Rifle carry system

[swavescatter]

I found the slick sling a bit “busy” for my taste.

What is it that’s so bad about the exo system? I like that the bottom stays on when you rest the butt of the rifle. The top clip is nice and adjustable. It is secured a lot better than many. I used the SG one a ton and while nice, could get a bit floppy. I was able to pack a deer out solo with rifle right on the frame/near my body as Exo intended. Do people really just hate the clip or what am I missing?

I watched the install video half a dozen times but I cannot reach the clip. Maybe it’s a shoulder mobility issue? I essentially have to put the rifle on with the pack off and vice versa. Slik sling is functional at least for me, though not ideal…

I agree the EXO sling system takes shoulder flexibility. I can not reach back far enough to release the upper rifle retaining strap. I modified my old Kifaru strap / rifle carry system and it works very well on my EXO pack.

I have the Kifaru Gun Bearer on my Exo and love it.View attachment 1003085View attachment 1003086View attachment 1003087

Thanks I have a couple of buddies that said they tried to modify but the top section kept coming loose

No problem, it wasn't my idea, someone on here did it and I copied it, works well for me. I have the Teratorn so when not actively hunting I carry the rifle on my pack strapped under the wing.

All good I normally have my rifle strapped in or over my shoulder.. Really liked the original KUIU top strap system guess I will have to call them & see if they still have them

I have an EXO K4, I use both the EXO and Kifaru gun bearer.
If I am packing in somewhere, I use the EXO so it's out of the way. When I am hunting, I have it in the Kifaru.
I like them both, Kifaru more than the EXO.

Its funny I like the EXO top but not so much the bottom.

The bottom drives me insane. Elastic is way too tight, my manners PH is an extremely tight fit. and the top is a pain to get undone with the pack on. I think im going to modify mine with the paracord and QD mentioned above and see of i can snip the elastic on the bottom.

I use the EXO bottom for the cam on my bow. Too tight for a rifle, for me.

I like the top but I have real good shoulder mobility.

Think I may have my wife sew a bottom that is specifically made for the Rokstock. Actually thinking about it she has a little sewing business, mostly selling stuff at farmers markets etc. I wonder if there would be a market for a Rockstok optimized bottom stock holder. May have to play with that this weekend.
