Having discussed rifles and scopes does not mean that these are the only items that you will find useful in rimfire shooting. Except possibly for shooting from a bench, a sling should be considered as a necessary piece of equipment. Most rimfire rifles are sold with either swivels or studs for attaching them. Notable exceptions are the lever-action rifles and a few autoloaders including the Ruger 10/22 Rifle. However, it is possible to install swivels on these rifles. Front swivels that clamp around tubular magazines simplify that part of the problem for lever-actions and some autoloaders. A sling not only makes carrying the rifle easier, but also it is an aid to steady aiming under field conditions. The classic military sling is a two-part affair, but an adjustable nylon strap will suffice for most uses. A rifle with a composite stock will not look out of place with a nylon strap. On a fine sporting rifle with a checkered walnut stock, an elegant leather sling would be more appropriate.
