Any recommendations on a daypack with an internal compartment for a full size scoped rifle and side or center straps for a standard sized tripod. I've been looking at the Eberlestock X1A3 and the Gunrunner, that's all the size I need. Are there other packs I should look at?
 
I have the Eberlestock X1a3 and it works for what you are looking for. I put my tripod head down in one of the outside side pockets and use the compression strap to hold it in place. I also have a Gunslinger 2 which is a little bigger. It has a a bigger scabbard and can hold a Christensen Arms MPR with a nightforce scope without issue.
If you haven't used one of these before the only thing I would say to consider is that when you have your rifle in the scabbard it sits in the center of your back so you can't sit down and glass or rest without taking off your pack or puling your rifle out. You can use them with the bottom part of the scabbard rolled and tucked up but this makes your rifle stick out of the top and isn't that secure.
