yeah, in many ways vtac slings and beachin tactical slings are similar. many companies have them, including a magpul one that I used for a short time but liked the vtac better. Can't say I have used a beachin tactical so it might be best, idk, vtac always worked well for me even climbing mountains, ladders, and moving fast with the weapon on front or back.

Beachin Tactical recently posted a video in a thread that showed the benefits of a good 2 point sling.

really just find a nice comfortable 2 point sling that is easy to use and setup.

3 points I hate, way to confusing and don't work well half the time. single point slings while cool and quick, they leave your weapon dangling if you have to climb anything or even just drawing your secondary, plus you cant put the weapon on your back then.

Thought I was done, but now I realize i need a good sling for packing in the woods, and a bipod. Any thoughts on either of these, atlas is probably too expensive for me.

I really like my gg&g little cheaper than the atlas no additional charge for QD on it either. One think I like about it over Harris is no external spring to get snagged on.

shepp, definitely gonna have to come down and see you. way better than going to see the family. haha.

yeah gg&g looks nice... but I could buy 3 harris for the price of one. haha. besides, my harris I got while I was in the army still. can't beat free! the springs have never bothered me. only problem I have had with harris is when deer hunting, be careful about putting the legs down because they fly down so fast they can create a lot of noise if you don't hold them back a bit.
