Looking for sling recommendations

[level0]

Want a sling for my shotgun (20 gauge Weatherby auto-loader). 2-point slings are more comfortable for me, and that plus ease of use are my two motivators here. I will mostly use this sling to carry the gun on the range or shooting with my family.

Any particular make/model recommendations, or for my purposes is a sling a sling and I should go cheap?

For an inexpensive do everything sling, I like the standard military web sling as found on the M1 Garand. The web sling can be used as a carry sling or a shooting sling. The only downside to this sling is the requirement for 1 1/4 sling swivels.

I completely agree with jinks. There are a lot of fancy "tactical" slings out there, but you really can't beat a hundred years of experience.

This is what you're looking for: Service Rifle Slings - LEATHER COMPETITION MILITARY SLING

Then, you'll want to know how to attach it: http://www.rollanet.org/~stacyw/us_1907_sling1.htm

That would be what jinks was referring to. It's a personal experience/preference thing; I like the heavier leather.

+1. Call me crazy, but after buying some for Appleseed, I really like the simplicity of the GI slings.

+2. Cotton web GI for me. I'm sure leather is just as great.

I've been using the Hunter Quick Fire sling for nearly thirty years straight now, and it's a real champ.
You can instantly adjust the length without having to deal with buckles or hooks, only requiring a pull on the strap either above or below the Chicago screws above the trigger guard.

Thanks everyone for the input, looks like I'm going with a basic GI model. I just need to ensure I get the right swivels and I'll be set.

I bought one of these for my muzzleloader. I really like it, it stays on the shoulder and does not slide off.
