Blue Force Vickers sling or the Magpul equivalent for the MWS.
Ferro slingster or Spiritus systems for the 2 smaller ones and maybe a vickers padded for the lmt
Blue Force has got 30% off going right now... I just picked up another one.
i use the blue force in 2 & 3 gun, nothing fancy, zero issues.

I've used many slings and these have been my favorite.
I recently tried some Flatline Fiber slings on my friend's rifle and I enjoyed those as well. I will probably pick one up to spend some more time with it. The padded one might be a good choice for the LMT.
The ESD has built in retention which is a nice feature.

Vicker's Combat Applications Sling (VCAS) by Blue Force Gear. Padded is an option, as is metal hardware.
I use the Blue Force Gear VCAS sling on my 5.56 carbines for the most part and my heavier SPR or bolt guns get an Armageddon Gear PRS.
Thanks for all the replies. Will check them and get some tomorrow. Much appreciated
If you happen to know people with some or a store that carriers them it would be best. Some slings I've tried I flat out hated.
Here comes the contrarian opinion. If you don't need to pull the rifle closely into your body, the sling does not matter much so almost anything will do like a one point. If you use the sling to brace yourself when you shoot or you need it tight to your body because you are climbing something (for instance) get a two point. If you want to split the difference, get a combo sling that is either one point or two point. There is very little difference from brand to brand and they are almost generic.
I personally prefer two point because I have slung the rifle with a one point sling and hit myself in the junk.
I have a Botach padded quick adjust for one my AR-10s, that particular one has a heavy barrel on it plus a Gen 2 Vortex. Its short bu heavy, the sling is a little longer than I would like in its shortest setting but it works. It would be better on a full sized rifle. But I do like the padding on it plus it didn’t break the piggy bank either….

The arbor arms sling is my new go-to....no tail, nice loop to pull, cam to tighten the rifle to the body if needed....
