I'd like the idea.  However, I'll probably have Derrill make one for me. :)

Not that I have personally bought anything from him but there has been some impressive pictures of his work on here.

Derrill does good work.I have cartridge holders,slings,and a leather rifle case he made for me.He ain't no slouch at working an S1 trigger into a great one either.

Well lets hear what everyone's price threshold level would be on this padded sling.


I am thinking 70.00 to 80.00 should produce a suitable for weatherby padded sling and maybe around the 120.00 mark for a Deluxe model. These price points should add up to a lot of sales.

That sounds like a good price to me for the slings I would pay 30-40 dollars for a good knife and about 20 for the hats I just wish they had more choices for the hats

Id think Weatherby could easily produce a comfortable and durable line of slings starting from around $30 and going up to what the market will bear. Id think a highly detailed sling bearing the Weatherby name and an outdoor scene in tooled padded leather or some other durable material would be able to sell in the $200 range easily. Unfortunately id have to stay in the $30-60 buck range haha!! Teenagers aint cheap!!

I posted the link to the slings earlier but I must also say + 1 to having Derrill, aka Purplefox, make you one if you are looking for a classic leather sling. I have one of his slings on my Lazerguard that he engraved a deer on, sharp looking set up. I also have one of his rifle cases and ammo holders. All first rate work.

Id happily pay $200 US (even with the low Aussie $) for a top quality sling. I don't use them but a small collection of different styles and pictures on them would look great just hanging in the gun room or bar area...

Thanks for the compliments on the things I make. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately once I finish the gun case I am trying to complete that will likely be the last Leather work I do. My bad health is making it hard to do it anymore.  Slings and ammo carriers i will probably always make.   
Good Hunting And Shooting To all

Purplefox, sorry to hear about your health problems. Is there a link so I could view the slings and ammo carriers you make?

Hey Mikhail and Hunter Dude... I believe I posted some pics a few months back of the the items I received from Darrill... I'll see if I can find the post and bump it for you guys. I know others have also posted stuff as well, but they would have to point you to those particular posts.

I'm also sorry to hear about your health issues Derrill, as your gun cases, slings and ammo carriers are all worthy of praise, and I'm sure they bring you a lot of personal satisfaction.( I've seen your fine work displayed by others )
