It's time to get a decent sling.

Not really sure which one to get. I'm going to be buying 2. I like single point but my wife uses a double point. So I guess let me know your thoughts on both kinds.


I've been looking at the Magpul ones. I've heard mixed reviews about SOE. seems like it's either love or hate with those guys.



Crosstac is another I was considering. Vtac? Blackhawk?


There's so many choices.  Which one is the best?  



Thanks in advance.

Magpul MS3, BFG VCAS, or VTAC sling. I've tried others here and there over the years but those are the 3 I have stuck with.

+1, specifically the padded VCAS.  

Close second is the VTAC.

I really didn't care for the Magpul MS2, so I never bothered with their other slings.

I like the padded VCAS.

The Magpul slings are nice as well.

I run the WOTG sling by Frank Proctor. Very lightweight and minimalistic.

I got it for my first rifle about a year ago and haven't take. It off. I really like it. If I could change something, it would be going to the multicam color instead of coyote. They released multicam months after I bought the coyote :/

+1. I love they way they're set and so easy to adjust. I use them on everything but bolt actions rifles.

Double or single point slings.  Made in the USA.  Can be custom ordered to your specs and colors other manufacturers do not.  In the same price category as big name manufacturers.

VTAC was the almost universal choice in my unit and still my go-to.

What purpose(s) will your sling serve?  Will it be a carry sling (in all iterations), or a shooting sling, as in aid to marksmanship?

On what sort of rifle will you install the sling?

In short, the rifle and your intended purposes have a LOT to do with what sling might be best.

give more info so that better answers can be provided.

VCAS. Got one issued to me for my duty rifle in Korea, loved it so much that I got one for my personal carbine as soon as I got home. Possibly the most versatile sling out there.

Same here. You can add a 2 to 1 triglide to make it go from 2 point to single point.
