    Decision time... any experience to lend advice?

    So last year I decided to move from a bino harness to a harness/case. I had decided on the badlands bino mag. I ordered it in Dec or Jan and it is still on backorder, but the store has suggested I may prefer the new Mystery Ranch quick draw bino case.

    I have tried the badlands with my binos (vortex talon hd 10x42) and I like it.

    Anyone have experience with mystery ranch's new quick draw case that can draw comparisons between the two? I don't have opportunity to see the mystery ranch pack first.

    The mystery pack is $99 and the sale price on my backordered badlands case is $119, with $20 difference price doesn't really play as a deciding factor

    These packs are supposedly the cats meow.

    I had the original badlands one and then the tactical badlands one...original was by far the best of the three. My buddy has the kuiu harness and it is real nice I might be switching from the Alaska guide to the kuiu

    I have an Alaskan guide and I like it. Nice to have the binos handy. It also holds my wind powder a spare mag and my tags. I guess it could feel a little awkward at first because it is bulky but I can shoot my bow with it no problem. It seems well made and should last a long time.

    I have the MR bino harness. Have only hunted with it for about 5 days but I like it. Also holds my rangefinder which is nice. I have used the Badlands harness in the past, now it collects dust.

    I have had one of the original AlaskaGuide bino harneses for years and the only problem with it is that it is too noisy for bow hunting. Is the MR any better? Like really quiet?
