I use an single point for the game I play for three specific reasons
1. I shoot rifle right and pistol left. A rifle hanging across my chest muzzle down to the left could get the way of my draw. I could train to work around that if I needed to of course
2. The game I play does not have movement after the transition so the dangling rifle does not bang my knees/shins etc. I just have to look after the muzzle when grabbing mags and cleaning up brass which can be done without too much trouble from the squat position.
3. The single point is simple and does not interfere with mag changes or access to controls on the rifle. I only have to deal with one attachment point to quickly release or attach the rifle so I only have to have it on when I need too. Again, that works for the game I play. It may not be for everybody.
If I start participating in an event that requires movement with the rifle slug I will consider a change to my sling so I can be hands free. I will then have practice with it too of course to make sure I am getting the best use out of it and it does not hang up on mag changes etc.
Also, I don't mind having to hold on to my rifle to keep it from swaying. I have to do that around home in boxers anyway.
Oh sorry, that's not my rifle...that is my gun.
Okay back to being serious. There are good reasons to use either IMO depending on the length of your rifle and the game/event/course/real life scenario you are engaged in. Take a look at the kit other more experienced shooters are using for the same or similar shooting and go from there.

That is true, I should choose the matches I participate better. Last time {2 weeks ago} some guy in our squad brought his RAMBO knife with him and fastened to his chest as part of his must have equipment. I forgot to ask him what was he planning of using that for.
