Spotting scope friendly hunting pack
« on: October 01, 2016, 05:39:21 PM »
I'm looking for a pack that has a padded pocket for my vortex razor hd 20-60x85 spotting scope. I just purchased the sitka bivy 45 and it has the pocket but my scope doesn't even come close to fitting. Is there a pack out there that will fullfill my needs or am I just going to have to strap it to the side of a pack.

Thanks
Shaun White

Instead of buying a whole new pack- maybe just adding a scope pocket may suffice? I have one of these on my SG pack and it fits my Meopta 82mm (straight) with room to spare. It is not padded, but you might be able to add padding if needed. It attaches simply by sliding the horizontal straps through the slots on the back.

Thanks for the help guys. That Eberle stock pack would have my spotting scope hanging out the sides which is my concern. Now that I have spent the big money on optics I just want to protect them. I found the sitka flash 32 pack has the bigger padded pocket I need and has the mesh holsters on both sides so I can attach the tripod on one and the rifle on the other if needed. Those stone glaciers are sure nice.

I bought an inexpensive sewing machine and made my own pack for my scope that attached to my pack. Just FYI.

I carry my spotter in my eberlestock dragonfly and it works absolutely perfect and it's not exposed at all

I have the Sitka flash 20 and it has a padded pocket for a spotter and a divider to house a compact tripod side by side!  :tup:

Mystery Ranch Marshall. The outside pockets fit an 80mm scope and tripod, perfectly.
