Hunting & Fishing Pack same dimensions as Eberlestock Gunrunner but...

[Rodney65]

I really love the dimensions of the Gunrunner pack for hunting. I use the scabbard for a tripod and the top pocket for a game caller. The narrowness makes carrying a slung rifle and moving through thick bush great.

However I find the top loading only with drawstring and flap that attaches to the bottom flap very slow to open and close. You have to dig through or dump out the main compartment to get to anything at the bottom. Also I never use the butt flap. I find myself using the molle for extra pouches not to add more space but just to make things accessible.

I am considering an X1 Euro but don't really need the extra volume I just really like the multiple zip open compartments.

Are there any other comparable sized packs that easily store a tripod but are more compartmentalized with zippered pockets?

I use the lancer tactical scabbard pack for a tacklebox and carry a 22. Its not as quality as eberlestock, but its what youre after size wise.

No experience with that model, but love my kifaru packs and have been using them for 15 years.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will look at that too. Lancer doesn't seem to have a lot of backpacks available right now.

I only need to carry about 20 liters/20 pounds worth of stuff so I'm not looking for anything big, just a pack I can easily stuff a tripod into.
