He shaved 4 lbs.
off the stock while also strengthening it.
Glen soon found himself producing stocks for fellow competitors and laid the foundation for his new company, Eberlestock.
Eberlestocks website offers numerous options of packs, supporting accessories and technical apparel.
It wasnt long before the crossover appeal between hunting and military became apparent.
The G2 Gunslinger II is a mid-sized pack offering 2,700 cubic inches of space.
This is categorized as a Three-Day pack.
A removable rain cover slips over the exposed portion of the weapon barrel or buttstock.
It not only serves its named purpose but also covers what exactly is being carried from prying eyes.
Do not discount the importance of this in the tactical realm, especially overseas when patrolling into an area.
Weight of the G2 is 6.5 lbs.
The Intex-II increases the G2s stability for heavier load-outs.
The Intex-II frame can be removed or switched out with other Eberlestock internal support products.
Eberlestocks website provides tips for proper fitting of the G2 Gunslinger II or any other pack.
Cinch the waist strap tight, then snug the shoulder straps.
Proper fitting will maximize comfort and endurance in the field.
The 6.5 Creedmoor 2020 Waypoint used in the article features an Evergreen carbon fiber stock and carbon fiber barrel.
The carbon-fiber stock and carbon-wrapped barrel dominates the Waypoints aesthetics as well as ergonomics.
(A fluted stainless steel barrel is available for less cost and more weight.)
The point of using carbon is to achieve a high strength-to-weight ratio; something Glen Eberle would surely appreciate.
You might be wondering if a rifle is easily accessible when in the scabbard of the G2 Gunslinger II.
Simply reach behind your head with either hand and raise the weapon up.
The light weight of the Waypoint allowed for single hand removal from the scabbard.
Heavier/longer weapons may require a hand-over-hand technique.
Your precision rifle can ride in the G2 scabbard with an AR carried by hand, or vice-versa.
The G2 pack can be left on or dropped off depending on range master direction before starting a stage.
The ability to access gear via top or wide front panel is appreciated.
Conclusion
The Eberlestock G2 Gunslinger II is not a tactical sniper only pack.
Nor is it a specialized pack like thebackpacks designed for carrying an AR pistol.
Hunting is a natural option.
A role as a bug out bag is another possible use.
Flexibility is the Eberlestock G2 Gunslinger IIs greatest asset.
