I'm looking at the Vickers Blue Force padded two point sling. Main use will be field carry, hunting and some "slow" three gun. I will use push button quick disco swivles. What are some other options or is this GTG?

| I'd personally get the non padded Victory model. The webbing on the BFG vickers is good stuff and its fairly comfortable and rigid. I've found that padded slings cause more ttrouble than they are worth when trying to get in and out of one quickly. And one of the biggest problems using QD swivels front and rear is that they let the sling twist up unless the QD swivels are limited in rotation. |
| I personally do not like the VTAC. I definitely prefer a 2 point to anything else hands down. But i don't like the webbing of the VTAC or the tag end that hangs for adjustment. And padded slings limit adjustment so I don't prefer anything padded. The comfort level of padding really only helps on heavier guns in my opinion. |
| Much prefer the padding. The limit in adjustment is an issue on the VCAS but not the padded VTAC. IMO you wont have any issues with te VCAS padded (what I use) unless you mount the rifle on your back or need it cinched TIGHT in on your body. For just using it as intended its great and you dont need to "get out of it" if you run the rear attachment at the receiver. Finally, almost all sling swivels are limited rotation. Even when they are not, such as using the rear of a CTR the stock body limits rotation on its own. I find padded infinitely more comfortable and hate non padded slings... tried the non padded VCAS and hated it. Now, if you wear a vest or armor its another story as non padded is fine. The new VTAC have velcro to secure the running end. Going to try one for my SBR and try the VCAS on a longer rifle to see if that works better. |
