Which Sling For 870p with Swivels?

[Capaholic]

... would like to get your opinion on the nicest/most practical sling for a 870p with Knoxx stock (swivels on both ends). The choices out there seem overwhelming at times.

I purchased a great sling from specter gear. It is US made, very high quality and versatile insofar as different ways to use it. The 870 sling comes with everything you need to mount it. Www.spectergear.com

2 point...adjustable 2 point...or 3 point

Which are you looking for?

You don't generally want a 3 point for a pump gun, as the extra length of sling alongside the action is a recipe for getting tangled up.

There's a lot of discussion over the virtues of 1 point vs 2 point, and it depends on what you're going to be doing with it. I'm a fan of quick-adjust 2 points for general flexibility.

If you want an inexpensive, high quality 2 point quick-adjust sling to try out and see how you like it, you can't go wrong with the Boonie Packer:

Their tactical quick adjust 2 point is $16 shipped, and is the best deal out there in sling-land. It took 3 days for mine to get to me.

Aside from that, the most popular 2 point slings are the VTAC, VCAS, and GS-2P, all of which cost 2-3x as much as the Boonie Packer.
