Yes it does there is a zippered compartment with a hanger inside for your bladder, also the rifle carrier is pretty slick it holds your rifle really tight and you know how when you attach your rifle to a pack it always seems to unbalance your pack and you can really notice its there but with this system you can tell there's extra weight but it does not feel un balanced at all. So far after a couple of hikes I really like this pack.
