    How to critique a rifle:

    1. Take to a quality multi-day carbine class of known quality such as TigerSwan, Jason Falla, LAV, Kyle Lamb, Kyle DeFoor, Northern Red, Jeff Gonzalez, Dave Harrington, or Mike Pannone.

    2. See what works for you, breaks, don't need, etc.

    3. Fix problems.

    It's also about how they are heat treated.

    Geisselle has found that the pins are soft and of the wrong diameter

    - Sling is way to bulky for me. Sling choice should be directly impacted by intended use/application. If that particular model works for your given mission set, you're good to go.

    What no one has mentioned is why you should ditch that sling. The "squared" padding will hang up on clothing etc when transitioning the rifle at times. Look at above sling recommendations and see how the padding section is tapered and can not get caught or snag when the weapon is rotating around your torso.

    This and avoid being recorded calling anyone names that come across as offensive or combative. (Yay AmeriKa.)

    There look to be two different Vickers slings from Blue Force. Padded and unpadded. Any real preference between the two?

    If you're in a t-shirt most of the time when using this rifle get the padded. Your neck/shoulder will appreciate it.

    10-4. Usually either a T or a polo. I do appreciate all the thoughts. I am going to be making changes. On a different note, what is a good class for a beginning tactical shooter? I know my way around firearms, but would like to build a foundation with this type of shooting.

    I have both...I prefer the unpadded over the padded. I've always had issues with the padded portion not laying across me correctly and getting "scrunched up" too easy. The unpadded has always worked well for me whether I'm wearing just a T-shirt or my polys with a vest underneath.

    I run both and prefer the padded for the reasons mentioned above.
