The Reckoning features some of the best designs from the Timberline, EMRII, and Argali. Changes and improvements were made and incorporated into this pack after rigorous field tests in the hunting and tactical realms. Multiple compression straps along the side and front of the pack work independently, allowing access to the center zip of the main bag without losing compression on the sides of the bag. This feature also allows the addition of a belt pouch to carry a rifle, bow, or spotting scope on the front of the pack. Two bellowed side pockets add to the volume and easily carry spotting scopes and tripods. A built-in meat shelf and water bladder sleeve inside the pack further enhance the Reckoning’s versatility. The Reckoning has a built-in roll-top lid with tab loops for the addition of a belt pouch to save ounces should you want to run “light” in the field. A Guide lid (sold separately) is needed to fully extend the main bag for maximum volume.
