RTI How to Sling a Prophet or Priest?

How to Sling a Prophet or Priest
(or any other bullpup)?

I should have asked this question years ago.
Well, better late than never.



So, how do you attach a carrying sling to a bullpup?

➠ I'd like to carry it on long walks:
(1) ready to be shot, pointing forward, over my right shoulder
and
(2) on hikes and climbs over my back, pointing upward, with the sling across my chest.


⭓ Note that RTIs (like many other bullpups) come from the factory without any sling studs or other attachment options.

⭓ Note that RTIs (like many other bullpups) have no side picatinny rails — and no wood stock that could be drilled into.

⭓ Note that I am perfectly fine with drilling holes into my guns, and attaching small/light mounting gear.

⭓ Note that I do not want to attach an extended bipod rail or bottle protector (Mora style or other).

⭓ Note that of course I have a big heavy scope mounted, not just some puny red dot like the firearm forums display most bullpups when discussing slings.



➧ Photos, yes PHOTOS would be very helpful.
➧ Links to mounting hardware are welcome as well.


Thank you!

I drilled and attached Uncle Mike sling studs in my Taipan Veteran. I bought a pair of Quick Detach Pic rails attachments (3 slots) for my BRIK Ghost. They aren't perfect because the forend attachment is further towards the middle of the rifle than it would be on a powder burner. This causes the barrel to tip back a lot when an over the shoulder carry is used which is how I hunt.

I have a magpul picatinny qd mounted on the scope rail under the rear of the scope. I made an adjustable single point sling. Seemed the best route to keep the gun on my strong side and primos trigger stick in the left.

Thanks for your input.

I would have thought there'd be more responses by now...
Maybe most airgunners don't sling their guns....?
(Going from the bullpup photos on the forums — probably true....)

I use a single point picatinny mount, on the scope rail, for a single point sling and carry mine in front of my body or hanging muzzle down at my side. Sorry, no pics.

Here's mine. It can be converted to a single point like @igolfat8 does. This works for me when I'm hiking further before shooting. I also have an attachment for my back pack. No one at home to take a picture with me "slinging" it!

^ That’s the same picatinny sling mount that I use. They are inexpensive from fleabay or Amazon.
