Thread: Packs with a rifle pocket?

Both are very comfortable to wear, the j34 has a far more adjustable harness though. Rifle holding setup is quite different, I do like that the barrel faces up with the vorn as it lowers the COG a lot, especially if you are carrying a long heavy rifle. I also used to get a scope turret to the back of the head often when boulder hopping (upstream normally) with a long gun in the j34. The open style of the scabbard on the vorn is better in scrub etc as the j34 scabbard fills up with leaves & shit. Flipside is that it offers better protection for the rifle though. Both are a good size for a few days, the bonus of the j34 is that it expands out to a bigger pack which is handy if you want to carry out an animal/head/skin etc..

Hi Claw - what's the quality like on the Vorn compared to the Eberlestock? Is one tougher than the other do you reckon?
