which 2 point sling?

Hey guys - thanks to Obama I am stimulating the American economy

Now I have to decide which 2 point quick adjust sling to get

I have narrowed it down to 3
What are your experiences with the following:

Vickers Blue Force
Viking Tactics MK2
Gear Sector GS2p

I have seen the Viking is able to adjust with one hand without having to unweight the weapon. What about the others?
It also has a free running tail which means one can tighten it all the way.

Thanks for your opinions and help

Well, I looked at those, and went with the LaRue 2-point. I liked the snap retainers and the comfy pad

Easy to change from rifle to rifle, comes complete, plus LaRue stuffs your package with tons of freebies

The Vickers and the Viking are both quick adjustable with one hand without removing the weapon. The Vickers method lets you quick adjust (pull towards armpit) without the long tail of slack sling hanging loose; but limits the range of adjustment. The Viking adjusts in a more convenient direction (IMO) and has more adjustment; but you have the the excess sling dangling freely. Don't know anything about the Gear Sector.
