These aren't artsy but they are the best I have used for practical hunting. Comfortable and your hands stay free for binos and shooting sticks. I still have my original from 25 years ago:
The safari sling.

Default Custom Riffle Slings
As some of you know a do a little leather work and one of the things I do a lot of is riffle slings. Well the other day I got to thinking about doing some memorial slings. What I mean by that is a lot of us have guns that were passed down to us from our dads and granddads when they passed on. These are always my favorite guns to see when anyone is showing off their collection. So my thought was doing slings for these guns that would have some sort of memorial message in script memorializing and honoring the man who carried that gun. If any of you guys would like to do a sling like this shoot me PM.
The script in the photo below is what I was thinking of using.

I'm not sure where you're located. Find a reputable saddle maker in your area. They will make them to your specs. I had one made here in San Angelo by Jey's Saddle Shop last year.

This man made me an excellent custom sling for my 338 LM . He was also very helpful and great to work with .

Good luck with search. I prefer the nylon slings similar to the military types.
