What spotting scopes fit in the Badlands 2200 scope pocket?

I'm particularly interested to know if the Vortex Razor HD (angled) and the Swarovski 65 ATM HD (angled) will fit in the spotting scope pocket on the Badlands 2200?

The swarovski 65 will, as it fit mine really well. The razor I highly doubt it but I can't say I ever tried it. Length wise I think it would be fine but I don't think that the pocket would open large enough for the bigger objective.

I have an atm 65hd and the 2200 pack. It fits, but the angled eyepiece is tight. The problem I have with the 2200 is adjusting the waist belt to fit me, its too big and I am a 30 waist. I wish it would cinch up tighter.

Thanks for the info guys. I decided to got to Sportsmans Warehouse and test it out. You can get the Swarovski 65HD ATM into the scope pocket, but it doesn't slide right in, takes a bit of fussing to get around the tripod quick release and then to squeeze in the angled eyepiece. The scope was bare, no case on it.

The Vortex HD razor will go in but you have to really want to get it in. It wouldn't be something you'd want to do a lot. It'd take mad skills and patience to get it in with the case on it. Anyway, I hope this info helps someone else in the future.

Try the Sitka 4500, it has two compartments, one for Spotter, and one for the tri-pod. I really love mine for packing meat and for a functional over all pack!
