Give me a Pintler for day hunts and a Metcalf for overnights - or just a Metcalf for everything - and that’s the best all-around pack there is. You can buy the Pintler bag alone and switch out your Metcalf(or other bag) with the MR frame. I was thinking the Marshall looks more better but the Pintler is working fine for me.

Friend I was hunting with this weekend had a pintler. I strapped her rifle in/on the side and it did not have enough side straps to really tightly secure the rifle. After seeing that, I was glad I went with the SG. Otherwise the pintler was pretty nice

I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

Wife has a Metcalf 50. It's a cool rig. I just traded a MR 3DAP to a friend for an early Marshall (pre "MT" Guidelight) and gave my 6500 bag to another friend who has a NICE frame.
If it fits your capacity needs, the Metcalf is nimble. I admit, I'm a gear whore, and my kids (college sophomore daughter, HS Freshman Life Scout son) are well set. I bought my first Kifaru about 13 years ago, MR designs are great, HPG too.
Metcalf 50 is a pretty sweet not too big pack that with the meat shelf can carry Marshall/6500 sized loads. I've grown past that (mostly), but, options are good...
