Chest Rig - Gun Carry

[CiK01]

I really like my Alaska Guide Creation binocular harness for its bino protection, but I have not found a way I liked to carry a gun with it. I am starting to think I about transitioning to a Hill People Gear chest rig to carry a gun and figure out a way to carry the binos with it instead.

Anybody use a HPG chest rig and have a way to put binos on it too?

Thanks!

Depending on the size of your binos they could fit inside the kit bag. At times I have worn my bino case right over my kit bag. Not the best, but doable.
Call the folks at HPG and I'm sure they can give you some good options. Might be a good idea to check out their forum as well.
Hope this helps.

HPG makes the Recon KB and their own bino pouch for it.

Check out Razco Gear, Justin puts out a quality holster that attaches to you AGC . Ive got one of his on my FHF bino harnes and absolutely love it. He's also a Rokslide sponsor.

A kenai chest holster with a glock 20 fits pretty comfortably under my AGC classic with 10x42s in it.

I like having the chest holster separate from the harness for those times late at night when nature calls.

HPG for me. It's not very fast but man it's nice. When I'm hiking at night in bear country I unzip it a bit to get it staged in case I need it in a hurry.

It's either that or a thigh rig for me which i like but I seem to be in the minority on that one.

Love my Gunfighters Kenai under my FHF bino harness. Fits perfect.

Looks like it fits pretty good. Is that attached to the FHF or just under it?

The Kenai and FMF bino harness are seperate.

HPG makes a bino pouch. Get the Recon bag with the molle on it and the bino pouch attaches right to the front of it, that’s what I use.

That looks good. I might have to look into that combo.

Recon molle chest pack with bino pouch attached. The molle makes for a great place to clip your range finder and other items like knives, TQs, pens and whatever other small items you may need access to.

I didn't know they had a pouch for binos. That looks like a good way to do this. Thanks!

Just checked out that bino pouch. I didn't know they had that. Definitely an option.

Tried a leather chest rig, made a horrible squeak where the back rubbed against it. Used it once. Too noisy for a bow hunter.

How do you attach the rangefinder to that?

How do you attach the rangefinder to that?

The recon pack has molle (an attachment system) on it which are rows of webbing that allow you to attach various items or pouches that are molle compatible. The range finder just has a belt clip on it so you just clip it to the molle.

Here's my fly fishing dedicated recon kit bag set up. You can see the molle straps better on this one.

I still run a version of this chest rig regularly.

Chest rig for hunting.

I mentioned this in another post and someone asked for pics. I started with an Fhf bino harness and added a range finder pocket. I hand a lot of stuff in my pants pockets and no place to put my phone and gps so I started to play with this idea. The base rig is a blue force gear rack minus...

Prefer my pistol, when I carry one hunting, on my hip. However, I will sometimes run it on the right side of my chest rig where the range find is and run the rangefinder in the gp pouch on the left side.

Glad to see I am not the only one. I looked at chest options but I couldn't get comfortable with the ones I tried. When hunting, its thigh first and pack belt second for me.
