It looks nice,but it's kinda steep for a sling.I bought three V-tac sings for about the same price,but they don't convert to a single point.If that feature were important to me I think the Magpul sling is a better value.  |

There should be a video demonstrating how it works. |

Expensive or not, it's nice to see a company marketing accessories directly for the XCR. Even if it's not actually specifically designed for the XCR platform, if they market it that way it helps get the ball rolling. The less of a niche market we seem to be, the more options we'll see for offer.

Actually that's a much better deal than it looks initially. It's not just the sling, but also a rail adapter and two push button QD swivels. So it includes all the hardware you need to attach it to the rifle as well. Not bad for $65.
And if you look at their site they do include some demonstration videos, just back up a level.

It may be marketed for the XCR but I don't see how it is exactly XCR specific because it will fit on any weapon with a CTR stock and a QD stud on the front.It's look nice like I said but I don't think it comes with the QD rail mount,if it did I could understand the cost more.It does come with the sling attachment which is nice but the QD swivels I got for $4.95 from Botach and even for 4 of them and two slings it's still only $60.Now I'm not telling anyone how to spend their money,but when you have multiple weapons to sling $65 apiece can add up quickly.The only thing this does the V-tac doesn't is convert to a one point,again not a big deal to me,beside those plastic buckles are a potential failure point,maybe unlikely but Murphy can poke his ugly face into your business at the worst possible times.I'm glad there are companies that are recognizing the market potential for the XCR as well,but this just isn't that specific enough to me to be labeled as an XCR sling.

I agree with the previous post. That sling is not designed for the XCR .
The Photo is Roy's XCR - a member of this Forum.
Has anyone heard from him? How is he doing?

I have standard GI slings on QD (Quick Detach) swivels.
$10 sling
$5 swivels sets.
You pretty much HAVE to use this for Appleseed shoots.
Its about accuracy boys and girls.
