EasyEJL Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I'm ready to get a custom paracord sling for the LR308, and I dunno whether to do the bungie style 1 point connector or a more standard two point. Not having used the one point before, can anyone tell me the advantage? note i'm a 20" barrel setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 One point slings are great if you are in an active shooter situation. It keeps your rifle always at the ready. The rest of the time your rifle is in the way and wobbling all over the place. Really uncomfortable with guns larger than a SMG or small carbine. Two point slings are tried and proven. Not as "high speed" as the single point, but very stable and a lot more comfortable.... Especially with long guns. If you want a convertible sling (2 point to 1 point), look into something like the Magpul MS2 or MS3 (I have both models). Most people here are fans of the VTAC and Blueforce "Vickers" padded two point slings. They run about $40-$45 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyEJL Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 hmm, yeah. Maybe it makes sense for me to have 2 slings, one of each or the convertible. i'm going to do some of the competitive rifle/3 gun shooting, so the 1 point would be nice for that. But I also want to take this hunting in the woods, and the one point sounds like (as I figured) would suck for that with a long barrel.

unforgiven Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 MS3 is a damn nice sling,and the VTac is also practicle have them both.On one of the Tac TV shows they had a single vs. 2 point and when you'r on the move a single point is a pain in the balls literally.

BLKSHEEP Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 For hunting or any type of extended carry you'll definitely want a wide 2pt sling, preferably padded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just moving, single point sux. Even standing in place sux! Moving and shooting, especially with weapon transitions, single point is king.

sketch Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 2 point goes front or back of body. Single with a 20 inch your not hands free when moving or transition to pistol.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyEJL Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 well, I scored a lightly used MS3 in coyote/fde for $20+ shipping, and it does look pretty sweet. need to hook it onto the rifle still, but thats after replacing the buffer end plate (which I also have, a black widow with QD hole) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 For heavy rifle that will get humped around alot, the TT 3-point is the sheit - wide strap material that distributes the load well (better that skinny straps), the 3-point keeps it close to your body when you're moving, bending forward, etc. It's the only way to go for a heavy rifle that you'll be carrying around for some distance. I had my TT 3-point left over from my M4A1, in Afghani-land. That thing weight just over 10lbs, unloaded, and got run up and down mountains, etc. Damn glad I had it. When I built the .308 AR, I already had it, and it was a short decision-making process on it. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soofley Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I'm running a 20" 308 also and lemme tell you that if your shorter than 5'9 don't get a single point hahaha. You'll be dragging your muzzle device on the ground. Right now i have a Troy 2pt battlesling. i also like the padding on it because my 20 incher is dang heavy. I thought about getting a paracord sling but i like my slings adjustable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I thought about getting a paracord sling but i like my slings adjustable There was a video on youtube on how to do an adjustable paracord rifle sling. I can't find it anymore. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StainTrain Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 If you anticipate having to put hands on someone (for work or kinky role play), the two or three point is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I've got an ms3 on my 308 I'm 6'2" 18" barrel is ok. I like it when sneak hunting thru the woods but but it gets heavy quick when at a hang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magwa Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 I carry my 10 lbs of DPMS on a blue force Vtac 2 point and it is a dream I carry it all day elk hunting with no praoblems at all and it makes it easy to use my binos....

shibiwan Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) For the 308, especially if you're carrying a heavy one (10+ lbs) with a fixed stock, long(er) barrel, stay with a 2-point. Single point on something that big/heavy turns it into a nutbuster. Edited November 16, 2013 by shibiwan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyEJL Posted November 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I ended up with one of the 1-2 point convertible magpuls, and will end up eventually buying one of the 1-2 point tactical link ones.
