This pack is capable of carrying a long gun by inserting the butt of the rifle into one of the side pockets and securing it with the retention/compression straps.

Applications: Hunting, fishing, camping, bushcraft, exploring, wilderness research, emergency go-bag, etc…

Cons: At eight pounds some might find this pack a bit heavy for its size. This pack can be a bit top heavy if not loaded properly when using the expandable high-rise collar. Also, the water bladders tend to stick out by about 4 inches from the outer sleeves and fit tight. The 70 ounce bladder fits better. The bladder sleeves measure approximately 13 ½ inches tall by 6 ½ inches wide.

This pack is very comfortable, adjustable and capable of carrying heavy loads, but it is not for everyone. The V90 Battleship is the bigger version of this pack coming in at 6100 cubic inches or 99 liters. I hope you find the right pack for you.

Note: I have no opinion or judgement on how heavy or light you make your own backpack. Pack loads and contents are personal preference and I’m sure whatever you choose to carry in your pack will be right for you. Respectfully
