I wish I could find one that was clean with no tail, a comfortable material, and with a wide range of (quick) adjustment.
    Give the ESD (Edgar Sherman Design) sling a look. Sounds like it will check all those boxes.

    Yep this is true. The Slingster will scratch your receiver. Luckily, I don't care about scratches.

    Scratches and wear from hard use - Absolutely!

    Scratches from a well thought out, but poorly executed part on a $40 sling - hard pass, no matter how much it’s trending.

    I'm with you.....I dont throw my rifles down the driveway or put on faux "battleworn" finishes.
    The truth can only offend those who live a lie.

    Not mentioned as we are a foreign manufacturer and still very unknown in the U.S. Although people on this forum may remember me from working at Ase Utra sound suppressors, which is my primary occupation still.

    Here is another alternative that has not been mentioned, the Recon sling from 3HGR:

    https://www.3hgr.fi/en/verkkokauppa/tuotteet/3hgr-recon

    - Quality materials with IR protection
    - Does not absorb water in the same way as slings that utilize cotton in the sling material. So very good feature from the arctic to the jungles.

    Great sling overall, even compared to the BFG VCAS slings, which I have personally used for many years.

    Best Regards!

    Tuukka ( co-owner at 3HGR )
