OPTIMIZED SNIPER SLING
The Optimized Sniper Sling is a versatile tactical sling used to enhance repeatability and stability of the shooter resulting in increased first round accuracy, ability to see trace and/or splash, and lighting fast follow-up shots. This sling was specially designed with input from experienced snipers incorporating essential functions for tactical use and a patented integrated “bipod loading” mechanism.





__________________________________________



The Concept of Bipod Loading:
“Loading the Bipod” is a term used to describe the pressure between the bipod legs and the shooter’s shoulder which essentially locks the weapon into place making an extremely stable firing position. This sling allows the shooter to load the bipod when there isn’t an object to press the bipod legs against, ensures equal pressure/ loading on every shot (repeatability), and gives the shooter unmatched recoil management.




Prone Mode:
To fire in the prone position simply press the button on the quick disconnect and assume the prone firing position. The sling can be used with the body loop over one shoulder or the body loop under both arms (as shown in picture above). With the non-firing hand, pull on the running end of the bipod tension strap to force the stock rearward into the firing shoulder. This will lock the weapon into place.  




Single Point Mode:
The OSS allows the operator to maneuver and fire the weapon like a traditional single point assault sling. The padded loop around the body is quickly adjusted using a “Rucksack” style friction buckle. With the Bipod Tension Mechanism attached, (as seen in standing figure to the right) the operator can quickly assume any bipod stabilized firing position (standing, kneeling, prone).




Two-Point Mode:
To secure the weapon to the operator’s back (climbing or fast-roping ops), the body loop is place around the stock of the weapon and the OSS is now used as a traditional two point sling. This function places both the Bipod Tension Mechanism buckle and the Body Loop friction buckle on the operator’s chest for easy adjustment. The vertical bipod attachment loop prevents the bipod legs from extending while the weapon is on the back.


The OSS will operate with many models of Harris Bipods

Awesome.

This is sweet

Do Want!

I will be Ordering this bad boy when the Christmas dillos come out.

Mark

What end plate are you using for the OBR 7.62 to attach the swivel???

Sexay

'Nother thing to add to the Wish List for the gf

Hopefully I'll have one of these when I get an obr in a few years...

Very cool.

You know something?

I would really like the front section with just a loop to grab with bare fingers or a gloved hand.

Darn-it, LaRue!

You keep coming up with new ways to liberate money from my wallet to yours!



































Please don't stop.

Added to my wish list!

Take the front half and make a loop that snaps into it. Since it already has a QD there it should be easy peasy to rig up.



 

Yep, and comes free with a $95 bottle of Dillo Dust, which I need anyway!

A.W.D.

Nice

Any chance for multicam?

Shut up and take my money.

Seriously, though, how come whenever someone asks ho to get a QD on a LT lower the question is met with silence?

I like it. I like it a lot.

Mark, any chance of seeing a full picture of the sling in 2 point mode on that bolt gun?  Been looking to get a sling for my 700 and I'm already using the integral LaRue/Harris bipod.

There is always a lot of thought put into their products. Good job once again.

Do want.

Any chance for something closer to UDE in color???

I share my Foliage LT padded sling with both 556 and 762 OBR's....wouldn't mind having this for my 762, but the foliage matches better than the coyote, and I dont want a black one.



Love the design of the sling!

There are a number of QD extension plates for AR-platform rifles that'll work.

Our choice would be the Troy....However, the current Troy re-design does not fit the OBR. Troy is busy updating theirs to fit the OBR.

OST

Oh, good question. I would like to see that too.

A.W.D.

Understood, and thank you!  I have tried a variety of sling plates along the way (on non-LT rifles), and my choice is the Troy, as well.  Can you tell me what is on the rifle in the picture?  I understand you run a machine shop, so what is in the picture may be a one-off, prototype, or modified product not available, just wondering what is currently in use.

Good news that Troy is showing up to the game.





I'm drawing a blank.  What is OST?  Sorry if I should know this.  When I'm at work, the acronyms run together...







I've been known to drive a tent stake in the ground and hook a short bungee cord or paracord strung between the bipod feet to it.  Not as elegant a solution as the OSS, but it works in a pinch.  I've also put a screw right in the middle of my shooting bench for the same purpose.  Very eager to get the OSS, though.  Much easier to set up than driving something in the ground.  

This sling is complete win.

Nice.

If I may be so bold.

You could take the "T" section that connects to the bi-pod and replace the fast buckle with something like this.



and one could use it with one of your Two point slings.  

And I wouldn't have to buy another sling

If the fast buckle had two qd sockets (one to go into the handguard and one to receive the slings' ), it could be run as a two point sling.

Is there anything keeping the bipod from deploying in single point mode if the sling gets hung up?

I REALLY like that idea......would be easy to use my existing LaRue padded sling for the same purpose.

The plate in the photo is a modified Troy...we cut the side sockets off, leaving the bottom center.

Good info, thanks!

The older Troy M4 OEM is also pictured, but they do not make that model any more.

I have a dumb question.  Will this work with a bolt gun?

Yep, so long as it has a bipod.  A QD for the single point mode is optional.  You can use it like this even without it:

Mr. Fingar, Are you referring to the 7.62 receiver or is this the case with the 5.56 OBR/PredatAR/PredatOBR as well?

Thanks.

Lordy, more stuff that I don't need and can't afford, but want anyway...

Just got mine.  Another shout out to the LT shipping guys who are apparently constantly jacked up on speed.



Looking forward to test driving it tomorrow...

I'm sure you pieced it all together and assumed living-room prone...what are your first impressions?

Doh, busted!  

Took me a few seconds to get it settled in, but once I figured out the right adjustment, it was completely solid.  I always felt like I was chasing the rifle around on my belly, a couple inches at a time, but this keeps it nice and tight in the shoulder and on the ground, even on the relatively slick carpet.  Of course, shooting it will tell the real story, but I'm happy as I could be with it right now.

You guys shipped my PRS today, and as soon as I get the QD sockets for it, I'll make good use of the QD in the middle of the sling.  Someone had a real stroke of genious about that thing.  Without it, it's just a fancy rope attached to the bipod.  But with it, it seems like a really functional and versatile sling.

OK so I'm a little confused...can this be used as a two point sling with out the bi-pod?  Does it have QD swivels on both ends?

Negative. It attaches to the bipod on the front. QD point in the middle for single point use. Transport two-point sling mode uses bipod attachment on the front, and loop around buttstock on rear.  

If you don't have a bipod, this isn't the best sling for you.

I've got a bi-pod I just don't ALWAYS run it...oh well...It'd be nice if I could use the QD on the end of the padded sling that unbuckles...



but it looks like the buckles are switched...

If your bipod is QD, just swap the sling when you pull off the bipod.
