Santa just brought me a Marlin 1895 Modern Hunter, and now I need an all weather hunting sling to go with it. Any suggestions you guys might have will be greatly appreciated.
The rifle is grey cerakote with black furniture. More or less like this:

I'm also looking for quick detach locking sling swivels that won't make a lot of noise and annoy my hunting partners.
Thanks!
Most non padded slings are all weather imho
Silence your swivels by wrapping a short loop of Velcro ribbon fuzzy side out
Ps you can also soak your sling in a DWR treatment
Thank you, joeg, for your suggestions.
I ended up going with the STI 2 point nylon sling and the Grovtech Milforce single piece swivels.
I like the look of the leather slings, but they really aren't all-weather in my mind and experience. I've been caught in a few rainstorms and the leather (treated) came out of it somewhat worse for wear. Leather looks great with wood and blue steel though.
If you end up not liking it, look for slings made of Biothane such as these:

It may be a little snug on both ends but aMILSPEC M16 "Silent Sling" (rough weave nylon) I know is good for 40 years as I have them that old.
A little off topic, how do you like the rifle? Considering getting one.
