I'm attracted to these large sling eyes for their simplicity and their old fashioned look. I've seen them on a lot of vintage guns:

I'm considering the large eyes versus the standard swivel bases designed to accept quick detach sling swivels [img][img]https://i.ibb.co/4FVSSKG/Quick-detach-style-bases.jpg[/img][/img]

I'd love to hear if anyone has experience with the large eyes and any preferences between the two. These will go on a custom bolt action rifle. On all my prior rifles I've used the quick detach swivels and bases, but I'm thinking of trying something a little different.

Hallowell (http://www.hallowellco.com/sling_eye.htm) and Trader Keith (http://www.traderkeith.com/tradersecrets.html) both describe how the large eyes work. Any input is appreciated.
