So I'm pretty new to the gun world! I purchased my very first gun from Mark Waggenspack (super nice guy) from the last gun show... A Ruger 10/22! And yesterday I got to shoot it for the first time! The gentlemen that I shot with had every shot gun/rifle imaginable and by the days end had given me a sling for my rifle! Needless to say I could barely contain my excitement! The only problem was that upon inspection, my Ruger did not have any existing hardware to attach the strap to! So I've been doing some research, and consistent with most gun related subjects, there are multiple opinions of what is best! Here is what I know: that I will have to drill into my gun stock and this makes me nervous! This gun will always be sentimental based on many factors, a few being: the first gun I actually filled out paperwork and bought, I think it's beautiful, it's the first gun I've shot without direct supervision from an instructor, and it was so much fun to shoot! Basically, I love this gun and the idea of putting a drill on it makes me nervous! So, do I go with the 1&1/4" or a 1" kit? Do I go with Blackhawk or Uncle Mike, or someone else? Upon inspection of the sling, it has Uncle Mike's engraved on it. I am going to attemp to attach pictures of my gun & sling. I've read that I can get away with drilling only one hole, and attaching the other part to the band at the front. What sized drill bit should I start with to ensure that I don't mess up my stock? If anyone has experience in installing sling mounts onto a Ruger 10/22 let me know what your thoughts are so that I can get it get it right! Thanks so much and I will look forward to any advice you have!
