Description
The GBRS Group Second Best Sling, or SBS, is the answer to a simple question: what happens when you take everything unnecessary off a two-point sling and keep only the parts that matter? What you get is a lightweight, adjustable sling that weighs a mere 2.7 ounces, which is roughly half of what most padded slings tip the scales at. GBRS pulled the large metal hardware out of the equation, so there's nothing to bang against your receiver or give away your position when you're moving. This Ranger Green model runs standard 1-inch webbing and is designed to be tuned to your exact body and setup.
What Makes the Second Best Sling Adjust Better Than Most
The SBS carries a long forward lead with 40 inches of travel, plus a 20-inch tail on the back end. Both ends can be trimmed and melted down to fine-tune the overall length, which is a big deal whether you're a bigger guy loaded out in a full plate carrier or running a slick flat-range setup. A single tri-glide on each end keeps the adjustment smooth, and the 4-inch double fold-over pull tab lets you cinch it down fast. If you'd rather run a thumb loop, the pull tab has two center bar tacks you can remove to convert it.
Comfort That Comes From the SBS Neck Pad
The 16-inch minimalist neck pad uses closed-cell Crosslink padding wrapped in a four-way stretch Tweave fabric. The stretch material glides across your neck or the back of your kit without grabbing, and both ends of the pad taper down where they meet the webbing to cut out the snag points that plague chunkier slings. It's enough cushion to carry a heavy carbine comfortably without turning into a bulky pad that gets in your way.
One thing worth knowing up front: the SBS ships without mounting hardware. That's by design, since it lets you run the exact QD swivels, HK clips, or attachment style you prefer, and keeps the weight rock-bottom. Add the right hardware and you can run it as a two-point or convert to single-point, so the sling adapts to just about any weapon setup you throw at it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Second Best Sling come with mounting hardware?
No, the SBS ships without any mounting hardware or QD attachments. This is intentional so you can run the exact swivels or clips your rifle and setup call for, and it keeps the sling down to that 2.7-ounce weight. You'll want to grab a set of QD swivels, HK clips, or your preferred attachment separately.
Can the GBRS Second Best Sling run as a single-point?
Yes. With the right hardware, like GBRS's 2-to-1 point tri-glide, you can convert the SBS from a two-point to a single-point on the fly and back again. That gives you the stability of a two-point for carrying and the maneuverability of a single-point when you need it.
Why are the front and back ends so long?
GBRS left extra length, 40 inches up front and 20 inches on the tail, so the sling fits a wide range of body sizes and gear loadouts. You can trim and melt the webbing down to dial in a precise fit, whether you're running a bulky plate carrier or a stripped-down range rig. Just measure twice before you cut, since there's no going back.
Is the neck pad comfortable enough for heavier rifles?
The 16-inch pad uses closed-cell Crosslink padding under a four-way stretch Tweave cover, which spreads the load and slides smoothly across your neck and kit. It's built to carry a weighted carbine comfortably without the bulk of an oversized pad. The tapered ends also keep it from snagging when you sling the rifle to your back.
