Taipan Vet/Mutant Sling Mounts

[ShootinBlind]

Struggling with you to mount a two point sling to my Veterans. I want the gun to hang in front scope side up, and so mounting studs and the like under the stock, front and rear, seems ill advised. Any suggestions or ideas. And if you have solutions, please send photos.

Egads that was almost incoherent. Imagine the Taipan and the Cricket could have similar solutions.

Thanks

And would like ideas for a Wildcat .22 that involves a two-point, not one point, and with the same idea of on the sling hanging in front, with scope naturally up.
I can see with ARs, there are often top of barrel picatinny mounted sling attachments, and high and back in the stock are others. But how do you do that on an airgun.

I have a sling on my Veteran short and it works great for hunting. Super easy to carry in the field. There aren’t many options for mounting a sling. Rear about 1.5-2” from the butt of the stock and front on the forearm grip.

Is that on the bottom of the stock? The top? The side?

I'm looking for a ready hold dangle with scope up.

Thanks, Rob

Yep, both sling mounts on the bottom of the stock. One near butt plate and one on the bottom of the palm rest. It carries nicely in the field.

Is there a way to determine ideal placement of the butt end sling mount? Measure and drill once, we hope..

Two inches? What/

I just went out and checked my Veteran. The rear sling mount is about 1.5 inches in from the butt plate. The front mount is not on the lower part of the palm rest. I drilled it into the wood just below the pressure gauge. This position for the front sling allows the gun to stay closer to my body when walking with the sling over my shoulder. I have hunted and walked for hours with this setup with minimal fatigue.
