What are we hanging off of it ?
Padded, not padded
Hared working or Showing-off

I prefer the GI web sling for the M1 Garand or M14.  Some people like the canvass/cotton sling and some prefer the nylon.

I don't care which it is, both work for me for shooting.  I really don't use a sling for carrying a rifle as it's hard to hit the target with the gun hanging off my back.

I've tried the leather slings and, for me, they are more for historical correctness than anything else.  I don't use a shooting jacket or gloves and I sweat.  That leather sling sticks to a sweaty arm like sweat was gorilla glue.  After one range trip with the M1917 I got tired of fighting that leather sling up and down my left arm and took it off.  I put a repro Kerr sling on it and it was good to go (you probably don't want a Kerr sling on your rifle, but they look right and work okay on a M1917 bolt action).

I recently bought a magpul two point sling.  Big messy thing with lots of extra webbing and the attachment "hardware" is separate/extra cost and I'm still trying to figure out if I like it on my GII or not.  It may end up in the drawer and an M1 Garand sling might find it's way onto the GII.  I've just got to get the GII into shooting shape again and get back to the range with it.
I just keep wasting time and money on other brands trying to find/make one shoot like my P07 and P09.  What is wrong with me?

I have a Vickers Tactical by Blue Force Gear 2 point sling on my AR. Fully adjustable and hangs across the chest comfortably and makes bringing the rifle into firing position fast and easy.

My ms3 functions primarily as a two point sling because I never clip it in to the adapter . At that point it functions like the ms 1.

I'm so cheap it will scare you - I have two traditional slings, both set me back about $10 a Walmart, work just fine, one with cartridge loops, one without. I use a sling very rarely, though.

I second the Blue Force Gear (BFG) Vickers Combat Applications Sling (VCAS). It offers great flexibility and adjustability. I originally bought a sling on Amazon.com sold by STI but it didn't adjust on my body very easily so I returned it and bought the BFG VCAS and I'm very happy with it.

For years I used the GI web sling, both cotton and nylon (prefer the nylon seat belt material style).  Last few years I have been working with the Viking Tactics sling and really am starting to like it overall.
