Got the same pack. Like it so far but didn't get anywhere near enough miles with it this year as I wanted

Pretty hard to beat the Metcalf for a do-all pack, especially if you're not going to be doing any extended mountain trips. I'd suggest adding a couple waist belt pockets

Yeah and if I do want to go on any extended trips I can just get a larger bag to put on the frame..
I love mine. Bought in 2018 and put some serious miles on it. Works great as a day pack - 5-7 days in the mountains. It will be a bit tight for 10 days. Food being the only really extra thing you have to bring on a 5 vs 10 day. With the right gear I think I can pull off a 10 day hunt with it.
I bit the bullet as well and have a new metcalf ,now what rain fly / cover are you metcalf veterans using?
Duck tape can fix everything but stupid
Mystery Ranch makes great stuff. I've had a NICE frame and 6500 pack for over a decade and it's still great.
Knowledgeable shooters agree- The 375 Ruger is the NEW KING of all 375 caliber cartridges. ALL HAIL THE NEW KING!
7mm PRC soon to be the most popular cartridge in North America
I got one this year and really like. Did a few 3 nighters and got to fill it up with deer and found that it carries weight really well.
Solid choice BCHoyt! I bought a Metcalf a few years ago off Todbartell and think it's a great pack, high quality material and stitching. Having said that, I was considering selling it this spring as it's become a garage princess. My method of still hunting leaves me within sight or at most a 5-10 minute walk in and off a FSR.. As such, my most use for the pack is as a suitcase of some sort and it's sat in the wall tent or the cabin for 99% of my trips. Shame.
