What Sling Size?

[Ranchman]

I'm thinking of buying a Turner Saddlery Carlos Hathcock Leather Sniper Sling from Midway USA, Product #: 175467.They have them in various lengths, even numbers from 50-58 inches. I'm 6'1", 230 lbs. I'd rather not buy the wrong length and have to send it back to get another. What should I consider when trying to figure the right length? Appreciate all feedback...

Hm I guess you could try having someone hold the weapon where you would like it to hang with the sling and use a soft measuring tape between your mounting points and yourself and see how many inches that is?

I've only ever dealt with adjustable slings.
