[QUOTE="Wyodog, post: 864456, member: 51310"] Ok here's my 2 cents worth. For day hunts this year i am using an Eberlestock gunrunner. What i like about this pack is that the rifle is centered on the pack and close to my back. Also i can access the rifle quickly. The rifle is also protected in the scabbard. I think the pack carrys lighter with the rifle close to the boddy. What i dont like so much id the fact that the rifle has to be removed so that i can sit down. I use a different setup for longer trips and i have to lash the file to the side of the pack. I dont mind the side load too much because i put the tripod and spotter on the other side. What i dont like is the fact that i have to remove my pack to get to the rifle. To me the best setup would be a setup that allows for gun removal while wearing the pack and also provide some protection for the rifle. I also feel that the barrel sticking way above my head is worse than the barrel or butt below the pack. My rifle weighs about 10.5 lbs with a bipod attached. [/QUOTE]
