I fancy an eberlestock pack system. I know a few of us here have them, and would value your opinions on the various types. I dont know which one to go for, but i do know what i want it for. I want a day pack, that will take food, waterproofs, a hydration bladder, and be able to take an AR, but also extend for a 60" .338 rifle, which is heavy.
Any idea,s guy's ? |

I've got a Phantom and it's just about ideal. It should do you too. I had a G4 Operator before but it was too large The Phantom is just about ideal for what you describe and it's how I use mine. Rifle in the back, food, waterproofs and ammo inside and still room for bino's and even a spotting scope. The side pouches are large enough to take a couple of 2L water bottles. I can get my shotgun in the scabbard alongside the rifle, and it will take a bolt gun no problem too. Another choice may be the Gunslinger 2 |

Thanks for all the replies guys.I think i,m fairly sold on the phantom. The problem now being where to get it from. Edgar brothers is listed as the UK supplier, but their rep didn't know what i was talking about when i asked last week. They can be had from midway though.
I seriously doubt anyone wanting to ship such a military specific item of gear out of the states, unless someone knows different ? |

Mine came from Edgars but I believe some others have bought them from Ebay ETA: The one thing I did do was add some external mag pouches to free up a bit of space and make life easier, but that's the beauty of Molle |

Aha...i,ll ring Edgars at some point next week then Mark. Thank you. I thought the rep was wrong. Feel free to do that. But afterwards, contact a certain ebayer I can put you in touch with. He will do it much cheaper and he is willing to be creative with the value declared on the customs label. I too need a shotgun scabbard. When one has invested in a quality shotgun, its only right to ensure its conveyed in a quality bit of kit. |

Just rang Edgar,s . They dont do them. E-bay it is then guys. Thanks everyone for all your help. Didn,t realise so many guys had these packs on here. Have pm'd Agent Chunky with details. The guys you gave me don't have the stock Brian. I think they landed some stock a while back but have had nothing in from Erberlestock for some time. I ordered from them about three months agi and ended up getting a refund because they say they couldn't get the stock. I've waited for nearly three months for the item I'm after but had no luck. I eventually ordered from another store in Arizona who said they had no such problems getting stock from Erberlestock. I think that because the guys on E-Bay were doing to so cheap, they may have pissed off Erberlestock and have had their supply cut. |

I believe you have just taken delivery of another GTG gun that the GTG is refusing to fix for a paying customer who bought the gun from him......am I correct? |

Iv'e had the original gunslinger for about three years now & its doing ok, however the shotgun side scabard is simply not long enough for our UK legal shotguns with their 24" barrels, so dont waste your money unless you want to carry it with the barrel removed, its designed for the shorter entry type models.

Jon Aha, disposing of that scabbard then ?

No no no, gunsock is the way to go That's how we roll in Essex 
Not so, old chap. How we roll in Essex is to have the old 870 with pistol grip (and barrel cut off flush with end of mag tube) jubilee clipped to the drivers door. Just grab, pump, and give them the good news........ 
Preferably shouting "take that you pikey mo-fo" at the same time. |
