Looks like a decent pack Nube. I'll look forward to seeing how it works for double the price of my eberlestock.

Why did I bother with my 2 cents worth?  Really?? You just want to throw another jab out there again eh Darcy.   Just reminds me again of why I don't post much on here anymore.  I think I will go back to to doing that again.  You got to make everything a competition don't you? 

I have narrowed it down to the Timberline XTL top Kifaru and will order it in the next week or 2

Light weight pack and all the pockets I need. 
I found the eberlstock too heavy and I am not fond of the rifle holder. 
I liked the Mystery ranch as well but I like the Timberline the best.

I'd like to actually get all the packs together and do a comparison with them all. Unfortunately I am not sure how a guy would go about doing that without $5000 in extra cash....... But I wouldn't mind getting together with some of the members here for a comparison.....Say near their favorite sheep spot 

So I was able to have a quick look at my new pack, at first glance it looks real nice. Didn't bring it back to work with me tho so I didn't get a chance to test it out or do a real thorough inspection on it. It sure is nice and light tho.... Frame seems nice and rigid, seams looked good, the extras I bought also look nice. I was actually surpirsed the spotting scope pocket has a hard light plastic back on it to hold the shape when you tighten the compression straps.

I will try and do a full break down on the pack when I get off for break up...... Hopefully in a couple weeks.........

Look forward to your report Joe, as that's the pack tha has my intrest out of all of them.

I'll let you test it out if I can tag along to your sheep spot 

These pack threads and sheep threads sure give a guy the itch!! Hope to do this trip again this year if I can!!
2012 opening week trip!! My pack was 70+lbs without my rifle which was 7lbs.
