Up or Down...?

As you can see from my pic, I have my sling on 'backwards'...

I'm right handed, and used to carry the rifle over my right
shoulder, butt down...
However, after my bipod wore a hole in the right shoulder of my
jacket, I started thinking about alternatives...
So now, I carry my rifle, on my left shoulder, butt up and in
doing this, avoid the dreaded bipod rub, plus as a boost it
comes straight off my left shoulder, round the front and into my
right shoulder ready to fire in a single easy swooping move...
Here's a some what 'Redneck' video on YouTube demonstrating this
method...
Works for me... What about you...?

I had the same issue. I carry the rifle now with the butt up and
the barrel pointing down, it makes it real handy for carrying,
as you can hold the bipod in your hand while walking, no more
rifle slipping off the shoulder.

Its definitely the more comfortable way to carry but just be
very careful of dirt, muck or snow getting into the muzzle of
your rifle. Im sure you are aware of this but its difficult to
tell of an obstruction in a rifle without removing the bolt.

I've always carried mine like that-if nothing else looks safer
even tho shouldn't be loaded!!
