Rifle Support

I have hunted with the kifaru Gunbearer. Have one on a Eberlestock and one on a Kifaru. The rifle is instantly available, takes a little getting used to it. I like it and will continue using it. Probably the best for hunting while you're hiking, others may be better for "packing in" your rifle.
 
Check out the Kifaru universal gun bearer. Why? Because it works. YT has a few videos of it.
Which this system can I strap it to side of my pack or do I need to have one hand on it at all times while I am using this set up?
 
I use gunn bear, done 7 miles right up what's in front of me and back.I run mine bit forward, rifles 8 3/4 decked out with 26''
 
This how it rides

Good point. I saw that in the video and thought it might be a little heavy. How heavy is it and does it make a difference in the big picture?
Not an issue for me. Compared to my pack and rifle, the cradle's weight is nothing, but the return on investment is substantial.
 
Has anyone had any luck with the K4 quick release rifle carrier?
 
Well….,.
I have tried SO many different systems. Gun bearer. Hard no. Try scrabbling or something technical with the gun hitting you in the face. Plus trying to glass. No.
V2-V3 system lacks so much in the needs of a TRUE backpack hunter.
I still have not found the right one
I bastardized between all the systems to make something that works. More or less.
I have ideas how to make something work but my days of backpacking are coming to a close
Age and time have come to my door and it's inevitable
Next try is buying a HNT 26 chassis with the folder buttstock. Putting the packing rifle in a compact shorter configuration seems to be the better option now
