Best bino harness with rangefinder pouch

I need advice on the best bino harness with a rangefinder pouch. I am going to purchase one and would really appreciate any advice on a good one to buy.

I really like my Kuiu, but the side pockets are too small for a smoke bottle, let alone a rangefinder.
The straps are very flat, don't know you're wearing it with a pack on over it.

AGC. Check out the compact model. My sig kilo fits perfect in the front pouch.

i really like mine as well. The only thing I don’t like about it is the straps don’t stay in place. Constantly adjusting them.

Huh that's frustrating...haven't experienced that with mine.  Upgrade to some autolock buckles that will solve the problem.   :tup:

I have the Kuiu with their range finder holder. I like a lot of the features. But with that said, if I were to buy a new one today, it would be the Alaska Guide Creations. By brother runs that one, and I just like the set up of it better. His isn't as compact as mine, but it has more versatility.

Got the AGC and been trying it during spring bear.  Snug with 15x50's.  Side pockets are small, but large enough for my SPOT.  Front pocket plenty big for rangefinder.  GPS on top for easy access.  I do find the gps buttons get bumped less if face down.  Best harness system I've used.  I find I don't need to take it off when I get in truck.

Well I'll throw out something besides the AGC. I have the Muley Freak harness and so far I love it. Very lightweight and low profile, and I like the tether system and the way the lid closes. For my 10x42's and Leica RF it's a perfect fit. Only downside I can see is possible durability issues later on because of the lightweight materials. It came with a rain cover too

Another one to check out:  FHF harness.  You can get an auxiliary rangefinder pouch for it.

Hmmm... I'm in the market too.  I saw the AGC at Scheels in Utah last month and thought about getting it.  I've been using a S5 Lockdown and I like it because it's light and I can work it without taking my eyes off the thing I'm looking at.  No place for a rangefinder though.  All the good comments on the AGC I probably need to take another look.
