    Hey guys just wondering if I could get a recommendation a decent sling for my TAC20 (pic below). Haven't ever really looked into slings, so I'm not really sure what would be a good fit for it or not any ideas?....

    I prefer a CW/English 3 point--the utility of the 2 point and the stability of the GI web sling (admittedly a compromise). Easy and instant.

    This morning I worked with a Rhodesian sling a bunch. Also easy and instant. I use the ones from Andy in New Hampshire, wicked good there, palie.:D

    Oh, almost forgot the Ching sling.

    Canadian Bisley 2 point target sling (which was demonstrated to Jeff Cooper in Central America by Carlos Widman and Cooper named it the "CW sling" in his honor--thus the CW sling, the British 3 point system and the Bisely 2 point target sling are all the same thing):

    What is the purpose of your sling? If you are intending to use it as a supportive shooting to aid to increase your stability, the choices mentioned would be a good idea.

    If it's for carrying it, or keeping it ready for immediate use, you'd be better served by something like a Viking Tactics VTAC sling or a Vickers slings from Blue Force Gear. Both can be used as a supportive sling as well, but that is a secondary purpose.
