The pack is awesome, I'm excited to use it.

This pack is fantastic! It boasts numerous compartments and plenty of space. I especially love the rifle holder!

The pack offers excellent quality, and it's worth the price you pay.

This pack is the most exceptional one I've ever owned. While I've tried mystery ranches and other brands, I find the operator pack much easier to adjust to fit my body perfectly. The quality is excellent, and its size makes it incredibly adaptable. It distributes weight well and reduces fatigue. Overall, I am very impressed with this pack.

This has been something I've eagerly anticipated for a while. It has numerous sections to accommodate my specific packing needs. The upper compartments are easily reachable, and it feels very comfortable when carrying a rifle.

The Gunslinger II is noticeably smaller than this one. The improved shoulder harness and waist belt come with additional padding, which I find very helpful. It has expandable side pockets and offers a generous amount of space. This has become my preferred choice.

This backpack is incredibly spacious and versatile. Although I'm not part of the military, I have used this pack extensively for long hikes in the mountains, especially when carrying a Barrett MRAD rifle chambered in .338 Lapua during hunting trips. The sturdy frame of the pack effectively distributes the weight evenly across the midsection, adding to its comfort and usability. It has ample space to accommodate essential items such as a first aid kit, a Katadyn water filter, a compact camping pillow, a roll-up sleeping mat, a tent, as well as a few MREs for sustenance during our hunting and hiking expeditions - essentially everything required for a successful trip. Additionally, it includes a waterproof cover that conveniently stows in the bottom of the pack.

I absolutely adore this pack! It's adjustable in every way and incredibly comfortable. It's worth every penny. The shoulder straps are both durable and comfy, the chest strap can be adjusted to your preferred height across the chest, and the waist belt is also adjustable to your liking. The side pockets and sleeves are convenient, and the sides can be unzipped to expand the storage area. The rifle scabbard can be easily extended or put away and fits most rifles, from a small .22 to a full-sized 24" barreled rifle. You can't go wrong with this pack. I've owned it for about 3 months and have carried some weight in it. 60 pounds feels like 30! I'm a very active hiker and camper and have used this pack every weekend for the past few months. It's a bit pricey, but you won't regret purchasing this pack.

I've been using this pack for a year now, and have brought it along on multiple overnight trips in the white mountain wilderness area north of Ruidoso, NM. It accommodates all my essentials and even extra gear for a 2 to 4-night trip if there's a water source. I carry two Source 3-liter bladders, one in each long outside pouch. The Elite Survival Recon 3 sleeping bag goes into the bottom sleeping bag compartment, leaving enough space for an inflatable pillow, pillowcase, two pairs of socks, a couple of microfiber rags, and thin wool thermal top and bottom. The main compartment easily fits my inflatable mattress (Thermarest Neoair Xtherm xl), Primus backpacking stove, 2 propane cans, dehydrated food for 3 or 4 days, a collapsible Alite camp chair, a 1-quart Nalgene bottle, fire kit, Sawyer Mini water filter with syringe, an extra 1-liter bladder, and more. The downside is that it's extremely heavy with all of that gear, and when I add six 30-round AR-15 mags (fully loaded) and an AR-15 in the rifle scabbard, it probably weighs around 95 pounds! However, it's incredibly durable, which justifies the added pack weight. In my opinion, it's well worth the investment.

I was initially doubtful about purchasing this backpack, mainly due to its price. After researching and trying on numerous bags at different stores, I finally gave in to my curiosity and the positive reviews here on Amazon. I must say that this backpack is precisely what I was looking for. It easily accommodated all the necessities for my extended outdoor trips, including my AR10, extra magazines, ammunition, various gear, and food, with room to spare. While I would typically nitpick about the price, in all honesty, I believe it is worth every penny and I am satisfied with my purchase. The backpack is highly adjustable, well-padded, offers excellent lumbar support, and is well-balanced. It's the only backpack I've tried that allows me to walk normally and comfortably.
