My highly modified 3,000 cu. in. Camelbak Commander hunting pack can mount a rifle or skis or snowshoes on the sides like the Mystery Ranch pack, but the carry weight is quite lopsided and uncomfortable when carrying a rifle. (Don't ask...)
And then there's the problem of trying to get at the rifle in a hurry with conventional packs.
<span style="color: #FF0000">With the Eberlestock rifle packs ya just pull the rifle up and out while the pack is still on yer back. That's why hunters and military snipers prefer it. </span> </div></div>
With a full pack cinched up for moving through the woods they're not actually that easy to get the rifle out. They're a lot more secure than you would think, and your gun just doesn't pop right out when you need it. </div></div>
I've been around a lot of packs, including Eberlestock, I feel the Mystery Ranch allows you to hold the ENTIRE load tighter to your body which makes it more secure and comfortable... even with a rifle strapped to one side. You can easily balance the load out.
