Not sure why one would carry a rifle like this? The physics of it are asking for trouble.
All of the mass/weight of the scoped barrelled action is unsupported above the straps securing the butt stock to the pack. There is nothing to secure the heaviest part of the rifle to the pack. Therefore there is nothing to keep the rifle fore end and butt stock in the same plane should the rifle fore end get caught up or take any side load during transport. I have two of Kens stocks and have had one of them for 4 years and have no problems with it what so ever. But then I have never tempted fate and tried packing the rifle in that manner without the fore end being strapped down as well.
