Wingshooter, I doubt I have any more experience than you. Just a matter of personal experience and taste I guess.

By the way, I replaced the rotted leather sling on an Ideal of mine with a nylon one straight out of a Hi-Standard .22 auto-loader which uses the same system. Only modification was to replace the metal end of the sling with the Napoleon's hat shaped end from the rotted Manufrance leather sling. I don't recall the model number of the Hi-Standard, but they often show up on the auction sites. It is a drop-in fit...Geo
