Lol Mike, back in the old days, original gs, gs2, xl lodrag, ran the MR 3 day assault, great bag that I used for 5 or 6 years. Bought the MR pintler last year, great bag, plenty of internal pockets, not too big that you are carrying crap, full frame, change bags when hunting. Marty

Been testing the 2 day assault from Mystery Ranch. Loving it for ruck matches like Competition Dynamics. Will be using it in this up coming match. So far holding up great, comfy, easy to get into even at the bottom with its trifold and rip open design. Caveat is no dedicated hydration hose opening.

[@u8rooster191]

You just sold me on a Eberlestock Highspeed. I was looking at Kifaru, but you bring up a good point of supporting those who support you.

[@mtnman1]

I have an Eberlestock Terminator and an Eberlestock X2 and I’m about to pick up a Eberlestock M5 RMEF. Absolutely can not go wrong with Eberlestock.

[@Roddy556]

Would it be good for a longer tripod?

[@travissmith8132]

With the X31 Lo Drag, the scabbard is used for additional storage and is very useful for that purpose. I put my rain suit in the main bottom of it and it stays there until it's needed. I also put my bino case in the scabbard as well. Works very good to store those types of items. The rifle never sees the scabbard. It's a very nice pack for matches. Also have the Mystery Ranch 3 Day Assault, which is a very nice pack as well. One thing I do not like about the Mystery Ranch is unlike the X31, there is only one useable strap to secure my tripod to the side of the pack with the legs inside the side pouch. The X31 carries a tripod much better on the side with the ability of having two useable straps instead of one like the 3 Day Assault. Both are excellent packs. If the Fac Trac was just a little smaller, I think it would be the ideal pack. Thanks for your videos as well.....

The X1 Euro is the sweet spot for me. My tripod with the Kopfjager reaper attached fits perfectly along with a fortune cookie support bag and other force multipliers….lickies and chewies. All deer stand essentials!!

[@wvlongshooter3912]

Great content!! When it comes to carrying lots of weight over rough terrain for long distances, the mystery ranch military overload pack is awesome. I had taller load lifters added and the pack fitted to me by mystery ranch. I don’t shoot prs but I have to carry lots of weight along with a 22 pound rifle for many miles at time. This pack carry’s a heavy weapon better than any other pack I’ve used. If someone comes out with another brand that will do this I will buy it and try it out. I’ve experienced eberlestock packs and many others but when one gets 60 plus pounds and a heavy rifle in a pack and one travels extreme distances one will see that all packs aren’t created equal. Adjustable load lifters are extremely important for heavy loads and having the pack fit you well is very important as you already know. I hope you do a follow up when you try out more packs, thank you very much!!!!

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@Roddy556]

Really good reviews. Some people seem scared to point out the cons as well as the pros.

[@hughtanner208]

Thank you. Looking for these very items as we prepare for Mammoth Sniper.

I understand your pain. I’ve not yet found the perfect PRS and field match backpack.

[@holdleftedgeandsendit9351]

eberly stock upranger is been my favorite so far

[@longrangewiththelillys1221]

It’s definitely one of my favorites so far.

​@@longrangewiththelillys1221 Yo buddy!!! Have you any insight on the UpRunner bag. I'm seeing more and more at matches but I hadn't asked anyone how the like it

[@brianlopina991]

Had a hi-speed 2 for a while and it’s a good pack. Slightly prefer the mystery ranch 3-day.

Another vote for Fehu Outdoors.

[@josephandrews8168]

LOL I was expecting shooting bags like Game Changers, Weibad, etc. When you pulled up that Eblerlestock, I was so confused, lol

[@longrangewiththelillys1221]

Lol sorry about that!

[@josephandrews8168]

@@longrangewiththelillys1221 No problem. Great video. I've also struggled to find the perfect bag, and I haven't loved most of my options. Structure vs features vs size etc. It's a hard one, lol

[@farmerwayne1404]

Good stuff! Im thinking Lou Ferrigno meets The Rock...

[@JayPaulGaming]

I don’t even have a backpack yet, I just lug around a little shoulder sack with the little bit I have and try to do my best. I’ll get one someday, probably have to win a match and get it off the prize table at the rate I’m going tho. 😂

Where did you get the velcro kestrel and mag pouch you had for the Upranger?

I bought a molle velcro panel and then attached the kestrel and mag pouch

Hey, so after months of use what do you think about the eberlestock x31? I am hesitating with upranger... so wanted your feedback after months of use and abuse lol. Thanks for sharing info

[@longrangewiththelillys1221]

They’re both great bags. Both have held up well. I did sell the upranger though just because of how it fit.

[@norbertipsc3777]

@@longrangewiththelillys1221 Last question, thanks for your answer by the way, any feedback between X31 (or X41) and Mystery ranch like 3 days (or another?) ?

[@longrangewiththelillys1221]

I haven’t had any recent experience with MR. The “Pintler” is on a short list to try.

[@jamesscriver6862]

Will a shotgun scabbard Mount to the side of the pack for your tripod?

[@longrangewiththelillys1221]

Eberlestock has some really great add-ons for their bags. Some have MOLLE for things like a scabbard and some have loops you can add a cinch strap to. Kili uses the cinch strap on one of her bags to secure her tripod.

[@ohiodragndime]

What bag is on the gray ops plate ??

[@longrangewiththelillys1221]

Armageddon gear makes it. Works great.

[@carllarsson8020]

not a fan of scabbard packs? love my gunslinger g2

[@longrangewiththelillys1221]

No just for how they ride when empty

[@rcpapa3495]

Pull the 2 compression straps tight on each side of the pack and it won’t wobble , flop around

[@rcpapa3495]

That’s why they’re there Timmy
