    US Military web sling. Installed backwards so the hook is on the front swivel. This allows you to use it las a tension adjustable international match style sling and still as a carry sling. I cannot see how it makes the rifle evil or menacing, but it really stablizes the accuracy at the 600 yard prone slow fire section of a match.

    I have had about 10 different slings over the years and this is the best thing going right now. Pricey, but top quality gear. I installed mine with Daniel Defense quick detach rail mounts.

    It depends on what you are shooting. I have a single point on mine, for quick transition from rifle to pistol and ease of carry. If I move to long range (500+m) I'll swap out to a standard sling where you can stabilize the rifle.

    Three point Python from Sling Dynamics- I love that sling. The ring over the foreend makes it perfect for either strong or weak fire use. .

    I like the SPEC-OPS single point so I can transition from left to right without taking it off or moving anything plus you can still muzzel check someone with it.

    +1 on the urban rush sling. Can switch from two point to single point in an instant. Last I knew was still an Indiana company, made all in the USA and they will oet you pay in silver if you don't want to use rhat fake paper money.

    I've been using Blackhawk Dieter slings for a few years. I use it mostly as a single point, but it can easily switch to a two point (although it's not rapidly adjustable like a VTAC or Vickers). If I had to hike a lot with a long gun, I'd go with a VTAC or Vickers.
