[QUOTE="RockChucker30, post: 856638, member: 68801"] We had a guy take a butt bucket off another pack and add it to our pack. He compressed his rifle with the Talon on the outboard side of the pack bag, but the butt dropped below the pack. That's a pet peeve of mine as well because I've used that system in the past. I like the center of the pack carry, both for weight distribution but also to get the barrel behind your head. If the rifle were between the pack bag and the frame then the barrel would be closer to the head, thus easier to navigate timber and brush. The down side of that is you're adding a potential discomfort spot in your back. I'll throw another question in - what specifically is the difference in a long range hunter's gear vs. me with a Kimber Montana? I assume that it would be a heavier possibly bulkier rifle, maybe a bipod, possibly heavier optics? What are the challenges? Good points so far, keep it coming. I want as many opinions as possible.
