Yes, I customized mine hence the higher price tag. Just too thick of webbing, doesn't glide as effortlessly. Just feels like there's too much material/beef that gets in the way. The slings I posted are a good middle ground, not too light, not too heavy. I like a more sporty/tactical sling that feels almost weightless.

Don't get me wrong, I love BFG, amazing folks, great products. Their sling just wasn't my cup of tea. Other stuff from BFG, yeah, I love it.

I've tried pretty much all the slings over the years. I picked up the Citizen sling and it was too thin and narrow for my liking...

I snagged one of the GBRS slings used off the EE (The owner cut it down a bit) and tried it on my Air rifle I squirrel hunt with and really started to like it.

I found a second one on the EE and grabbed it for a lightweight A2 built.

While I still like and use the unpadded VCAS slings, the GBRS seems to have the right amount of padding and sling width and thickness. I don't know if I would have bought one new, but the EE price was good.

I don't normally like padded slings as they take up too much of the adjustment length (Looking at you Padded VCAS)

I don't think I've ever bought a sling new... always off the EE, slings are not something that people wear out.

Yep, the magpul MS4 are really the best out there commercially. These custom ones probably rock, but couldn't bring myself to buy unless I saw it in use

probably noise, cost for one or two guns not a big deal but if you need them for a bunch it sure adds up, and a lot of people get rusted or stuck qd parts. some of the reviews say its not a if but when it will fail.

and maybe because they have paracord not doing anything.

thinking of a contour sling for at least one rifle but they are kinda pricey.

I did buy a sylvan arms sling and the magpul rifleman? that one is for my 10/22 though a few people say its too slick and the rifles like to slide off the shoulder way too easy.

With a non freefloated rifle do you really think there's a performance difference between using the sling swivel vs the fsb? Because there isn't.

If that was on a freefloated rail would you still make an edgy "JuST as GoOd" comment?

This is a thread on slings. Not freefloated rifles.

I like the Allen BakTrak sling for my bolt rifles.

Been a steady MS4 user for a while now. It's not fancy these days, it's not the best at anything, but it does almost everything you'd need in a sling for it's intended use. Mine haven't seen a ton of abuse, but plenty of non abusive use and I've yet to find a reason I wouldn't just buy another one if the need came up. I have three right now and I might be adding another one soon.

This is a thread on slings. Not freefloated rifles.

Ask me how I know you don’t use your rifle for anything besides possibly hunting.

They work just fine

I’m sure torquing your FSB while properly utilizing a sling works perfectly for dialing those irons in at 500

…

The military should just go back to 03 Springfields and Leather straps, no sense in wasting tax dollars on Gucci gear… it’s JuSt As GoOd.

I didn’t say anything about freefloated rifles, I made a comment in response to an individual that basically stated his $25 garand sling was better than any modern sling. Which is laughable.

You obviously agreed by posting your “work just fine” comment. Which 03 Springfields and leather slings work just fine too.

If you want to use dated technology, be my guest. But to try and insinuate that 80 year old sling design is superior to modern tech is just false.

You can love your retro rifles and slings and iron sights… but we drive cars now instead of horses for a reason.
