Very Nice, Great Success

It's the best sling there is. It's what I use in the Marine Corps and there is no other sling I will use for my rifles. Maybe a force of habit, maybe the result of these slings being the best ever made. You can't go wrong with a Vickers.

Well Designed

Great design. The quick adjust is just what was needed in a tactical sling. Keeps the weapon secure and allows fast adjustments for different shooting positions.

Great sling

This is a great rifle sling, which I have mounted on my issued weapon. The sling is simple and effective, while additionally giving me the ability to easily tighten my rifle against my body while going hands on or doing other tasks. Highly recommend this product!

Great Sling

One of the best slings I have ever used. Very easy to adjust and durable.

VCAS - The Best Two Point Sling

I wish they had these slings back when I was in the USMC. It would have made patrolling and forced marches a lot more agreeable. Simple, rugged, comfortable, and easily adjustable. I picked up two of these -- one for my AR and the other for my Saiga. I attached one end directly to my adjustable stock and the other to a qd sling mount on my AR or Blue Force UWL (also purchased from Brownells) on my Saiga. I would have picked up a third, but I want that in OD and Brownells doesn't offer that color. Anyhow, I couldn't be happier with this product. Brownells service was fast and easy.

Not bad

Very strong and works great. But will rub your neck raw if not carful.

Disappointed, feels very cheap

Rough finish on buckles, cheap feeling nylon staps. After buying QD swivels its $95 dollars all in. I own the magpul MS4 gen 2 sling and that is a quality sling coming in at $65 ish dollars out the door. Overall pretty disappointing product in my opinion. Borderline feels fake,
