best sling for getting a secure position

Not sure I understand what you are looking for but..Ron Brown or John Weller have served me well..not cheap but last nearly forever

A little more info may help. What rifle and what you intend to use it for will also be of help. I'm interested in this as well so I hope this gets some responses. I need info too.

There are ways to rig a highpower sling so that it isn't that tight around the arm. Google some of the "no pulse" ways to rig it. I also found that the "tourniquet" setting on mine doesn't help accuracy as much as it just keeps it in place for a string of 10 or 20 shots.

I assume you are looking for something that will work for kneeling/sitting or sling supported prone.

I don't think you'll find anything else that would work as well. The match rifle slings have wider loops than the service rifle "military sling" to spread out the pressure over more area.

The Weller sling I have is awesome, and it will work as a tow rope for your truck or a leash for your pet bison.

You could always set up your tourniquet sling as a speedy sling. If that doesn't work for you, check out a ching sling.

Ching Sling.

Accept no substitutes for a field rifle.

Mainecoon;

You should check out the Turner Saddlery slings. You won't find a better made sling anywhere. They aren't cheap, but I find them to be well worth the price & have several. They're at: www dot turnersling dot com.

You're probably thinking of the USGI web sling. A good 1907 sling doesn't act like a tourniquet. The 1907 is great for target competition (I love my Ron Brown 1907), but I was looking for something quicker to get in and out of when using a scoped bolt rifle and field positions. A Ching sling requires 2 forearm swivel studs, so rather than install a 2nd forearm stud in my otherwise unmolested rifle, I opted for a Tactical Interventions sling. They get great reviews, so I'm interested to see how I'll like it once I get it.

I wasn't too into the idea of a cuff hanging on my sleeve, and potentially having to sew it there, so I went with the Slip Cuff with Quick Release. The standard Slip Cuff looks too bulky to double as a carry strap.

I shoot a Sharps type rifle with a stock too pretty to spoil with drilling sling swivel holes. I made my own sling with soft and thick leather, attached strips of soft leather. The advantage of making your own is you can make it the exact length to fit your shooting style. The disadvantage is that it's not adjustable.

i have severl of these and like them quite well.

For my hunting rifles I have the Galco Ching sling. Andy Langolis also makes a nice one. I use use the simple usgi sling and it works quite well.

I got used to the Ching Sling on my Steyr Scout and chose to use the successor from Galco on my FNH SCAR 17S. Fast and instinctive compared to the slings I was taught to use as a kid. For me a proper sling is a necessity especially shooting offhand.

none better than the military sling...made for a purpose....guess you need to master it.
