Viking Tactics Wide Padded Sling

The Vikings Tactics wide padded sling is definately a bargain at $41 bucks. I took a 2 day carbine class with a unpadded sling and my neck was sore and raw after the class. I immediately logged in to SKD and started my search for a padded sling. The options I wanted in a sling was padded, easily adjustable, 2 point, QD, and adjust to a wide range of sizes. The Viking Tactics 2 point sling fit the format I wanted. I have had the sling for about a month and a half and love it. I have since taken a 3 day carbine course, and while still sore after the class, I was comfortable and my neck wasnt raw. I have used other more expensive slings and I can honestly say that the Viking Tactics wide padded sling in the best banf for your buck.

BEST SLING AROUND. WORKS GREAT ON THE BENELLI SUPER 90. AND EVEN BETTER ON THE CARBINE DURING LONG TREKS. COMFY ON MY NECK.

For speed and assault shooting the two point setup takes some getting used to, but once you've got the arm drop for shoulder switching and transitioning the gun to your back it fits every possible tactical scenario with a quick tug on the tensioner or release. The tensioner is the easiest to operate and most reliable i've found, especially once the sling gets dirty and sweaty. The only temperamental part is setting up your sling length for maximum adjustment. You want to get the release toggle as far up under your arm as possible, while still being able to actuate it readily. My only negative point is that the sling doesn't come with and attachment hardware by way of QD swivels, H&K clips, etc. I salvaged these from my previous two point sling of a different manufacturer. Quality-wise the sling is first rate, and I've bought quite a lot of kit from SKD and never had a problem with service or delivery, so no complaints there.

Perfect sling for my AR. Soft fabric, yet strong enough to handle abuse. Does not cut into your neck like other slings. Padding always in the perfect position. Very easily manipulated.

This sling has to be the best 2-point I have ever used. I was introduced to it when I was a PVT., and now over 4 years later, I still use it. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Great product at a decent price. Really like the fit of this sling on my Arsenal AK

The VTAC Wide Padded Sling has been a great addition to my M4 carbines. Have used them for many months. Easy to use and adjust. Slings the M4 in front and stays where I want it in comfort for hours at a time. Highest recommendation.

I have found that this sling delivers on all points. It's very well built, sturdy, easy to adjust and extremely comfortable. I would have no problem buying another of these for a second long gun.

In Kyle's YouTube video he has shortened the end attached to the buttstock so the padded portion is always on the neck. I remove the padded portion of the sling and remove the VTac label from the shorter end. I cut off a few inches of webbing off the shorter end so the pad ends up about 2" from the button swivel attached to my Magpul CTR. I also trim a few inches of webbing off the end that attaches to the front swivel. There are two plastic adjusters at each point which I reduce to one to reduce bulkiness. Two are used for redundancy should one break, but my application is urban so my concern is lessened. Ideally the adjusters would be metal, anodized aluminum or phosphated steel, which would give the ultimate in reliability and reduce the number of sliders. The end result of these mods is the sliding mechanism isn't so high in the armpit and the padded section is always on your neck even with full armor. I have two of these and am very pleased with the product!
