single and two point sling setups

[Gopher Slayer]

Hello, I'm new to the black rifle game. I just picked up a non restricted Acr off a fellow cgn'r. I'm looking to put a sling on the rifle. So far I'm looking at a magpul ms3 but I'm open to any suggestions. I like the idea of being able to swap from single to two point. I'd love to see pics of your sling setups even if its on a Ar.

I really like the padded Vickers and im also growing fond of my recently acquired savvy sniper 2/1 point sling...can't remember it's name

If you're looking into the MS3 still they can be found here. $11.50 flat rate shipping Canada wide.

Smart man right here.

This is how I have my ACR set up, and I could not be happier. I went through a few different slings/setups before getting exactly what I wanted. I can't swap to single point, but frankly I never need to.

Magpul MS4 with QD buttons on my XCR. Being able to switch between is very nice. As for it not being padded, hasn't ever bothered me, even wearing it all day. To each their own I guess.

That shorty ACR is fricken gorgeous.

Also: +1 for vickers

VCAS. I prefer non padded and 2 point.

That's a really good point! For my body size, padded sling means I lose a bunch of adjustment, and that's it.

I'm sure if you're hauling a C9 the padding has some benefit, but for most rifles I'd vote unpadded every time.

Get a Vickers - single points are for standing up and shooting on a square range - as soon as you start to complicate things, by moving or changing shooting positions, or transitioning from carbine to handgun, single point slings go sideways, Murphy takes over and bad things happen.

Ferro Concepts padded sling. Tried a magpul single point and hated it. Have used these ever since. Very comfortable and made in Calgary.

I've never had a problem transitioning from rifle to pistol, moving, changing shooting position and even transitioning from dominant hand to off hand shooting with a single point sling.

Here is a setup of the Vickers padded sling with Magpul MS4 hardware.

Single point:

2 points:

I've never had a problem transitioning from rifle to pistol, moving, changing shooting position and even transitioning from dominant hand to off hand shooting with a single point sling.

Transition and kneel is the best example, but getting up from prone and transitioning is another good one. Your height will affect how sideways things go - as well as barrel length. Also a single point doesn't do as good a job of keeping the carbine behind you as a good 2 point does.

where are you guys finding the magpul hardware? that acr is exactly the set up im looking for

I purchased a Savvy Sniper Quad X recently and it is hands down the best sling I've ever used. The Quad X is expensive though. There are cheaper versions. I highly recommend you look into one!

Hey donkbet...where can I find one of those Savvy Sniper slings?
