planeflyer21 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Just got one of these in multicam for Liberty. Over all I have to say KICK ASS!! After initial setup and adjustment, it is quite probably what most people want in a sling. Pull one strap to tighten the sling, another tab to loosen it. Very much like a Brownell's Latigo sling but padded. Only one minor real issue and two little peeves. When tightening the sling, I run out of adjustment with the pull tab and have to grab the strap and pull it to get it snug for rapid movement (jogging/running). The peeves are now I'm carrying my shorty .308 all over the house and now I need to paint it multicam. You sick disease spreadin' bastids! <lmao> Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I have a few of the Magpul slings (MS2 and MS3-QD) for my smaller rifles. I have been HEAVILY contemplating the Blueforce/Vickers Padded Sling for my .308 The project is never ending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLKSHEEP Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Damit, do they make the 2pt padded sling for LaRue? http://www.laruetactical.com/larue-tactical-padded-sling if this is the same sling I paid too much! :'( It's a great sling though.

planeflyer21 Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Pretty dang close BLK...the V-TAC doesn't have the plastic quik-detach buckle. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Actually, with those QD swivels, you probably came out ahead. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I have several of the VTAC Mk1 slings, too - same principal of design, for a 2-point, 1" wide strap (not as comfortable as wider material), and it uses the old-skool army-issue rucksack strap metal adjuster - excellent stuff. There's nothing bad with any VTAC sling, no matter which model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magwa Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 I have three 2 unpadded and one padded for my 308 they are simply the best sling ever...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Diss Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I just got back from 4 days hunting hogs in Texas. I used this sling for 10 hours each one of those four days on my Mega 308. If it had any short comings I'd know by now. Loved the sling. Comfortable and versatile. While walking to the grounds I'd sling it up over my shoulder, muzzle up and tighten it. Once we spotted, I'd bring the rifle back to my chest and keep it tight. For the stalk I'd loosen it and carry low so I could shoulder quickly. Worked gread. Killed 4 hogs and a bobcat.

edgecrusher Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I have two, I believe, that are re-labled and sold through Larue. I like them enough, but still prefer single points... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Diss Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I suppose I'll be asked about the equipment. I'm shooting my Mega Maten 308 with Rainier Ultramatch 18" barrel, JP lightened BCG, Ace stock and DPMS carbon hardguard. It weighs 8 lbs with no scope. Optics is a rented ATN ThOR 320 3x. Sling is the VTac of course. My buddy is using the outfitters rig. It's a 6.8 SPC AR-15 with Eotech and PVS-14 night vision scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 It's like you're psychic! <laughs> That was my next question. I was actually looking at those ATN NV scopes. Were you satisfied with the performance? Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Diss Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Oh yea. I could spot a hot target at 1500 yards. At 1000 yards I could tell if it was a cow or a pig. At 500 yards I could tell a coyote from a skunk. I rented it from themaloutfitters.com. Flew into Dallas, met him outside the airport and picked up the equipment. It worked perfectly. The 320 3x cost $300 for the weekend. Worth every penny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
