To carry while hunting. Going to be doing some coyote hunting. Was nott a concern at the range or on my tower stand.

That's why I asked. In your case, I would certainly look at cannibalizing a old gym bag or duffel bag that has a carry strap that is long enough, adjustable, and is easily connected to the front and rear swivels. Those things are pretty durable and strong, yet we tend to take them off the bag because most guys don't sling them over a shoulder and they tend to get tangled.
Or, buy a surplus M-1 Garand Sling for eight or ten dollars. Strong, easily clips on to one of the swivels, adjustable with one hand. Another decent option is an old M-60 MG sling providing you can get one for under ten dollars. I sure wouldn't spend more than ten dollars for a sling if all I wanted was something to let me carry the rifle over a shoulder.
