So I want a quick adjustable 2 point, but I'm not looking to drop $50-$60 on one of the expensive Blue Force or MagPul slings. I found this while searching around and it seems like what I'm looking for. Even has free shipping. Worst case scenario it turns out to suck and I'm only down fifteen bucks.

Has anyone here had any experience with this?

Looks good to me. I might pick one up for my rifle.

I ordered one of these this weekend for a beater rifle that doesn't have its own sling. Looks like a MS4 copy. I have an MS4 so I'll see how this compares.

This was delivered today. I have a VTAC sling and a MS4 on my good rifles. For a beater rifle this looks like a winner. I would still recommend a name brand sling on a duty rifle etc. But for $12 I'm impressed with this one.

How impressive can a $12 sling be...
You might as well just put a Black Nylon Sling and call it a day.

You get what you pay for in most things.

I can't comment on the Botach although you aren't out much if it doesn't work out.

I always recommend Boonie Packer.  They make multiple styles, have proven to be extremely durable and the prices are hard to beat for such a quality product.

Larry Vickers used a Boonie Packer as his starting point for the VCAS.

This.  I have a bunch of slings "that I took a chance on."

Would have been better to just have one nice sling.  Got my BFG for like 40 bucks and it is definitely much more than twice the sling that the imitations are.

If you don't want to spend much, get a basic non adjustable sling.

I actually do have one of the botach Quick adjust 2pts.  I took out the quick adjust and made it a solid sling, because the slider would move on its own, so it was useless.

Big fan of the Magpul MS1 and have the endpoints and AR setup to use this sling as 1 or 2 point.

True, but I'm not convinced that a useful sling has to be super-expensive. They're no Vickers but I think the Israeli slings are a good deal for the money.

U know why it's $20..........cause they literally have maybe $5 in parts into each sling.


Jesus man go on YouTube and make your own, all my quick adjust two point slings WITH qd disconnects cost me under $20

This is the Botach sling you want.

It's the same thing as a VTAC sling, for half the cost.

Know lots of people, including myself, who use them for duty/hard use guns. Well made.
