    Default AR15 sling recommendations

    Am looking to purchase a tactical sling for my AR carbine ... would prefer a 2-point sling. Any recommendations?

    Thanks,
    John

    Viking Tactics VTAC sling, or the BFG VCAS sling.

    Either are high quality, the VTAC is a little more adjustable (but it has more straps hanging around)...the Vickers is cleaner, but less adjustable.

    Here is the VCAS:


    Here is the VTAC:


    The VTAC is very popular with the SF community, and former SOF personnel in the training industry today. It's also a few dollars cheaper.

    That one is a lot closer to the Vickers. Closed end loop for adjustment, and the adjustment buckle travels...on the VTAC it's sewn at the end of the paddling and the adjustment moves through it.

    Has anyone had any experience with the slings from SOE Tacitcal? (http://www.originalsoegear.com/) I've heard good things, was wondering if any of you guys had anything to say about them....

    The vickers is based on the boonie packer, the story goes that vickers used the BP for years until he released his single buckle design.
