I'd appreciate some feedback on a rifle carry solution we've been working on. I've been testing this extensively over the fall season and am really impressed. Most recently I've been using it to carry two slung rifles while predator hunting. Even with two rifles bushwhacking, steep hillsides, fence crossing, etc are not a problem.
The Gunhook is a 0.4 oz carbon fiber frame extension that allows you to carry a slung rifle securely over the top of the backpack frame. This system has several advantages:
- Fast access
- Rifle weight is carried by the backpack frame and transferred to the hips
- Rifle can be accessed and replaced while wearing the pack
- Security - scrambling, climbing are no problem
- Hands free for trekking poles, or climbing
- Comfortable
- Detachable from frame - use it when you need it, leave at home when you don't
