maxxis35 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 The Gunslinger is the pack I fancy, however my rifle that it's intended for is 11 inches deep and packs scabbard is 10 in,will the sides give enough to give me the inch I need to get it in.

c18rch Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I've not actually measured mine but, I have a rem 700 with a leupold mk4 on top in an AICS chassis, which is quite a tall set up and it fits in fine. Even with the buttstock folded the folded section fits in too. I will measure the height of mine later to confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHeers for the help, the rifle I wanted the pack for is the Steyr AUG, it has an American Defence one piece mount with the new Bushnell Tactical Elite scope 3-21x50 that has huge turrets on it,didn't think it was that deep.

Lukas_K Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 You should be fine with the AUG as far as the height of the rifle goes - the scabbard is quite forgiving in these dimensions. Only trouble I´v run into is the length - no wiggle room there, if the rifle´s only a little longer, it will be partially exposed bare under the straps. Had to make a sleeve to keep the dirt away.

Rich MAny thanks for that, I did a more accurate measurement over the weekend and mine is just a shade over 10.5 so happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which pack have you got? Mine, and I think most, come with a rain cover. My gunslinger will take my Savage 110 with 27" barrel with the mod on too. This rifle is not far off 60" OAL and although a little top heavy when in, it still fits and is totally covered by the rain cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukas_K Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 @c18rch: Don´t know which exact year, but one of the very first ´slingers. Still holding strong. Doesn´t have any rain cover, only the butt cover. All cordura, very non-stretcheable. My rifle´s just over the length, so the butt cover doesn´t overlap with the pack, they just meet. If I throw the bag around a bit - leaving range in hurry, for example - I usually manage to get quite some dirt in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
