G3 Phantom

Purchased primary for range days, elk hunting, hiking and PRS events. The main compartment has a lot of room. There are small pockets at the top of the main storage compartment on the sides, but very small as in barely big enough for a pistol magazine or a knife and not sure what they are for. It would not be easy to get a magazine in and out of them because they are so close to the top. There are storage pockets under a radio mesh screen that buckles. I'd prefer if it was removable from the bag. The external side pockets with buckled tops are cavernous with smaller compartments under them with elastic band top. One thing I really like is between the side pockets and the main bag are deep slots that run the entire side length of the bag. I can put a 25" tripod in it and secure it down with cinch straps. I've removed the scabbard because I see myself using that for elk hunting. The belt and shoulder harness are pretty comfortable, so far. One thing this bag doesn't lack are MOLLE straps. I've never seen so many on a bag. Only three things I've found that I would improve are those inside pockets and remove the radio mesh, include some MOLLE pouches for the cost of the G3 and provide an instruction book/video on how to operate this bag, lol! It is complex with a lot going on with buckets, straps, MOLLE, zippers, scabbards, compartments. I did buy the pack mount shooting rest and attached it to the MOLLE system on the main compartment flap. The G3 is very durable and extremely well made and research shows it has been in use by LEO and MIL snipers for a long time. I'm not using it for that, but it fits my needs.

Very nice pack. Color me satisfied

I use this pack extensively and love it's versatility and modular design. The scabbard is functional and attaches nicely to the load bearing belt and harness. If I'm at the range or weekend match, this pack goes with me. As always, the quality is top notch!

This is a well-made pack that serves well for my current sniper assignment. The scabbard holds my rifle with the suppressor and everything. I like the weight distribution the pack provides. I am able to store my optics, tripod, dope book, and all other equipment needed. Very excited about this pack!

Title says it. Met my exact needs

The bag seems VERY well made. Great quality item. I cannot wait to get it out and put it to use. I have heard nothing but great reviews of Eberlestock bags so I have confidence that this bag will hold up to anything.

Numerous options out there for consumers to consider. However, Eberlestock packs are my go to and have been for the last 2 decades. No fitment problems, no quality issues, no hassle. Truly great packs. The removable scabbard on the G3 phantom works extremely well and provides the upmost flexibility for specific load outs.

I’ve only hunted with the pack on a few short hunts. It does it’s job as described. The disappointment comes from 1) a month after I bought mine, it goes on sale for 30% off, poor luck I guess.
2) When I pay $400 for a pack, I expect it to be made in the USA. Mine was made in Cambodia, I bet they didn’t get the kind of markup Eberlstock received? Can’t get much made in American anymore.

Plenty of space for all my gear. I have medical, survival, takedown recurve and arrows, everything I need for my rifle as well. Build quality is fantastic.
