Well built, too heavy for a backpack - Savior Equipment Specialist Covert Single Rifle Case

This case is well built and has many options for packing stuff in it. The problem is it weighs 7 lbs empty. That may not sound like much, but every pound counts hiking up a hill. Also the straps are not well padded and overall it's a bit awkward to wear as a packback. It would be great for the range via car, but not for hiking in. By comparison my Elite Survival Assault Case has better padding, is just as well built, but only weighs 2.8 pounds! I was hoping this would be a bit bigger case for longer trips, but not weigh much more.
