I like the Haley Strategic bags but they are never in stock. I'm looking for something that is made to hold a 16" carbine broken down into lower and upper in a backpack format.  I would like it to have enough storage for other stuff too and look like a normal backpack.

What do you guys recommend?

You have to find it on sale or it’s nearly cost prohibitive but GoRuck makes inserts that hold all your firearms in a GR2.

I’d like to get a Cherrybomb from Eberlestock

This

been eyeing the Savior packs

under $80 and seem good

That looks decent. I like that the belt is removable. That's a solid maybe.

I’d like all the Eberlestock packs. I just don’t know why the cherry bomb is so hefty. My g2 gunslinger is like half the weight.

Looks like a camping chair bag, totally discreet

I’ve been down this road for the past few months and have looked at quite a few options.

My requirements are a bit different as I initially started out with a much smaller AR (5” barrel) split into the upper and lower.  I eventually transitioned over to a Sig Rattler and decided I wanted to be able to carry it assembled and loaded, which lead me to Vertx.  They do have a crap ton of options, but none specifically designed around carrying a rifle broken down.  That said, a few strips of Velcro one wrap would work well to secure both the upper and lower as their “concealed carry” compartments are lined with hook Velcro.

The one thing that I’ve noticed with most of these packs is the larger the firearm, the less “discreet” it’s going to appear, IMO.  It may not outwardly scream “firearm”, but with a long, usually more slender pack, there isn’t a huge list of items that someone might be carrying in there.

Guess it really depends on how strictly you want it to be in a “normal backpack” format.  You can go from a fully discreet pack complete with bright “hiking” colors (Vertx), all the way up to an FDE soft sided rifle case (complete with MOLLE and Velcro everywhere) with some shoulder straps sewn on.
