Badland Packs, Baddest a$$ packs on the Market

I've read alot of good things about those Mystery Ranch packs as well.

Just ordered a J104 and had in next day aired for Monday.  Compared it to the gunslinger, and thought it was a better overall, quieter pack.  It barely accepts the rifle with bipod, but I was able to get it out rather quick.  Now I guess I'll have to wait and see if it holds up and handles the pack out weight.

I have a Low-Alpine that I use in rifle season, when I don't need camo. It is definately more comfortable than my Badlands packs, especially when they are full of meat on the way out. It is a 6000 cubic inch internal frame pack. Badlands are nice packs, I will always have one, but I don't think they are perfect yet.

My biggest problem with packs is quietness.  NONE are quiet enough for me.  The closest I've found other than a 100% fleece backpack, is the Nimrod  pack system.  I really like mine, but as far as packing weight with it, it is miserable...even with they're internal frame system.  Someday a company will produce the ultimate all-around pack.......................I'll be waiting!
