Mystery Ranch?

Thanks for the info Andrew, So you are saying I will be able to order a Marshall bag only? Also, was one of your staff misinformed when they told me your lift kit is only available with a nice frame and not sold as a single item?

Mystery Ranch?

This sucks, I was really thinking of selling my 6500 and picking up the Marshall, but thats not going to happen now if they want me to buy a second nice frame. I can't even buy there lift kit for my metcalf bag. I called them a few days ago and asked and was told I needed to buy the entire...

Mystery Ranch?

interesting info. All the top players in the hunting market offer bags solo so I don't understand this move if true. I foresee them loosing a lot more business if they do this. I don't understand the inventory reason for the simple fact they are made in-house and they have direct control of...

Game/meat bags

I have have and use both Caribou and TAG bags and prefer the Caribou. The sewing on the caribou bags is a lot nicer and I find they dry out faster when washing them in the field. the only issue I have with the caribou bags is the draw cord tends to fray easily causing the cord lock to jam up...

Mystery Ranch?

Hey, does anyone know what is going on with MR? They hardly have any NICE frame packs anymore, no lift kits, no buying a pack without the frame, No Marshall 6600? Are they planning on something big to come out or are they too focused on there military contracts?

The pack dilemma is over

Your going to love the metcalf. It's a bomber setup that is going to last you a long long time. I get the itch now and then to lighten the load from my MR packs, but at the end of the day I always fall back on the durability and comfort of the MR system.

not very impressive. just looks like a stripped down 6500. I think the metcalf is the best thing they are offering right now.

Recommendations for New Pack?

I really think you only have 4 real options for solid multi use hunting packs. MR NICE. you can start off with a longbow/metcalf and upgrade to a larger bag if needed down the road. Kifaru bikini with any one of there smaller bags SG solo and up it to a larger bag down the road Kuiu ultra...

Mystery Ranch?

Can you give a guess at a timeline? I heard about the marshall a year ago and was told by MR staff that I would be able to buy one in Aug. of 2014.... didn't happen. As others have said why wait on a mystery when SG has a hardcore tough pack right at the 4 pound mark. If I remember right Kurt...

that is pretty disappointing. I thought for sure they were going to come up with something to compete with SG, kuiu, and kifaru. MR is going to continue to loose the hunting market. I love their stuff, but when you have other high end packs in the 4 pound range pretty hard to justify buying an...

New Mystery Ranch Packs

any info out of the MR camp? Have to say SG is looking better and better these days! I want to stick with an MR pack, but dropping 5lbs by going with a SG seems pretty tempting.

New Mystery Ranch Packs

I have to say I am not that impressed with the new metcalf. I just weighed mine and the bag, nice frame, and daypack lid (w/shoulder straps removed) weighs 7 pounds on the nose. Still interested to see what the marshall is going to look like.
