Ferro Concepts Slingster has been working great for me. Have it on 3 different rifles.

This is not a problem when you are using the rifle. If you transport your rifle in a rifle case it can be an issue. You can fold the sling in such a way that it won't be a problem. The Slingster uses metal hardware vs plastic.

I bought a Proctor sling due to it's minimalistic nature. I like it fair enough.

I'm set on the VCAS but have considered buying a Proctor for that very reason.

Excluding 3 point slings and basic web slings, I started with 1.5" Boonie Packers, then tried a Vickers and liked it due to the reduced weight/bulk, then tried a WOTG and switched over to them for another weight/bulk drop.

My need for adjustment is more for snugging when climbing than anything else and use the sling just as a way to hang on to the carbine when I need my hands free so most of the time it is just there and not supporting the carbine.

Blue Force Gear slings are great, simple and effective.

I have the padded VCAS and VTAC. The more I used the VCAS the less I like it. IMO it doesn't have enough adjusment range and I don't like how thick the material is. For these reasons I like the VTAC better. I don't like the long tail, but it has more adjustment and I can cinch the rifle down against my body when I want to.

I also have a few of the Magpul MS4 slings and like them quite a bit. Someone mentioned earlier that they didn't like them but didn't elaborate why. I've run them in multiple matches and classes and haven't had any trouble with them. I like the material better than the VCAS or VTAC, the slider works well, and (maybe because it's not padded) it seems to have more adjustment range than the VCAS to me. Not quite as much as the VTAC but it works. I also feel it's a good value considering it comes with QD and 2-to-1 point conversion hardware.

Ranking all three I consider the MS4 and VTAC pretty close but I'd probably give the edge to the MS4. The VCAS is a distant 3rd.

I have the Magpul MS4 that I use and I like it. I put side mount attachment on the MLOK rail and the Magpul buttstock has sling mount so I use a two point sling most of the time. I did put a Magpul ambidextrous sling attachment point QD so I can use a single point sling if I want.
