Check out the Savy Sniper slings one point or two point well made and some great features. There is You Tube video of them on the MAC channel here:

Love mine.

Just got my Savy Sniper sling from Custom Copper. Expensive, but it is very high quality.

^^^This is what's on my R6601 Colt.

On both of the 'other' Colts and the AR-308, I put a "Tango Down" mount and got a single point sling that attaches there.

I'm an old, fat guy, and running around with a "slung" AR just ain't gonna happen, unless an AWFUL LOT of S Hits The F!!!!!!

Blue Force Gear VCAS, Vikings Tactics VTAC, and the Sheriff of Baghdad slings are the only ones I'd recommend. I had a Magpul MS3, but there was nothing "quick" about its quick adjust, and I never used the single point option any way.

I don't jump on all stuff tacticool, but the three above that I referenced were all designed by ex-Delta guys. They work, and not without good reason.

I got a Colt 6920 Magpul edition recently. I hate the standard sling. I have been reading about slings but not sure what to get. I don't see the point in a 1 point sling for me, but could be wrong. I don't know the advantage of a 3-point sling. The QD sounds nice etc.

What do you use and why do you like it?

Tried single-points, but found they didn't secure the rifle well enough for my liking. For ARs, I only use 2-point slings. With these, you can carry various readies, barrel down in front (right shoulder/RH), or barrel down on back (left shoulder/RH).

For hunting, I use several Vero Vellini models to hike in and out with traditional hunting rifles. These also reduce shock well when climbing/descending. Don't use them much for shooting, although the Vero "Tactical Two-Point" is a great compromise between comfortable carry and shooting aid. Have one of these and do use it for black rifle hunting.

Use a Tab Gear Elite for hauling my big rifles, particularly in the mountains. These are also good precision shooting slings.

What are you going to do with the sling?

Some slings are designed to carry the rifle over the shoulder. Only.

Some, like the M1907 style can also serve to stabilize the rifle when shooting.

Others, like the single point and some 2 point are designed to carry the rifle in a ready to employ fashion.

Different slings for different uses.
