I have a 7 day backpack hunt booked and need a pack that is 5000ci+ that can carry a rifle. Because of my age and health this will probably be my last backpack hunt. I've been looking at the top brands but don't really want to spend $5-600 for a pack and turn around and sell it next year. I don't want to fight a cheap pack (BTDT) but is there a decent mid price pack that will work in maybe the $250-300 range? Been searching the classifieds and craigslist for a Mystery Ranch, Kuiu or Kifaru, etc. but haven't had any luck yet.
Anybody have an old one cluttering up their garage they will part with?
You pay the freight to you and back, I'll send you one of my Seek Outside Evolution packs to use for that hunt. It sounds like exactly what you need. I think it is 5200 CI. It has the side pockets into which you drop your rifle butt and strap it to the pack. Let me know if that interests you.
