Kifaru Gun Bearer

[swampthing]

Anyone have experience with the KGB busting brush? Where I primarily hunt it’s over grown as all hell. I strap my rifle to the back of my pack as low as I can but still get yanked back as it it gets caught up on low hanging branches.. any insight on this? Seems it would be cumbersome getting low / crawling???? Thanks fellas

The way the rifle is carried in the gun bearer, it moves with your upper body. As you duck it ducks with you. The barrel sits just to the side of and in front of your face so it weaves in and out with you as well.

Really? Well I appreciate it swamp thing. I’ll be given Kifaru some hard earned cash. Thanks again..

Just picked one of these up. Noticed right away that my rifle's stock rubs against my hip belt. Has anyone had their rifle stock scraped/rubbed up from longer hikes using the bearer?

If you have lower back injuries, I recommend not getting their GunBearer. it ends up creating this mild off-kilter tug on the pack hipbelt that can exacerbate issues for those of us with spinal discs that are just barely hanging on.

I just used mine for the first time this past week. Hunted 4 days and covered around 50 miles... wanted to lose my shit the first day with that thing on my side like they suggest. Very annoying, not good at all for real mountain terrain IMO, it will do nothing but throw you off balance when climbing steep stuff and get in the way/give you a sore chicken wing if ur using trekking poles..

Put it on the back and just used it to hold the butt of my gun and then used the 2 straps on my backpack to hold it in place and I liked it much better !

i'm loving mine.... found another benefit today, using my barrel to glass... not as good as a tripod of course, but much better than off hand when i'm breezing through country and glassing my way through between spots i'm setting up a tripod.

i don't know there's a perfect solution for packing a rifle, but i like what i have enough to not worry about trying other systems.... hell of a lot better than a regular rifle sling, and it's super fast access....
