In this video I have the “Short” model. I have used it with both Kuiu and Exo Packs.
I've used my Kifaru Gun Bearer for several seasons now. I too have a longer barrel which puts the muzzle in your field of view. I now have three ways to carry my rifle/backpack combination; over the shoulder, built in backpack rifle sling, and my Kifaru Gun Bearer. When I'm just covering miles, I attach my rifle to my backpack. When I'm in an active zone, I switch to my Kifaru Gun Bearer. Note: Shoulder carry is a pain in the a**. I've gotten use to working around my Kifaru Gun Bearer and my rifle barrel in my face. Its worth the inconvenience because It makes carrying my rifle much easier over long distance all day long. Three things: always make sure the Kifaru quick release buckle is fully and securely snapped shut; never carry your rifle with a live round in the chamber; and always carry your scope behind you tucked under your arm!
Thank you. I had been wondering about that cary system for a while.
You’re welcome.
Good video. I like mine too. I flip the rifle so the scope isn't in my armpit. I have shoulder issues and the bell housing pushes my shoulder out too far. I also like to run the quick release on the top part of the frame on my pack for more of a pack mount when I'm in the steep nasty stuff.
Nice set up. Thanks for shaing.
i was excited buying this a couple yrs ago. great idea and method. but with my back problems it hurt too much
Sorry to hear that. If you don't mind me asking what did you end up switching to?
@@DMOUA_OUTDOORS actually i dont hunt a whole lot. hard sitting and walking. liked the idea of carrying the rifle that way, but my hip socket and si joint were aggrevated. i just went back to switching shoulders. might try that "knob". cant remember where ive seen it. know what im talking about?
Gotcha. I think you’re referring to the frankenstud. Good idea but not for me. I like to be hands free at all times when hiking, climbing, bending, etc... so I stuck with the kifaru.
@@DMOUA_OUTDOORS thats cool. wish it woulda worked for me. im in colorado, and mountains as well. great system. nice buck!
@@d-arts7139 thank you. Happy Thanksgiving.
Good video wonder how those worked always uses a sling but like this system 🤩
Thanks for sharing your experiences my brother.hehehe love it.and where you get your back pack& your gun cover I need something like you're have brother.
You're welcome. You can get the gun cover from here solohntr.com/product-category/gear/rifle-covers/ and the Exo packs are found here exomtngear.com/
Thanks for posting bro. I was interested.
You’re welcome.
Considering this solution to carry my 6.5 and AR to/from my car to the range. Thought about a rolling solution, but putting two of these on my pack would seem straightforward. Any thoughts or recommendations? Thanks in advance.
I’ve never tried running two at the same time but it might work for a short distance. Why not just strap one rifle to the back of your pack?
I know I need something different. I really get worn out carrying my rifle while hunting. My gun strap is not doing the job.
I don't like to tell people what they should get but I think this is a pretty good option. Hands free and still very easy to access. Only downfall as I mentioned in the video is if you have a pretty long barrel then it will definitely get in the way. Not the end of the world for most but can't speak for everyone else.
I'll try it out thank you sir
Is that the long or short version?
Short.
Where do I get this Kifaru Universal Gun Bearer? And my Backpack doesn't have waist belt can I still use it
From their website. No idea if it’ll work without a waist belt. I’ve always ran it the way it was designed to be used and that is with a waist belt. You can ask Kifaru.
Do you recommend any low budget packs?
It really depends on what your intended use of it is for. For backcountry and or the ability to haul heavy loads with it then no. It’s just like everything else, you get what you pay for. If you’re simply doing day hunts in areas where you can drag the whole animal out then yes there are a lot of low budget packs that will suit your needs just fine. Badlands, Tenzing, Eberlestock, etc...
How tall are you? Looking into this set up for my Condor 3 Day Pack.
5’6”
@@DMOUA_OUTDOORS thank you
That looks like it puts your rifle scope/barrel in direct contact with your arm pit. That seems a bit uncomfortable. Was that the case?
It sits slightly lower than the armpit. The rifle and be angled more forward depending how you tighten the top strap.
I have the same EXO 4800. Did you purchase the long or short waist belt?
@@pinmarkretrievers7117 short
@@DMOUA_OUTDOORS thanks!! Appreciate the video
Can you provide a link to purchase?
Google Kifaru Gun Bearer
Is this the long or the short model?
short.
Hey Daniel your latest video says it's privet what's up with that
Sorry it wasn't suppose to be live until Sunday. Upload error.
Ok no worries thank you for letting me know
@@trefallerhighline2152 yup sorry about it. The first 40 people got lucky before I realized it went live lol.
What gun cover is that?
Solo Hunter
Bye the way that is a great system for carrying a rifle have two of thanks to you an your cousin
You're welcome.
I have 32" Baral so I stuck using the sling that is in it 100% switching shoulders plus the stock is light so it is really too heavy and just plane heavy as fu©€
Why such a long barrel for hunting?
@@DMOUA_OUTDOORS it is a Turkish 8mm it shoots really good and I just don't want to make any changes to it .that way I can put it back in it's wall nut stock and back to origanal non numbers matching tho but all parts are terk stamped . If I had ammo and a chance to shoot my 30-06 to get a feel for yardage I would use that one .I have a few in 7.62x39 but I don't want to use them for bear .I'm thinking next year I may invest in a new caliber might do a custom build .the 8mm is a lot to lug around lol
