No experience with the one you mentioned. But I use the Kifaru gun bearer, on my Exo Mtn pack, for the reasons you stated. Have used it for probably 5 years now and really like it. It carries the gun out in front of you VS the one you mentioned. Check it out :tup:

No experience with the one you asked about, but it looks like a lot of messing around with straps and adjustments.
:twocents:
Good luck

With either one, be wary of the quick release latch releasing on accident sending your rifle to the dirt. Happened to me once and now I just clip my rifle in with the top side buckle on the pack. I have enough dexterity to reach back and unclip it

Ok, to you guys running the Kifaru gun bearer are you running it on Kifaru packs or other? I run a Mystery Ranch Metcalf and have no plans of changing packs. If I go the gun bearer route I want to make sure the universal works just as well.
Yeah I run mine on the Exo mountain. The universal strap wraps around the entire hip belt.
On my new exo K4 I was actually able to thread it thro the new molle they have on the hip belt.
That being said, I never had a problem with it before wrapping around the entire hip belt.

My son uses the gun bearer on his Metcalf. He originally used the universal model that wraps around the belt with no problems. There is an aftermarket sleeve made that slips over the belt with molle webbing that he uses now which works even better. I believe the aftermarket sleeve was made by a member on Rokslide (Pods8).
The gun bearer does take some getting used to, but once you dial it in and get it adjusted to your liking you'll never go back

I think this is the answer to your question.

The FHF sling is awesome check it out
I tried this last year as well and I like it pretty well. No sling is perfect but this one does the job

The universal gun bearer worked great on my exo mountain gear pack, shouldn’t have a problem on a mystery ranch.
