Frank Proctor PHD sling. $35, super simple setup/adjustment and it’s the lightest sling out there.

I don’t understand the desire for a lightweight sling. If you’re actually using it, it’s not weight added to the gun.

It’s still weight that has to be carried.

But you do have a point that the weight difference between the ultra lightweight WOTG sling and say the BFG/VCAS sling doesn’t make up for its lack of features and inferior function.

The SOB b-sling is to me a great alternative for a 1” lightweight sling vs the WOTG. In my humble opinion - the tightening and release mechanisms are faster and superior.

Not that weight is the primary concern but it is a bonus. I like the stream lined design for my application. If I were carrying the rifle for 8 hours at a time I’d use a padded VCAS. I do run some on my aks but for a lightweight patrol rifle I like the WOTG. I’ve had no issues with the slider on mine.
