    What is liked best, MP MS2 or Vickers?

    Comments are appreciated. Thinking about trying the MS2 with ASAP.

    You are comparing two different sling types. They both have their place, the better question would be how do you intend to use it. To determine what you might like, it might not be a bad idea to get a cheaper sling first (boonie packer) rather than spending $65 on something that you wont like. The general consensus I read here is single point for CQB only, modern two point for all other times.

    I have several Vickers in all shapes and colors and love them. I am building a new gun and was thinking about running the ASAP plate and the MS2 sling. I know it can be a 2 point and 1 point, so it seems like it kills two birds, but am mainly curious as to owner's thoughts who have both and what and why they prefer one over the other or if they are indifferent.

    Thanks.

    For me, the padded Vickers two point is king. If I was going to run a single point though, the Magpul MS2 would be my choice.

    Thanks Grant, that helps.
    As far as the ASAP, does anyone prefer this without running the MS2 sling over standard QD RE plate?

    That was the thread I was looking for, but I have not been able to use the search function all day for some reason.
    Thanks all.

    I think this question is like a

    Do you like Chocolate ice cream better or vanilla?

    I like the Vickers for a 2 point. I have not tried the MS2 sling. I have spoken to some people that have and they pointed out some structural deficiencies. I trusted them. Since you cannot objectively look at my experience as you were not there, I encourage you to do the same.

    Like the 2 point for 16" and above, like the single for SBRs. YMMV.

    Well, I thought about this being the case, but after finding that the MS2 works as a 2 point as well, it was sorta like Chocolate and Chocolate vanilla.
