Re: Eberlestock Operator G4M Pack
I have one in coyote. Going to use it for the first time at Raton on Sunday. So dang many pockets, keep trying to figure out what to put where
It is a great quality pack, really looking foward to carrying rifle in pack instead of on sling.

+1 but there's only Molle on the sides. Good enough though.

EDIT - I thought you were talking about using the belt as a rig. I read it quick.

Re: Eberlestock Operator G4M Pack
I bought the Gunslinger 2 from Ceylon, here on the hide. I love the pack. Even with it fully loaded with my junk, 6 litters of water, and a rifle it walks very comfortably.

Re: Eberlestock Operator G4M Pack
The Eberlestock packs are on the short list of things I wish I'd owned when I deployed along with a TAB Cover, Viper Hood, and some form of LRF. I've owned three different Eberlestock packs and used numerous other types while trying to figure how to comfortably pack a rifle and it is by far the best option.

Re: Eberlestock Operator G4M Pack
Just thought I would weigh in here, as I have used both the operator and phantom.
I agree these are the best off the shelf options..
But there are problems with both.
First this is just me but I think they have way to many internal pockets, to the point where if you using the one inside one "bay" you cant use the others on the other side, good to have options, but the more layers of cordura the heavier bag.
the g4 operator.
1st This is a very big day bag, but is still not a ruc. The needs for 72 hour ops ( extra ammo, 9 liters water, food, night-vision, sleeping gear, snivle kit, misc mission essential kit for the det) will not be held in this bag. ( without custom strapping )
2nd, the 2 aluminum rails are hardly a frame. Though they would provide rigidity horizontally the bag still flexes alot.
3rd the bag needed to be cinched down alot to keep it from being floppy, and was provided with straps to do so, but once this happens everything in the bag is compressed against the gun. So now " just pulling out the gun" becomes a chore. Another side effect from this is now the aluminum frame becomes obsolete as the most riged thing in the now compressed beg is the rifle its self, which isnt very comfy, and also not the way I like to treat my gun
The Phantom
Definitely a smaller bag, so great for a short patrol or Day mission. The biggest problem with this bag is that the "bag" attaches the scabbard, and theres no straps to tighten it up. What ends up happening is with a loaded bag, it starts to swish left to righ back and forth on the scabbard.
Once the scabbard is removed its an Ideal bag for a spotter, but when its removed the padding on the shoulders and the velcro for the belt goes with it. Also with out a gun in it the bag is very flimsy.
My solutions to these problems would be use a full frame the length of the bag, to keep everything tight and secure, and even a secondary frame around the gun to alow quick access and to prevent from being squished.
As for the phantom, I think as a day bag it would benefit from the aluminum frames the operator uses, or even the plastic style backing the camelbak bags use.
One option I know guys tried was attaching the scabbard to alice type frame and then the alice bag over the scabbard, it was a feild job, so it still had a few kinks.
Once again, not bashing Eberlestock at all, great product. Nice to see sniper specific kit, just some point to improve on
