Just get a VTAC padded and survive with it.

Any quality sling will work. My choice would be BFG VCAS. Plenty of other options will work as well.

Shit really hits the fan, you'll be rocking some twine tied to your swivels.
How is your bug out sling different than your regular sling? Paracord? Why? Just carry a hank of paracord. |

Ok so I have been looking at the sling. Whats the difference when it says nylon or metal "hardware"?

The triglide buckles and the little three-way adjuster thing that makes the adjustments on the VCAS.
They can be plastic or they can be metal. Your choice. |

This is one I use and like Specter 3 Point Sling. There is the Wilderness/Giles 3 Point Sling too.

3 point slings are dated. The quick adjustable 2 point slings are the way to go. You can still carry in the patrol position, but quickly adjust or loosen for various shooting positions. Quicker to adjust when using gear / cold weather clothing. Can also quickly tighten sling and throw over the back to climb or prisoner control

Everyone keeps re inventing the VCAS sling, but it is still the best one out there....
I stopped looking years ago, because you cannot improve on that sling... and yea, Paracord slings are stupid... saw a guy bring one to a 3 day carbine class... after lunch on day 1, he swapped it for a loaner VCAS sling.... In my world, that's a clue. |

I run 100% VCAS but Magpul is an OK product too. 2 to 1 convertible.
If you want paracord keep that in your pack. Your rifle is not a place to put a bunch of bullshit. I am of the opinion that you should store NOTHING on your gun. It belongs in your pack. |

I have a couple of Savvy Sniper slings and I like them alot. I like the way I can snug it up of loosen it up super quick. It's also very well made.
I also have the newest Magpul sling. Which is a good sling just not on par with the Savvy Sniper. |

I don't know if I'm just weird or what, but I still try to use a plain leather strap sling when I can. Just something about leather.

Most of my carbines/rifles have GI web (cotton or nylon) on them. I use them for shooting more than carrying. I was always one of those guys who wanted my rifle in my hands if I was moving.
I have single point slings on the AR pistols and a couple of the smaller carbines. Just for the heck of it. Probably none of these would be my first choice to walk away from my house with. I have a high dollar sling on the GII. It's okay, more complicated than the GI slings and again, probably not a rifle I'd walk away from the house for the last time with. |
