Mystery Ranch took the wraps off their newest NICE<\/a> frame compatible pack that plays nicely with your long gun. The 5000+ cube Shoot Pack gives you sheath-like access to your rifle. It’s got a padded compartment that allows the longest and shortest of rifles to travel close to your pack, keeping the heavier bits of your stowage from fulcruminating (I just made up that word) away from your center of gravity as it would if strapped to the front of your pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The frame is designed so that the protected gun box is sandwiched between 2 semi-rigid frame sheets that protect your back, the gun and the contents of your ruck from each other. Your rifle can stick out of the top and bottom, if it’s that long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
