I am 6ft and 195 and I have the 26" inch frame and it fits great. I love my Reckoning, it can do it all and it compresses down very good. I just bought the helllbender for this year and I will be using a camp bag for my 5+ pack ins. I tried the straight jacket last year and ended up going back to the reckoning for other hunts. I agree with others on this thread you really cant go wrong. I have buddies who love their 22/44 mags.
