Tell me what this harness is? Rifle across the chest

Post by mahna » 15 Mar 2014, 7:30 am

I found this through Google image search but the website it was on it broken and I can't find anything extra.

Can't quite make out if this is part of the backpack or an extra bit with the waist strap?

Seems like a good idea (strapping the rifle across your chest) to make carrying it easier for longer distances.

Hanging it over your shoulder for ages is a pain I reckon.

Anyone know what this rig is?

looks like a in front safety carry sling...I wonder how easy it is for the individual carrying it to maneuver the rifler out or swivel it when needed?

edit: this does not really give a example of what it looks like but i think that is something similar http://www.discountfirearmsusa.com/prod ... 9002-1.htm

it swivels when you maneuver your rifle which is a good idea

Looks like he's just added a pair of straps around the shoulder and waist straps of the back pack.

Easy enough to do yourself with any pack.

+1

Buy a pair of adjustable straps for $5 and you've got it.

Personally I wouldn't be paying $60 for some fancy strap to just tie my rifle to my backpack...

Managed to rig something up with some existing straps cut off a crappy old backpack, and tied onto the new pack.

A bit ghetto but is doing the job :)
