Vorn Quick Rifle Release (QRR) rifle backpacks carry your rifle in a built-in, protective scabbard with a quick-release pull handle in the shoulder harness, so your hands stay free until you need the shot. Choose the framed EV45 (45 L) or EV30 (30 L) for larger loads, or the frameless 12 L LT12 for fast, light days in the field. Every Vorn pack is backed by a 5-year spare parts warranty.
Which Vorn QRR rifle backpack is right for you?
All three Vorn QRR packs carry your rifle in a built-in, protective scabbard, with a quick-release pull handle in the shoulder harness. You keep both hands free while you walk, glass or climb, and your rifle is ready quickly when you need the shot. The difference between them is how much you need to carry and for how long.
- Vorn EV45 (45 litres): the biggest in the range, on a height-adjustable frame. Best for multi-day trips, walk in and camp hunts, and carrying the most venison inside the pack: two Fallow hind quarters, a fore quarter and two backstraps.
- Vorn EV30 (30 litres): the versatile all-rounder for day trips and stalking, on the same frame (adjustable for 160–200 cm). Carries a Fallow hind quarter, a fore quarter and two backstraps internally.
- Vorn LT12 (12 litres): frameless and only 1.40 kg, with a removable hip belt. Built for hands-free, ultra-light stalking and for hunting from an e-bike, motorbike or quad bike.
You can add capacity with P2 pouches on any of them, and the L10 load net on the EV30 and EV45. Every pack is backed by a 5-year spare parts warranty. For set-up tips and a decade of field use, read our Vorn QRR backpack guide, or see the FAQ for warranty, shipping and returns.
