Padded VCAS from Blue Force Gear. Why? Simple operation, easily adjustable - a material tab comes off the sling, you pull forward or back depending on how you want it adjusted, padding is nice if you are letting your rifle hang a good bit, quality construction/material, great customer service from Blue Force.....and most importantly it just flat out works well for me. I second this Yup |

Magpul MS1 sling because of how easy it is to use and how comfortable it is.

Vtac upgraded padded gets my vote. I have used all kinds of different slings in Iraq, personal use and currently for OGA work. Vtac is simple, fast to adjust and tape up the excess straps when done adjusting and its very streamlined. I want to like the magpul ms4 but still just testing it out as it is similar to the vtac but has the option to make it single point for shorter rifles. So far though Vtac gets my main support as its simple, rugged and fast. Another note as to the wide pad version is if not wearing body armor and carrying rifle for any length of time the wide pad helps out the traps and neck.

Ever see anyone in OGA work use the Blue Force Vickers sling? I always see VTAC in pictures and I assume it's cause the Vickers doesn't get tight enough for rappel/airborne/etc work. Seems to be a better sling for LE/civvy range work |

My favorite 2 point AR sling that is quick adjustable and does not loosen for shooting sling support is my LaRue Tactical 2 point Padded sling. This particular LaRue sling are an exclusive design VTAC made for them by Viking Tactics, except the LaRue version have included heavy duty push button swivels (front are sewn-in) and have front side quick release buckles. These slings are also great for carrying while hiking, running, and climbing, it always stays very snug. http://www.laruetactical.com/larue-tactical-padded-sling This. I have three of them and will never buy anything else. |

I use the larue vtac padded.
It is comfy and adjusts very easily. My other experience was with a Magpul MS3 Multi Mission Sling. It was meh compared to the Larue. |

Does anybody use the Magpul MS4?
http://www.midwayusa.com/product/2319121313/magpul-ms4-gen-2-multi-mission-single-point-2-point-sling-with-dual-qd-swivels-nylon I like the idea of being able to switch between 2pt and 1pt. Are there any other good slings that let you swap between 1pt and 2pt? |

BFG for me.
 Strong, comfortable, functional, made with high quality materials that will last.
I have their non padded on my AR15's, but recently got a padded version with QD swivels sewn in for my heavier AR10. Very happy with all of them! Certain versions may not be listed on their site. For example they still have slings with the QD swivels sewn in, you just have ask. |

Savvy Sniper has not been mentioned. This is what I'm using right now - like it a lot. http://savvysniper.com/quadsling.html +1 on Savvy Sniper. I've got a box full of slings, magpul, BFG. I pretty much just use the SS now. |

Padded Vickers from BFG, I'm not jumping out of planes with it or fast roping while getting shot at. But I do use it at work and have slung it for hours without any problems.

I use a Viking Tactics Original Sling I picked up from skdtac.com I find the sling to not be too restrictive when shooting from the weakside/off-hand. The sling also adjusts without having the left over material getting in the way.

I use a Riflecraft RS-3.
http://rifle-craft.com/product/rs-3-quick-adjust-sling/ http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2015/05/28/riflecraft-introduces-rs-3-sling-a-cross-body-sling-for-marksmen/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dqgccw1pLtM One feature Todd fails to mention is that it does have an emergency release buckle above the pulls Come August I'll be really putting the sling to use at Thunder Ranch's Urban Precision Rifle course. I'll try to remember to put a real review of it. So far in light range use it's fantastic and works as advertised. The way Todd designed the adjustment is so simple -yet so ingenious- that I'm sure it's a matter of time before some of the other sling manufactures start copying it.

Anyone want to sound off on a sling that can be cinched tight, front or back? I was leaning Vickers padded but now I'm thinking VTAC padded upgraded sling after reading it's better for this.
ETA: somebody mentioned the Larue Tactical Padded Sling, is that just a VTAC with 2 QDs thrown in, or is there some other difference? |

I'm a fan of the magpul ms4.
May not be the best, but they work. I got the QD version. I also have a MS2. The MS4 fixed some of the issues I don't much care for about the MS2, and the hardware is of better quality. Have had the MS2 for years now, and it still looks new outside of the dust that its collected over the years. I like them enough to use them on all my rifles. While they may not be "the best available" for me they are comfortable enough and I don't see much reason to change. |

O.D. GI issue. It does what it is supposed to do. I use one of the old canvas 2" wide GP slings with the clips replaced by HK snap hooks. Works great, and cost me less than $10 (the sling itself is a leftover from my army days). |
