I don’t know too much about Their finish, but in my personal opinion, PVD is superior.
as for the other aspects of it, not sure. All I know is that I have put extreme attention to detail in mine.. can’t speak for the others. They can’t touch my price point either, $138 USD.
Got back from the machine shop today, finalizing the engraved stock positions..
Check out Flatline Fiber Co. They make a non padded & padded sling. Small operation and I believe veteran owned, all hand-made in USA w/ lifetime warranty, free shipping and they have 13 different color patterns to choose. Purpose built, excellent quick-adjust and the padded section is longer & better than any other out there. I own 4 of the padded version in Tropic Multicam w/QD.
