Thread: Recomnended Tough Smaller Pack with Rifle Holder?

Hi Folks. What are your recommendations for a tough, smaller Day / Overnight Pack with a well-designed Rifle Holder / Scabbard? 45-50 Litres max.

Weight is critical: I like the Erblestock Packs, but they are too heavy for my liking.

Only NZ backcountry-proven keen Hunter recommendations please.

Thanks

Twineedle Mollyme doesn't get any tougher. Not the best rifle holder but an extra strap fixed that.

Cactus Huntaway with rifle scabbard although I just strap my rifle to the side of the pack with the butt in the side pocket

Why is weight so critical ?

Spika Drover 40L and meat shelf, also takes the bigger 80L on same frame

I was given a Spika Driver 40L for Christmas, I haven't had a chance to use it yet but can say it is well put together. I do like the meat sling between the frame and pack. The rifle sling is centered and carries nicely (around the house anyway). Reasonably basic inside which I like, no fussy bits and pieces, rather only what you need.
