This is for black bear hunting in a fairly brushy area. Think hands and knees at times.

I like the T1 red dot because it is not sensitive to sight alignment and provides such good visibility. I can shoot accurately from all kinds of imperfect positions, with or without a pack strap to mess up my length of pull. I generally don't like to rely on anything electronic, but this sight is so easy to shoot with that I think it's worth it.

The stock pack really is just to keep the ammo and my tag with the gun. It provides a nice cheek piece too. I like to keep things as grab-and-go as possible. Extra shells go in my backpack or on my belt.

I'll have to check out that Safari Sling. Sounds interesting.
