How do you plan to strap your rifle to the pack w/o the bottle holders? I had thought about putting the butt of the rifle in one of the bottle holders.
Did you go w/ a platypus holder inside the pack?
I had Dan make 16" long sewn in side/slot pockets instead of water bottle holders. My thought is that it would hold a spotter and tripod or other things like my small dry bags. I also had him put a set of dasiy chains inside the back of the pack for straping in a load of meat with some g-hooks and webbing kit from HPG. That should keep the meat bag high and in place against my back, keeping my pack stable with the heavy load. I cannot wait to get mine! I am so excited!
