I used to use an HPG recon but It did pistol carry better than binos and hunting equipment.
Currently I'm really liking the Sitka mountain optics "chest rig" reminds me of the ol battle racks. For me the best part is all the little extra slot pockets built in.
Main bino pocket has a Bungie and magnet management system I like and has a slot for a lens cloth. On the outside of the pocket there's slots on either side one for my Leatherman charge which does a fair amount of work breaking down deer and pigs and lighter/chapstick in the other slot.
To each side is a Bungie lid pocket and a slot pocket on front of those pockets which holds my RF and archery release in one and the other has my Garmin, wind check, mouth reeds and headlamp.
Chest side zipper pocket holds my license and tags securely. I really dig the level or organization on this set up
