Thread: Osprey packs

I've managed to get an Aether 85 from trademe. How is everyone carrying rifle on them?
Using the straps on it or have you added a scabbard? https://www.stoneycreek.co.nz/gun-scabbard.html

I carry mine using the straps on the side. In saying that I don’t like the butt of the rifle hanging below the bottom of the pack, find it a prick when you wanna sit with pack on etc. Prefer it to be longer out the top.

I've got the kifaru rifle carrying system. It's awesome. Can be slung under the armpit for quick access in those spots where an animal can pop up anywhere and can also be set up to be strapped to the side of the bag. I personally prefer the rifle to be slung as low as possible so like it below the pack, I'm pretty much always in or near the Bush though

Osprey packs are great. Offer a fantastic pack for the price if you get it on sale. I have been using a 44L Talon for some time now for light weight over nighters and day hunts above the bush line. It is fantastic, and not at all bad carrying a load of meat out.
