[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What's the latest go-to sling yall are using these days? (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 11/27/2015 1:55:31 PM EDT

In the mood to buy a sling for my rifle, I have AR's, shotguns, bolt guns, lever actions and semi auto 10/22's

No particular need for any one gun, just curious what folks are using out there for some inspiration.

I currently have Vtacs on my AR's, but that's about it.

What's the best single point? Can never seem to get a strait answer.

I still like the USGI surplus canvas sling. Cheap and effective.

I'm using VTAC padded, VCAS, and Ares Armor padded 2-point, all of them are quick adjust 2-point slings.

Haha, they work well on short & light rifles like SBRs.

As for 2 points, Vtac is good, but I prefer Vickers BFG adjustable 2-points. Padded if they're on something heavier than a 14.5/16 or .308.

Simple and no need for any extra hardware to connect it. Have them on mine and the wife's ARs.

VTAC padded is what I have on my go to rifles. I also have two Magpul slings...hate the gen 1, but gen 2 is a big improvement.

I have a Vtac on one AR and the old leather USGI on my Match AR and my M1.

I won an Irene sling that I'm still trying to figure out.

I have a couple T.I.S. QuickCuffs and like them. Not great for carrying due to lack of padding but great for support.

Are you going to be operating operationally in an operative environment?

YES - Vtac or Vickers.

NO - lenght of para cord.

Any good Black Friday sales on Vickers?

Vtac slings are pretty slick and all but that damn metal adjuster thingy is loud, painful

and has the chance of taking out a lense. I use a blue force gear padded now and am much happier.

Last I checked BFG has their AK sling on sale for $34. It's meant for an AK obviously but could easily be repurposed for an AR.

I have a couple of their two point "speedy" slings on budget builds. They really aren't bad for 20 bucks.

BFG does run sales.

Their two to one point sling is real nice.

VTAC sucks. Sorry.

Vickers VCAS is the shit. Padded.

im happy w/ my ms3. probably gng to buy an ms4 for another rifle soon

Ive got both a VTAC and a Magpul and I pretty much exclusively use my Magpul. I guess I don't understand how to use the VTAC??? I'll have to watch some videos to figure out how to properly adjust it or something, its just never felt comfortable. A sling should not be complicated.... but I guess I could just be dumb

USGI carry strap.

Pulled the clips off, threaded the loop with 550 and replaced them with HK91 sling attachement clips.

One of these:

Also ordered one of these from SG to see if it's the real deal.

Urban E.R.T. Slings

LaRue Tactical

I have a single point Urban ERT and a 2 point LaRue, and they're both great.

Another vote for VTAC.

Marine Corps is going to Vickers 2-point but it's just a cheaper version of the VTAC IMO.

2-point is the way to go. Unless you're doing nothing but close in work (and when can you say that with absolute certainty?) the stability you get from something attached forward of your receiver is infinitely better than something attached exclusively on or behind it. Even in close you can shoot nice small groups very quickly with relatively limited practice time if you're employing a two point properly for stability. Last shoothouse I got to play in we were a hair away from kicking out the single-point sling gear queer (NCO no less) for the day because his shooting sucked, while even new guys with two-points shot nice tight hammer pairs.

I think the VIcker's predates the VTAC.
