August, I'm going to have to agree with the others...I even asked you to change you font colors when you first posted as well.
As far as Oneyeopn, I don't know if you noticed that eagle, globe and anchor icon by his name, but that is a clue that the man knows his way around a rifle. I think you should go look at some of his postings, especially the ones where he has posted his targets and video of him shooting. Oneyeopn doesn't always use the most expensive of equipment, but he gets consistent results. It goes to show that it is the indian, not the arrow.
I do agree with you that a well made sling is important if you are going to carry the rifle on a sling. However, I have not seen the sling that Grover purchased, so I can not comment on the quality. He did state that if he was "running and gunning" he might choose a different one, but for general carry and slinging up, it works for his use. If it was garbage, Grover would tell you that as well, so that you don't waste your money. I can tell you though that many folks dismissed the M&P 15 Sport based on price, but again, look at the results a rifleman can achieve.
