[QUOTE="shortshooter, post: 222138, member: 7359"] Here's the secret. Get a pack that FITS. Try it out and weight it down for 45 min to 1hour with sandbags and gear. Walk around and see how it feels. Every body is different and you got to test those packs out. An Kifaru gun bearer or side rifle mount can always be attached to most packs. The big issue is to get a quality good fitting pack. For my body Granite Gear, Osprey, and my old Dana TerraFrame are the best fitting. My Osprey is light tackle for trips and for whitetails. For Elk the Dana TFrame is the best hauler pack I've ever used and it's plainly the best for me. Lastly I have an Kifaru EMR. This is an well made pack with an large capacity. Trouble is that the old Dana does everything it does yet fits me much better. Most packs can use the Kifaru gunbearer and all packs can have a system where an rifle is lashed to them. In the end it's about fit and not gadgets or features. For quality build these days the standard appears to be Mystery Ranch and Kifaru. Both use quality construction and high thread count. They are quality items if you need an hunting pack that can be used for hauling out game. No matter if it's Badlands, Kifaru, Kelty, Granite Gear or whatever. You gotta get dialed in and fit. After that you can put together an rifle hauling system. I am more concerned about construction and fit first, and features later. Just my opinion and others may vary based on their experiance.
