I will be using my LWRC M6A3 mainly for range fun and hunting varmits like coyotes so my question is do I need a chest rig and if so which one should I go with? I was looking at Tac Force but there is so many options out there its hard to know what is good being that I'm so new to this field. I will be carrying a Camel Bak Transformer pack with me when hunting varmits so would that be enough? Or would I need a chest rig?

Thanks

A good day pack with a hydration sleeve is probably your best best for hunting. I'd stow some power bars some rain gear and random supply type of stuff as well as a couple extra mags and you should be fine.

As for the range there are really a few options. Some people like to get all kitted out with a chest rig and some prefer running something more simple like a couple mag pouches off of a good belt. If you want to use a chest rig at the range I would recommend something along the lines of this http://www.skdtac.com/Eagle_Chest_Rig_Universal_SKD_p/eag.567.htm to start out with. That will get you a good quality rig that isn't too expensive and doesn't require you to buy extra pouches etc. until you are sure you like the idea of a chest rig.

If you like the idea of running "slick" I'd go with a couple of kydex mag pouches (here is some great info on mag pouches btw http://www.ttellc.net/pouches.htm) and a wilderness belt or something similar. The last option would be the whole war belt deal which I'm just getting into so I can't really give great advice on yet. Good luck and let us know what you end up with [:D]
