I have a Remington 597 with synthetic stock. I would love to make a sling for it with paracord but kinda dont feel like drilling holes for the sling mounts. Can I make one that goes around the stock instead of attaching it with the mounts? If so, what can I do to keep it from sliding around? Or should I just suck it up and drill the mount holes ?
Something to investigate before you go too far with the drilling of the stock idea make sure you take the buttplate off and verify that your stock is not hollow. If it is you really need to epoxy in a block of wood for the screws to attach to. You should probably verify that the barrel channel is not hollow as well.
