Gun Sling for Mystery Ranch

[Kren]

Hey Guys,
Got a mountain goat hunt in 6 weeks and i am looking for a hands free gun sling for a Mystery Ranch Metcalf. In the past I've just used either a standard sling or strapped it into a side pocket, but I never feel confident it's going to stay there. and on this hunt i want no doubts about it! I want something totally hands free, quick deploy would be nice but more interested in a rock solid mounting system so when i fall down the mountain the gun stays on the pack rather than shotting me...

Been looking at a few wanted to hear suggestions or maybe ones not to get. Have looked at Kifaru gun Bearer, Stone Glacier Quick release, and Slick sling. Anything i am missing? Seems people love and hate all of them??

Side note if you have one you want to sell LMK, always interested in saving a little money if possible.

I have the Kuiu quick draw, but set it up on my pack like the kifaru gun bearer. I thought I would hate carrying a rifle like that, but for me, I absolutely loved it. I would recommend the gun bearer setup/style carry.

is the sling mystery ranch makes not what your looking for? i havnt personally seen one so not sure but thought it mounted to the pack also. again i may be way wrong

The mystery ranch sling sucks, period. The best one I’ve used is the universal gun bearer from kifaru.

As mentioned already I’d steer away from the mystery ranch route or any other slung over the shoulder design. Your rifle rolls off your shoulder every time you lean forward and is quite a pain to deal with.

Exo has a quick release rifle carrier and has worked pretty well for me. Looks to be similar to the kifaru but ran behind the shoulder.

I’ve not read anything good about mystery ranch sling, hence it not being on the list

The Kifaru Universal Gun Bearer works well on my Mystery Ranch pack. I wasn't sure if could get used to the location and position of a rifle in the Gun Bearer. But after a short time, I have come to prefer it over any other rifle sling. It is truly hands free and deploys very quickly. None of the others that I have tried or researched seem to offer that combination.
