ATB! Yeah I get what you're saying, but it's like most things of good quality you need/want for the field etc, once you've bought it, that's it. Quote Link to post

There's one. A million times better in my experience and opinion. I've already broken one stock dropping a rifle that was slinged on my shoulder. Lol Regarding fuss, my rifle is in my shoulder in about 3 seconds. The quick release system makes it no less fuss than a normal sling. I always stalk with a small daysack anyway. This has effectively replaced my daysack, sling and bipod all in one and is far more secure. I'm a big fan at the moment. Scotland seems like a brilliant idea though!

Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Not being one to argue mate there is no way you could the rifle out and onto a beast the same as a shouldered rifle .More of a travelling between spots carrier I’d say . Quote Link to post

I respect your experience FD so I'm not being a dick when I say this. Have you seen how these bags work? I'd put a video up if I knew how. There's no significant difference, the bag doesn't even come off my back. Just grab barrel with right hand and simultaneously release it with my left and it's loose. Secure, simple and quick system. It's not simply a bag that has a rifle strapped on. Edited December 26, 2018 by Born Hunter Quote Link to post
Born Hunter 17,763 Posted December 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Lol, just timed myself. Well under 3 seconds. Honestly it's as quick as a sling and wayyyy more secure. Quote Link to post
Born Hunter 17,763 Posted December 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 FYI the bag in action. Quote Link to post

A regular rifle pack wouldn’t be much use to us in the uk. Still, it’s not for everyone but I wasn’t happy with my previous setup and this is just right for me now. Probably should have explained how it works in the first post. 1 Quote Link to post
