Padded VTAC.
More adjustment both ways than the Blue Force VCAS, and a longer padded section. |

Love my Proctor slings.... I didn’t care for the padded VTAC.
Hit me up if you’re looking to get rid of your Proctor. |

Here ya go OP.
VTAC Mk2 is the padded sling. They are pretty much the go to. USSOCOM uses them for a reason. Close second is the VCAS non padded. If your cheap you could go with the Boonie Packer 2P AOTM Combat Sling. VTAC use video |

The V tac and Vickers are both excellent. I’ve used the Vickers forever and don’t see a need to try the VTAC. I do run a magpul convertible ( forget model number ) for use in and out of vehicles. I wear it as a single point detached from the rifle while in the vehicle - no sling to get snagged on anything while inside or getting in and out of vehicle Convert to 2 point when I get out and am able to.

BFG VCAS. It's been my work and personal sling for 7.5 years and I wouldn't go any other way.

RB1 Combat Sling is awesome.
It's not padded (I'm personally not a fan of padded as I have a thinner frame and I can never get all the adjustment I want) but the neck sleeve is a nice touch. I can't remember off the top of my head if the front HK hook is removable (thus replaceable with QD). Light weight and simple. Excellent build quality too (made by LBT). https://redbackone.com/products/rb1-combat-sling I have never tried a VTAC so I can't compare, though they seem to be well regarded. I have had several BFG VCAS and there's nothing wrong with them (still have a BFG SOC-C, but it is just a spare at this point); I do prefer the lighter material of the RB1. I also have a Magpul MS1; I prefer the Magpul material and its length adjuster over the VCAS. |

Don't know if you guys are tracking these at all, but I've been swapping my carbine and work rifle out now.

Padded or non padded BFG sling. I prefer non padded but they are the only slings on my ARs.

Ive been using the VCAS for years and its a solid design. The plastic slider version is the one to get unless you are required to have a metal slider. My current go to sling is the SO Tech Cheetah....cheap, super easy to adjust, and works great.
Padded slings are a waste to me for carbines |

VTAC padded with a quick detatch on the front mid top rail.
This is how I've set up for two deployments. Vickers is VERY similar so for me, the quick detatch is key. You can't go wrong with either one. |

I have a magpul ms1 with end points I need. I can setup this up as a one or two point sling. Very comfortable. The sling material is very pliable, so no digging anywhere.

Im full Vickers, all the way. Only negative is limited adjustment. I like the medic sling version for the ability to cinch it up or let it out for armor or no armor very quickly. It basically has to be set to minimim size though and cannot have padding. I have found padding to not help comfort in the long run, only width. You want to wear a collar if neck cutting is the issue. You want a lighter gun if it pulls too hard from weight, not padding.
