I’ve used one for two years; 2 elk and 2 mule deer hunts in CO. For those hunts I’ve used two different rifles and two different packs. I’ve found that it really holds the rifle against you quite well. The rifle doesn’t swing around or move to an uncomfortable position. It is not coming off unless you want it off, and then it’s pretty easy to get it off. With a heavier rifle it can help to connect the pack chest strap, but there are no real negatives that I’ve found. It really is a better mousetrap.
