Garm: New Sniper Rifle/DMR Carrying System from Vorn Defence
It’s been a while since Vorn Defence got mentioned here at TFB. The Vorn Equipment Fast Access Rifle Backpack written by Nicholas C was the last time, and I really like their quick-release system. If you carry longer and larger rifles and firearms from time to time, or all of the time, you should continue reading. Their new system is called Garm, which in Norse mythology is a wolf associated with Ragnarök, and described as a blood-stained guardian of Hel’s gate.
Their new carrying-system will work even with a Barrett M107, and is focused for snipers or designated marksmen.
Vorn Defence GARM:
The GARM can carry most carbines and long guns with optics and other accessories. Anything from a short barreled M4 up to a Barrett M107 or McMillan T50 will fit in the GARMs firearms compartment.
The patented Quick Rifle Release system ensures that the firearm can be deployed from the pack within seconds.
The lower part of the weapon scabbard can be folded up when used for shorter carbines, and rifles with folding stocks.
The Garm is delivered with a rifle sleeve which can be used as a separate «drag bag» or to provide additional dust and weather protection while the firearm is carried inside the GARM.

Upon further review I can see a civilian/non LEO application for this. If you backpack into an area to hunt. It would be a lot easier to use this pack than carrying your rifle when you won't be needing it.
Say, what you want - the problem is there: The shooter of an DMR has to keep up with the infantry. But he has a heavy rifle. It is certainly easier, if the rifle is carried on the back.
