Do you have one? If yes how do you rate it?

If they're, comfy, bomb proof and can fit a scabbard that might fit the bill.

I have used one for the last 5 years. They are bomb proof and relatively comfortable as long as you pack them right (applies to any frameless pack). Advantage of having kit in molle pouches means you can secure them to outside once you shoot an animal to create heaps of room for meat. Scabbard is okay, is located at the back as a flap that drops down.. I find myself using the scabbard flap more to secure back legs or aninal heads more than holding a rifle.
Can be a little uncomfortable to wear when full of meat, but that is the downside of a soft frame pack too.
I now use a Kuiu Pro pack system for my primary day bag & hunting pack, but still often grab the MollyMe for quick day or evening hunts.

I have had one of these packs too. Wickedly good pack, bullet proof, great harness and can carry heavy loads really well. Only reason i jumped to the MollyMe was that the Markhor didn't collapse down well to put into my main 90L pack.

I have one of these and really rate it. Very comfortable carry. Nice soft material so doesn’t make noise in the bush. My only gripe is that I find my lower back very quickly gets drenched with sweat. I do sweat a lot though, so that’s probably just me haha.

Thanks for that.

I actually looked at that one on trademe but decided that it was probably too big for tight bush hunting and had too much overlap with the 75L Tatonka. Good value, agreed. If I didn't have the Tatonka (which I won from a FB competition the distributor was running) I would probably have ended up something like that Markhor, since most of my Ruahine hunts tend to be overnighters, not extended trips and I often have a fair bit of free space in the Tatonka.
