LAST EDITED ON Feb-15-15 AT 10:46AM (MST)[p]I am glad to hear that you are leaning more towards Horn Hunter. I am sure you will not run into issues with Horn Hunter such as not being able to get ahold of them. Every time I have called during business hours they answer and have incredible customer service.
I can see why you wouldn't want to trust that warranty. "More than likely replace or repair your pack." Just doesn't cut it when you have companies out there that will repair or replace no matter what for any reason!
As far as fitting your sleeping bag, tent and sleeping pad inside there is no question that it will fit. On my last 4 night elk hunt I fit a 3 man tent, sleeping bag and all of my gear (ei. camp stove, clothing, water purifier, food, etc) inside and strapped my sleeping pad to the bottom outside since I like using my large memory foam sleeping pad on longer hunts like that.
I posted a picture of my wife wearing that pack all loaded up on facebook. I will dig that one up and get it posted
The second picture is of my buddy and I's packs loaded up with meat ready to head back to the truck.
These should give you a good idea of how your gun would mount, how meat is hauled and how the pack looks full of gear. If you want any more pics or have more questions please let me know.
