Completely agree. I plan on using this as a intermediary gun. My friends and I do our own shooting drills for fun and they require shooting on various positions. I decided to sacrifice the long distance for the comfort of standing and prone shooting 150-250 yards.Why go with a single point sling for a long distance rifle? I understand the bipod and generally shooting in the prone position. But if you try kneeling or standing being able to use a regular rifle sling would help with accuracy.
