Eberlestock gunslinger as a day pack,
Eberlestock dragonfly as a trip pack,
Done:) check em out next time your down.
Is there anything you don't have? Haha
Cheers brads they look the business
There was an outfit at the Tahr show that had a pack with a quick release rifle scabbard. (sorry, can't remember their handle think is was something like vaud?)
Price was rather off-putting though. I did see a link somewhere, and if I manage to find it I'll post it up.
The Elberlestock packs are cheaper.

Was pretty impressed with them (Vorn). Much lighter than my Eberlestock J34 (which I really like)

Yeah, they looked a pretty neat design. Allow you to keep both hands free and a quick release access to rifle. Beats all those times climbing high and your rifle swings around on your shoulder and smacks you in the face!
I have been lookibg at some badlands packs with rifle scabbard
The old K2 Hunter packs have it.
I picked up a Ridgeline Gunslinger for $50 at my local scout store. Does the job and you cant beat it for value. Not so much as a pocket for your rifle but a couple of slips and velcro to hold it in place.
Plenty of time usa is only next door these days :)
What material are the Vorn packs made out of? Are they made from material that will be quiet in the bush like eberlestock and badlands?
I am also curious as to how fool proof the quick release is for a rifle. Will a smack from the left dislodge the rifle?
i wonder if those quick release set up will quickly release your rifle down a slip when you arnt looking
I went the cheap way and got a tent/canvas shop to sew a pocket at the bottom of each side of my regular pack. The stock sits in the pocket and the regular tightening straps hold it onto either side.
It sits higher than one of those nice fancy packs but it didn't cost much
Hi there, I am the NZ importer and distributor of the Vorn packs, please visits the website, the video pretty much speaks for itself. We sold out of stock at the Tahr show and will be confirming our order on Wednesday to fulfil the preorders we have so far. We are limited to 60 of the 42 litre packs with this order as this is all that are left in Norway. ( the 12-20 litre has completely sold out) The next production run will be October at the earliest. Feel free to contact via the site. REN
Hi Bill, you can rest assured that your valuable weapon and optics will not be compromised in using this pack, Vorn undertook several years of development before the patented this system, they are currently working on a developing a module to be attached to larger packs for the Norwegian armed forces, there will also be a civilian model as well next year. REN
Howdy, yes they are much lighter, around 2.5 kg, the Gunslinger 2 would be a comparable pack but this "Quick Rifle Release" sets the Vorn packs apart from anything else on the market.
The Vorn packs are also made of material that will be quiet in the bush, you are also able to remove your rifle from the pack within 2 seconds very discreetly and quietly, you must unclip the dome on your left shoulder and pull the release mechanism before the rifle can be withdrawn so there is no chance of it accidentally falling out.
The fabric used on the outside of the Vorn packs is an Olive Green twill spun polyester, it is also used by another two Norwegian pack manufacturers Norrona and Bergans. The internal orange material is a urethane coated nylon.
Bit commercial there Ren - how about becoming a sponsor with your own section - see the last grouping on the main forum list
Give him a chance Faregame. He was simply answering the questions posed in this thread - which none of us knew the answer to. It's not exactly directly advertising.
Sam said good things about0to this pack.
I got the j34 after carrying his an seen it on couple of trips away its mint pack, also got the Gunner? 27L with scabbard for day trips light as an works well.

The Vorn QRR operation reminds me a bit of parachute cut-aways... "Hands to the Capewells..." Pity the pack is a bit small.
hi there I've got a vaun and a dragonfly. The Vorn is by far the best pack for a weekend trip. Its very well built and feels really good with a load on. The fast release is simply the best on the market.
A total new concept. Easy to draw out and do those running shots when you least expect it. well worth buying quality.

Yeah, I seen that, thanks Scott. I was wanting a closer look if possible.
got a eberlestock gunslinger, great pack, nice and cofy and has the rifle secured right up against your back keeping the weight nice and central.
The Vorn packs also has the rifle secured up against your back, the optics go in first where they are well protected, the weight is well distributed and no imbalance results. With a Gunslinger the rifle must be drawn out the top of the pack whereas the Vorn patented system that allows you to take the rifle from the side.
the amount of things my rifle gets caught up in while its slung over my shoulder makes me think that something will catch the barrel and cause the rifle to quick release, from using it has that happened rockman?
im sure someone selling it would say no without thinking Ren (no offence) but im wary of salesmans reccomendations
I have the same pack as Konev. I catch the rifle on things all the time. The pocket also fills up with scrub and shit so you need to tape the muzzle to prevent stuff getting stuck up your barrel. Especially after you have fired it. I nearly always forget.
I can whip the rifle out fast enough if needed but I doubt as fast as the one discussed.
However it seems a large price tag just to access the rifle quickly.

Eberlestock,it is a good day pack plenty of room and well made.
Cheers Rob
Has yours got a zip at the bottom of the scabbard to let crap out Rob?
No R93, but having a look at it it would be easy to get one put in. It isn't to bad with the issue with crap getting in. it might be cause my legs are short?????
Cheers Rob
:D A mate has the bigger pack with a zip but I cant remember if he had it done or it come with it as standard. I will see about getting one. You do get a lot of leaf litter and crap down them, crawling thru our bush. I would hate to think what could find their way into them here in OZ.
