Rokslide prostaffer Matt Cashell thoroughly tested the new Mystery Ranch Metcalf last summer and fall. He's here for Backpack Month with is final thoughts. Did Mystery Ranch get it right? You can read the review here:

I stopped by Mystery Ranch's booth at the Salt Lake Expo and got a video tour of the Metcalf from Andrew:

Any idea when the 2015 MR hunting catalog will be visible to the public? Any new accessories offered?

Is the weight of this set up a deal breaker for anyone? I'm really interested in this pack

Nope! I don't have the Metcalf, but have used the Longbow and 6500. Definitely not, bomber packs.

I think Luke got a video on the Marshall at SHOT. It is like the 6500, but lighter.

Great article. I currently have the Pop Up 28 and I am looking to upgrade for a western hunt. Very Helpful!
