I've rebuilt my 10/22 Takedown with a TacSol barrel, MagPul BackPacker stock, Volquartsen internals and other goodies. My intent was to have a lightweight rifle (3.4 lbs unloaded) for competition, hunting and backpacking.
Until a few weeks ago I had not put a sling on it, nor had I installed any QD sockets in the provided slots in the Backpacker stock. I finally got around to ordering those and installing.
I thought I was done at that point. Thinking that the sling would give me that ability to carry a compact package alongside my pack.
Well a couple days ago I acquired a couple extra QD swivels in a trade and got an idea. I attached the swivels to my pack and now can attach the rifle directly to the pack, sling removed and placed in pack of course.
Here is how it turned out. I think it'll go to the deer stand with me tomorrow to pop a few unruly squirrels late morning.
