What is the best sling for my AR?

Gratefulpatriot · March 15, 2018, 11:52pm

I have seen a few different sling set ups. The one I saw MAC using in one of his vids looked great. I think it was a Tavor vid. Anyone know the name of that sling or where I can get a few of those?
Thank you.

I don’t know what sling your referring too in MAC’s video. So no help there. But I choose slings depending on what my needs are for that rifle. Are you looking to carry the rifle in a patrol fashion? Or are you carrying a heavy Varmint rifle over your shoulder for a few miles? Are you looking for a sling to use for shooting support? Those are what I consider when choosing a sling.

All good questions, I should have been more specific. I would use the sling for patrol but would also like to use it for shooting support. The sling MAC was using seemed to have a great sliding adjustment that would change the length of the sling very easily and rapidly. The rifle I wish to sling is a Daniel Defense DDM4V7.

Tim uses one of the “Savvy Sniper” slings on most of his AR’s. For 2 point slings, I personally prefer the padded “Viking tactics” sling. Either are very well built and not over priced.

Thank you!! I will look those up

I second CzechsixTV. Don’t look any further.

The magpul is great. Single point, double…all uses

Magpul makes good stuff, I have a couple slings from them, The 10 platform rifles are a bit heavy for a single point but the two point magpul works just fine.

I have the Magpul convertible slings and they’re great. I’m not a fan of single-point slings, but it’s nice to have the option.

Old thread, but I like my VTAC two-point nylon sling for its ability to quickly cinch down tight to the body for hands-free use and loosen up again to handle it.

I also have a similar Blue Force Gear cotton-webbed sling, but it’s adjustability badly suffered once it got wet and muddy. Looks like the cotton expanded a bit when it absorbed the water, making the sliding adjustable buckle hard to move along it.

I bought these off amazon, they were only 8 or 9 bucks. Used this one this hunting season. it worked fine. I have to use it to get to stand and climb the 18 foot ladder. it’s a 1 or 2 point.
