The one thing I would look at is a pack that makes carrying a head out a little more user friendly, my thoughts are something with a semi ridged frame.
Cheers Rob

Mine (J34) has a zip in scabbard. Gets full of crap in The scrub. Taping muzzle is a must...Quote:

My only other thought about the Vorn QRR is can you re-stow the rifle without taking the pack off? Possibly not...
gi guys just managed to get back to forum. I have been reading some of the last posts so ill try and answer some of the questions. If someone can tell me how to post some picks on a forum ill give it a go.
As I also have the eberlestock dragon fly I'm well used to the scabbard getting full of rubbish. The Vorn has the rifle the other way around barrel up. That means its never a problem as the stock is held by a strap which lets any rubbish to fall past. It is very easy to roll your shoulder to move through very thick bush. The elberstock is just to slow to use on fast running shots, with the vorn I can pull off fast shots on wallaby's jumping out in front of me. Probably just over one second from pack to shoulder. That means you have to get used to not having to carry your rifle most of the time. After 30 years holing my rifle Takes some getting used.
I now just hold my two walking sticks which is really helping me climb much faster when im tahr hunting.
Yes no problem, just unclip waist belt and let on shoulder strap drop then bring rifle barrel into holder. took a little practise but im now stowing it away in about twenty seconds.
Hopefully I'm taking the pack off and looking for my knife :]
cheers mate.
here are the picks of the holding system, they are much stronger than you may think. there is a lock on the fast release to stop it opening unintentionally. sorry I probably should of made the picks a little smaller in size.
Cheers rockman. It will be interesting to see what military units issue them and what they think. Grunts can f#$k anything. Hence the term Grunt proof.:thumbsup:
Most the us special forces use the eberlstock according to them anyhow.Quote:

I have a Vorn in ChCh at the moment if anyone wants a touchy-feely look at it before buying. PM me.
