Does anyone have any experience with the vickers SAW or 240 sling? I am thinking about getting one but wanted to see if they are worth the money. Also I don't have any experience with the vickers slings only the VTAC.

I tried the search function but the site has been kind of hit and miss.

I used a 240 sling on my SAW overseas, I thought it was a HUGE improvement over the issue sling. It is pretty expensive and bulky but worth it.

I used the SAW sling in Asskrackistan and i loved it. Huge improvement over the issued one. I hated that awful retractable buttstock, the mounting points are weird, and the loop on the top is retarded. I took my VLTOR modstock and used it on my SAW and it was much nicer, and it had no odd protrusions, and it dropped a bunch of weight too. VLTOR was supposed to be releasing a SAW specific buttstock, but i havent followed up on it any. I also ran an ACOG on my SAW, so the combo of the sling and the modstock worked wonders.

Thankyou gentlemen for your replies. Looks like I will need to give one a try!
