Only one I have not seen in person is the Exo. I will have to find one next time I am in Colorado to compare

The feature that sold me initially (internal rifle compartment for long hikes) is the same feature that will probably push me to upgrade. My rifle has been knocked off zero the past 2 years and taking the rifle in and out can't help. It is nice to be able to keep my rifle out of the elements.
I'm trying to find a pack for an upcoming antelope hunt and I like the idea of the internal rifle storage. What solution are you looking at if you think the internal storage is hard on the scope?
Even 31% off it's still almost $450?? Wowza.Hodor said:
I'm sure I'll be tempted to overpack. I'll let you know in a few months!
Also, camofire has the Mystery Ranch Marshall on this morning. I don't know much about it, but I think it's the one that Randy Newberg uses.

Argh...that's the one I've had my eye on. Pretty sure it is the one Newberg uses...pretty good deal too. I'm not ready to decide. Curse you camofire!!
They've been in the Rock Bottom Deals section of the Bargain Cave basically since Christmas. Never could find pants in my size.arrow said:
Speaking of Cabela's and western on a budget. I always thought Cabela's Microtex series was a good option. It looks like Microtex may have been discontinued though...
I use an XXL dry sack by Snugpak https://www.amazon.com/SnugPak-SN161-BRK-Dri-Sak-Waterproof-Bag/dp/B003SYTEZM/ref=sr_1_6?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1518468192&sr=1-6Todd 02 said:
Thanks for posting the LL Bean pack. What bag do you use with it? Does it distribute the weight to your hips pretty good?
Yep.NRD09 said:
Also regarding Arrow's post...everybody reading this thread, order a 2" buckle for every big pack you have right now, when it arrives, put them in the packs and forget about it. Actually I gave a buckle to a buddy on my hunt in November to replace one that he broke, so I need to order one too. Thanks for the reminder!
