    Re: Rifle Carry Question

    I use a Magpul RLS 1-1/4” sling. https://www.cabelas.ca/product/125941/magpul-rls-sling. It’s light weight, simple and cheap. You can also you it as a shooting aid.https://artoftherifle.com/using-the-...ssential-sling
    I mostly carry my rifle in my hand.

    Kifaru gun bearer is my go to. Allows for quick access to the rifle while leaving your hands completely free for trekking poles or scrambling up steep stuff. It took a bit of tinkering with the setup until I was content with the position under my arm

This is for a couple hour morning hunt or a full day jaunt...same either way.
    Love my SG but having to take the pack off to re-attach the gun is more than a pain.

    Have you guys tried taking the top strap off the SG setup and wrapping it around the loop in your shoulder strap and running the rifle in front carry like the Gun Bearer?

    I've run the SG bottom and Kiraru top piece but depending on the type of hunting, open terrain, it's nice not to have the barrel in your face. I've now got the Creative Outdoors rifle sling and it seems to be the best of both worlds.

    Interesting. I do the same as you did before. I run mine behind the shoulder or infront depending on terrain and distance etc. The barrel never really bothered me much.

    That sling is an interesting design

    Hey Whit, you wouldn't happen to have a picture of this in both positions on your Exo, really curious as i too have been struggling with this issue.
