[QUOTE="LRT, post: 478207, member: 31544"] I use the Dana Design Astraplane. I bought mine new maybe 15years ago and love it, it was very pricy then and still keeps its value with the cult like folling they have now. I really like the way it carries weight and the layout. 80LBS feels like nothing and I have to be careful not to overload it. The suspension system is just really that good. Most of my pack hunting is Deer so it will pack out the meat easily and has a great compression system for when your not loaded down. Bad thing is its huge! Its made as an expedtion pack and without a carcass its rather over sized I found the best way to carry the rifle was attached to the pack vertical with cobra buckles. Its pretty fast to relese and I can do it without taking the pack off. I normally carry my .44 across my chest in case I wonder across a bear or other ill tempered critter. I am going to try a mystery ranch for a smaller pack at some point. I have been wanting to try them since danas closing although you can still find the old Danas on ebay pretty easy in the $300-400.00 range. [/QUOTE]
