I much prefer some of the REI packs, Exo 3500, and Kifaru. And if price point isn't a concern, Kifaru by a wide margin. A duplex frame and Mag 22 is pretty hard to beat to be used as a day / couple day pack and meat hauler. For extended trips I use the Timberline 1 bag. They are bomb proof.


Agree with all of this. aheider nailed it. I had points on a Cabela's card that I used to by an Eberlestock J107, I got no lift, and the weight sat on my shoulders, not on the belt, and I also didn't like having a rifle sticking between my legs. ( and the Kifaru gun-bearer is WAY better too)
