| Eberlestock has taken all of the outstanding features of the original Gunslinger and built them into a pack that is going to be pretty hard to beat. The new GS05H hunting pack has a framesheet, which gives it a firmer foundation for carrying weight, as well as a fully adjustable shoulder harness. So you can really make it fit you. Among its many features are #10 zippers, a high visibility interior, larger top-cover compartment, removable hip belt, drain holes and cleanout zipper for the scabbard, clips to hold the scabbard tucked inside the pack, a long front vertical strap with a Flex Chassis at its base, and a nifty removable butt cover which lets you completely enclose your gun.
The butt cover is also a great way to protect your gun from the elements. It has a pull-out sleeve which will go all of the way over the optics on a rifle. A great way to hunt in wet weather is to keep your rifle in the pack with the butt cover on it, but leave the control clips undone. Then, if you need your gun, you simply pull it from the pack, shed the butt cover, and you have a clean gun in your hands. The butt cover uses the same "control clips" that are used to keep things corralled in the scabbard on the Gunslinger pack. To attach the cover, you simply point the control clips upward and engage them into the matched buckles on the cover. It works well and it's simple, which is just the way we like it.
You'll also notice copious amounts of webbing attachments. After building their military and law enforcement packs with these panels, Eberlestock realized that they would also be great for hunters. For attaching auxiliary compartments for things like range finders or binoculars, you can use the webbing matrix on the pack.
If you're looking for a really nice hunting daypack that can carry a gun or combinations of guns and fishing rods in its scabbard, and carries a bow with its external compression straps, this pack should serve you very well. Special Forces snipers love this pack, and they can't be wrong!
Made of NT1 Waterproof Microfleece.
