Yesterday I was looking at various slings, and like gear, from different mfgs, I was surprised at how similar some of them looked, so much so I started to really look hard at the design etc. I began to wonder, if there isn't actually just one or two mfgs. that go around and get other businesses to buy their gear, yet put the business's logo, or tag on it? I'm not talking about the high quality leather slings for hunting rifles, or Tanner slings, but the general category of "tactical" slings. Of course they are slings, first, and would all appear to be similar, but I got the feeling they were more like a chevy and a gmc, or a firebird and a camero type similarity, same plant different name. If this is the case, there seems to be a lot of room for someone in that field to compete. Who would be the winner? All of us that use this type of equipment, as in my experience, competition has the effect of lowering prices and raising quality.
