Title: Kuiu pack question
Post by: Falcon on November 18, 2015, 07:09:50 AM: I am really excited about buying the Icon Pro 1850.
Thinking about getting the rifle carrier.

Anyone have any opinions on that accessory?

Thanks
Bryan

U can switch the bags out in case you need a bigger one for long trips. Check out the Kifaru Gun Bearer also. It attaches nicely to the icon pro and I'll never go back to using a sling on my rifle. You can get your rifle to your shoulder just as fast or faster.

Too many years on the bench press. I use it some of the time when I need hands free or when I'm in rough terrain and need both hands free to scramble.
