For 2 point slings and if you want to DIY it to a convertible 2-3 point the Blue force gear vickers sling is the best IMO.

Magpul MS3 sling is better than the MS2 but I found that the sling is not comfortable as the strapping is 1", not so much a problem if you are running a plate carrier or enough kit so that sling doesn't dig into your shoulders or ribs. My other gripe is that the Gator jaw is actually a dog leash claw and it is difficult to manipulate the lock on the claw with or without gloves, and the lock has a tendency to get itself stuck in the locked position.

DO NOT BUY THE MS2 If you can get your hands on the MS3.

The heavier duty furniture is worth it. I had magpul send me a replacement MS2 when the mount for the gator jaw broke while on a course. Everyone else on that course was running Blue force gear slings (I should have listened to those guys on lightfighter) or there own home made solution.

You're going to have to try different sling solutions and find something that works for your body type, how you carry, and use your rifle. If you need to hump your rifle for long walks 2 point is really the best way to go.
