Mystery Ranch site has the Wolf Alpha / Nice frame for $380.00 on closeout. I bought one and it is very nice. The bag can be run in patrol (lower position) of RECCE (upper position). The Bag has fiberglass stays built in for load lift.
I run of these and reach for it more than my other packs. Very versatile pack that you can run as a frame by itself up to a 10 day pack.Another one that gets you definitly under your price is the Horn Hunter Full Curl system. You can find them on here in the $200 range. Pretty functional load lifters.
