Is there a 2 point sling out there that does it all? I was looking at the Viking Tactics bungee 2 point sling.
Does anyone have any opinions or suggestions on certain slings?

Define "does it all."

2 point slings can do most of what a conventional 3 point used to do, without the extra loop.  Some like the Magpul MS3 can convert to single point if you need that style.  There are also some accessories to add that can allow a QD swivel to be locked into the sling again making it a single point.

I like the Troy 2point and Blue-force 2 point.

I want something that I can have that will tighten up well against my body, but still allowing me to be able to shoot quickly when needed, which is why I was considering a bungee. I have never really cared for a 1 point sling because sometimes I like to throw the AR on my shoulder like a traditional shotgun while I am hunting. Also, I want the sling to help steady my shots with standing and/or kneeling. I am just looking for an all around great sling that can meet all these wants and needs.

That is NOT a true tight shooting sling.  At best it would be called a two point that can become a "hasty" shooting sling, which is much less stable.  It lacks an upper arm loop, and is elastic.  So, it cannot do it all.  It is a very good and versatile two point sling in all other respects.

My "every day" AR sling is a Magpul MS3 converted to QD swivels, but it, too, can only operate as a hasty shooting sling.

The best sling to do it all that I have found so far, including one hand operation, two point utility, length and comfort, with true tight sling upper arm loop, is the leather Brownells Latigo.  

You set the loop length one time based on your own arm length and front swivel location on the rifle, and thereafter it adjusts two point length out and in with a simple one hand pull.  It is an elegant clawless adaption of the military 1907 competition sling.  And the leather is gorgeous.  If a true tight shooting sling is needed, it excels. It is available in several widths and in brown or black.

I don't have an uploaded photo on the one on my carbine, but here is one for one of my bolt guns pulled up light for transport or storage, and another for shooting slugs on a tactical shotgun.  The final photo shows more detail of the initial adjustment  holes that thee Chicago fasteners use for the custom arm loop. You can see the upper arm loop well on the shotgun photo.  Your upper arm goes through the back of the front loop and you slide the leather front keeper all the way down, tight against your arm.

The Savy Sniper sling is nice, but $130 is a bit much for a sling in my eyes. the V-Tac bungee 2 point seems do be capable at doing all of this at a much cheaper price. I am looking for a nylon sling, not a leather. I personally would put a leather sling on a wooden gun.

I think you misread what the OP is looking for. No where does he state he is looking for a "true tight shooting sling".
The Viking Tactics bungee 2 point sling he liked is very close in function to the Savvy Sniper just not a 2 to 1 convertible or QD.
Both are "tactical" style designs.

I did watch the video. It is for sure a nice sling, but is it really worth $130 with all the bells and whistles or is the $40 V-Tac a better deal on the price? The V-Tac bungee allows for quick tightening and loosening when needed. I do not plan on going to 1 point, because i do not like how it will/can smack me on the meat paddle. haha Last thing I want is to constantly be cup checked by my rifle.

The video was just to show you the advantages of a well designed sling. I didn't figure you would want to spend that much.
You can get one for half that price if you don't get metal hardware or QD's.

You may not want a single point sling but having the option to instantly go to it is an advantage.
In certain situations where you are not moving a lot, say home defense it works well.
It makes transitions to your weak side easier than a 2 point. Say you are a right handed shooter and want to shoot around a corner on your right side.
To do that requires you expose your left side to the intruder as you aim. If you transition to your left shoulder you expose a much smaller part of your body as you aim.
Single point wouldn't hit the family jewels since you would have the rifle in your hands and it would be easy to swing it to the side to draw a hand gun.

It doesn't cost much to add the convertible feature to a sling, most manufacturers offer that option. Something to think about.

Would the plastic hardware for the Savy Sniper be just a good as the metal? I figured metal would be more of a sales gimmick. I mean, Magpul uses plastic and they seem to work very well.

Proctor sling is what you want, and IMHO is the best do all 2 point sling out there.

 



Use paracord as the attachment which imo and experience has held up very well, and this also means it can mount to damn near any rifle.

It can tighten up very snug to your body and the length is adjustable.

It can be carried shotgun style, and the slider adjust easier then any sling I have used or touched including Magpul and Vickers.

IT can be used to wrap around your arm to steady a shot off hand.




O and its $30 bucks so get it while its still cheap.

Yes the plastic works just fine and makes the sling lighter, I have it on my Savvy Sniper.
Brian the owner of Savvy prefers the plastic himself. They have the metal hardware available for extreme users like the Seals etc and rich folks who want the best.

Savvy had a contract to supply the Marines with a cheaper stripped down version they call the M4 lite, you may like it. It is not 2 to 1 convertible.

i dont have any experience with convertible 2 to 1 point slings; however my favorite 2 point sling would be my blue force sling.  The only use I have for a 1 point sling would be if you do transition shooting to support side. I use a 1 point on my sbr and a 2 point on my m4 for working perimeter. 1 point slings suck for comfort when standing perimeter.

The Proctor sling seems to be a nice sling for a low price. I like how it is bare bones. My rail is only 7" since I use a M4 profile AR with an A2 front post sight. I like to keep my AR as bulk free as possible.

Here is my current set up for my pea shooter. Keep in mind, I am a 20 year old full-time college student... All my lunch money goes to guns.

Take a picture of your setup, and Ill tell you exactly what to do.
 



ETA: Just leave one slot open at the front of your rail and you'll be good. Dont put it around the covers as it might slip since it needs something to stop it.

I can move the XTM covers back about two spots, since I am not going to be using the QD sockets on the rail.

I'm a big fan of VTAC and BFG but this one might fill your requirement and is relatively inexpensive.

As far as I know yes and made in Texas.

You might at least want to take a look at Redi-mag 1.2 Convertible Sling.  I have one of these and it's fantastic.

Check out the video on the link.  It really does work that easily.
