Title: Need help attaching rifle to cabelas hunting pack
Post by: Ajj828 on June 18, 2017, 05:10:37 PM: So I need a way to carry my rifle and my cabelas bag sucks at doing it. I can strap it on with the straps but I don't have something to hold the butt stock of the rifle. I circled the little thing on my back pack in red in my pictures and I'm wondering what this is used for. I'm assuming I can buy something to hold my rifle with and attach it to the bag somehow. Are there any places who sell special devices to hold your rifle against your bag?

Just found this out myself. I think it's $31. Giving it a try this year.

+1, this is the only way to go. The convenience of hands-free and gets the weight off your shoulder on to your hip belt. Unlike other attachments, you're still hunting and can have the gu drawn in about 2 seconds.

I only pack my rifle when not hunting (hiking out after hours) or when done hunting. Any other time I carry in my hands or sling if I need my hands.
When I want to pack my rifle, I place the butt of my rifle in the "water bottle/side pocket" and strap the barrel with a buckled strap attached up high on the side of my X2.
This holds my rifle securely and completely out of the way.
