Hi Gerard,
I use a Tamrac velocity 9x- it takes my D7000,300 +1.4 and flashgun + one more lens,an excellent over the shoulder solution.
Cheers,
Mark

While the 300 f/4 would probably be okay hanging off the front of the camera, I feel better using a Black Rapid strap with a quick release. In my case I mounted a RRS Quick Release on my Black Rapid strap and it handles all of my long lenses or an extra camera body. I've even used it with a spotting scope.

I've ordered two of the blackrapid connectors. One for the manfrotto plate to connect to the tripod foot and another for the camera. I will connect a padded strap I had been using on the siggy 150-500 to these connectors and I think I have my solution. All I need now is to shake off this man flu so I can get out with the lens.
Regards Gerard.
Regards Gerard.
Me also. Good carrying strap and release.

I got the Kirk replacement tripod collar for the 300 f/4 AF-S, and it's much better than the one that came with the lens. I attach a Blackrapid strap to the tripod mounting hole on the collar, and sling it over my opposite shoulder - it's almost weightless, and can be brought up immediately to take a hand-held shot.

This is how I use the Sigma 500. The Black Rapid is the redundancy (in case the QR plate works loose) as the Sigma is always on a gimbal & monopod except for BIF (and even then sometimes) !
I've had the QR plate loosen and slip off the gimbal once and also the BR screw loosen itself once, in both cases having redundancy saved the day.
