Thread: 25-35 litre day packs with scabbard - Recommendations??

Hi all,

I've grown tired of taking my 75L Tatonka Bison on day hunts and I'm looking for something a little lighter and less bulky that can still handle a decent load of meat in the event I get lucky. I have an ancient 25L kathmandu day pack I've been using occasionally but it doesn't have a waist belt and is exceptionally uncomfortable with a load in, and it has literally no attachment points on the outside for carrying any extraneous gear.

What is people's experience with the various offerings around in that size range? I'd prefer something with either an integrated rifle scabbard or the ability to readily fit an accessory one.

Budget is up to $300

Cheers
