Write your question here...I'm comparing this with a Gregory pack. Reviews of the Red Cloud seem positive. Is there a way to strap a rifle to the pack?

On the 2009 model you can slide a rifle/fishing pole behind the side pockets into the mesh water bottle pockets. When not in use a velcro section closes off that access so you can have extra pockets behind the side pockets perfect for maps or other flat items.

First of all, I have an older model of the Red Cloud, but there are straps that are oriented horizontal or parallel with the ground when wearing the pack. These straps could be used to secure a rifle bag or scabbard to the pack over one of the side pouches. I personally would NOT recommend this. I would suggest a custom sling over strapping to a backpack in most situations. This would prevent damage from force applied to the rifle when strapping the pack, and it would be easier to access.
