carried too low.
With the sling hanging loose, the rear swivel was not in the way of my cheek as I sighted down the barrel (close though).
With the front sling swivel pushed forward it was not uncomfortable to hold the front grip, though it was obviously in the way of the index finger to some degree. Some pictures have the sling on the right side of the stock but that would leave the sling hanging over the top of the barrel (which I guess would not be a problem if firing it from the hip, but would of course be distracting if trying to look down the sights. I had a customers original front grip in hand once that had it on the left side, so I went with the left too.
I didn't actually shoot the gun and probably won't before I send out the wood, but I think I'll make myself a set in the future.
Anybody have their gun set up this way? Be interesting to hear if you like shooting it in that configuration.
