I like the idea of a scrabbard, but not sure I would use it enough to justify another pack. I have an early Hunters Element pack that rifle can be attached too, and the empty pack only weights 1.2kg
I've hunted with a couple of mates with these eberlestock pack, but really see them used to carry a rifle. If I did, it would be the X1E model for a daypack at 2.4kg for a 32lt.
Trying to reduce the amount of gear I don't use at the moment, not buy more.
You don't shoot shit with the gun like that.
eberlestock packs are awesome very well made I have a j34 love it
I can see it being really useful if you have a long walk back from a hut or something, I could have done with something like that walking the Umakarikari the other week, not something I'd use regularly though. @ebf how do you attach your rifle to your pack?
I've got 2 packs with a scabbard - both Markhors and I love it. Depending on where I'm hunting depends on whether I use it or not, but when climbing to the tops it's great, when walking out of somewhere with an animal already in the bag is great - I use mine all the time when I need/want hands free. I'm not sure I would want to have a scabbard where the rifle is barrel down though? - I'm a bit of a clumsy bugga and arse over every now and again and the odd occasion that I've had the bang stick in the scabbard it got a decent hit - I would hate for that to be the crown.
Put a bit of foam at the bottom.Quote:

Looked like a good idea but iirc it was pricey compared to the likes of an eberlestock.

These packs are real nice to use. Very easy to load and unload rifle from scabbard.

Good idea re foam R93. Those vorn hunting packs look good, but I nearly fell off the sofa when I saw the friggin price!!
Very good, I think I will make a few mods to my pack. Cheers :)Quote:

They are fantastic for carrying big guns in open country.
As others have said they are very heavy packs, but built very strong.
No fun in the bush with one on.

You cunts would be the sort to walk along with your rifles slinged. I like that. Easy animals for me.
Hey ebf off-topic but how loud is that pack? I got the Tatonka pack bag like that to go with my Lastenkraxe and it squeaks like forty bastards when it's loaded up, can hardly hear myself think when walking in. It only went quiet when it got heavily rained on. Any tips? I don't wanna biff it as the harness is so good, and it doesn't squeak by itself.
