Scout rifle carry and ready positions - Ching or Rhodesian sling carries the gun

If you don't want the context and just want to jump to the carry/ready method, skp to 5:50. You can carry African style or American. You can use low or high ready. But are you really ready? In this video, I review how to carry in the field in a way that keeps you ready for anything. use a Ching Sling, Rhodesian or CW sling and this method works.
Edit: Somebody suggested calling this the "Cliffhanger" carry. I think that works pretty well.

There are two reasons why I watched this video to the end, brought to you by The Algorithm: 1) I never knew there are so many ways to carry a rifle and get it to ready position. 2) You treat the firing cycle as fire then immediately run the bolt without getting it off the shoulder. In other words, running a bolt gun the way God intended. Too many people out there fumble with the bolt and/or the rifle. Granted, some guns need to be broken in or polished up before it's smooth enough to run it at speed (especially if you're gonna run the Walbridge technique, a.k.a the "middle finger" technique.)

[@cliffy109]

Thanks! I've had a bit of training and running the bolt hard, fast and immediately is fundamental. Glad the algorithm brought you to it.

Wow so awesome, love the Steyr Scout all my life and glad to see someone else does too.

Thanks Steve, Be Well.

I African carried most of my life before I knew what it was called. It's fast, your barrel clears the brush, and the muzzle is away from your head. I use thin leather slings.

Hi Steve, thanks for the great videos on scout sling setups and use! Was wondering if you could actually demonstrate the use of the scout slings while shooting prone (would like to gauge how practical & ergonomic it is). I'm wondering if it makes sense to just use a front sling attachment-mounted bipod for shooting prone, even on a rifle with a scout sling setup. Also do you suppose the bipod would interfere with the normal use of a scout sling as you've demonstrated here?

[@cliffy109]

That's a great question. The sling works really well from prone and you can use a bipod. It is a little slower if you're using a rest of any kind but not as slow as a full loop sling. The only trick is to make sure the loop doesn't slide down your arm as you assume that position. I'll work on a video demonstrating this but in the meantime, here is a link to another one of my videos. I go from standing to prone pretty quickly but in this competition, I was not able to be slung up before taking the standing shot so it doesn't follow exactly with this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKKqmqaBgsiGd9k

I have a ruger gsr and I'll try your method.

[@ScoutRiflelab]

Love the idea! But for me it’s not an option. It puts the shooter slung, tired to the gun, and getting out of the rifle takes the time I’ve saved not having to get in the sling. It’s a gunfighter thing…. Seeing you drop into sitting as fast as you do is impressive! Just add in looping into the sling as you drop down. Cheers

[@cliffy109]

Give it a try. Because this isn’t a cinched loop like the old military sling, getting out is just a matter of straightening your arm.

[@scoutdynamics3272]

Looped up ready?

[@michaelbrady3587]

"Cliffy Carry!"

[@JustSomeDude503]

"Baguette carry". 😆 I love it.

[@chrischambless]

What rifle is that?

[@cliffy109]

Modified Steyr Scout. Painted, bipod removed and barrel shortened for a suppressor

[@chrischambless]

I see it now! Wow that’s cool. You stuck those sections of rail on there. Looks like the Steyr and the Mossberg scouts got busy.

[@hvuu1628]

probably because it's not a natural holding and hike position.

[@ShaneisRight]

Someone probably asked this already. Can you please identify the rifle for us? And how about "CAL-carry," meaning Chambered and Looped?

[@cliffy109]

That rifle is a heavily modified Steyr Scout. Full description here: cliffy109.blogspot.com/2019/09/the-clifford-gp-rifle.html

[@cliffy109]

And I’m not familiar with the term CAL-carry but I everything in this video assumes a loaded chamber with a rifle capable of safely carrying this way

[@ShaneisRight]

@@cliffy109 Roger that. It was just my two cents worth since you were looking for a name to give to your unique way of carrying the rifle. Thanks for the ID of your rifle and the link. I appreciate it.

[@cliffy109]

@@ShaneisRight Doh!!! I get it. That's actually pretty good. Thanks.

[@JustSomeDude503]

How about calling it "Scout Ready" carry? (Unless that term is already a thing. 🤷‍♂️)
