Looks a great bag.

I bought a 30 litre olive green back pack from Military Kit and then imported one of these to attach to it. £80 all in. Fits everything I need and holds the rifle firmly.

Good find thanks for posting.
I mostly use mine for wildfowling so it only has to accommodate a shotgun, but I struggle to fit my centrefire rifles in there when I've tried - partly because of the scopes (fat turrets), partly because of the width of the stock (fat varmint-style at front). I haven't played much, so there might be a better way, but I would think the only way to make a bipod fit would be to push everything higher.
If you're using a standard sporter stock and a sensible hunting scope (as you probably should be when stalking...) you should be fine. Just be aware there isn't much width available. Depending on how you use it, this style of bag can be annoying for other reasons, too - the rifle hangs below your arse so you can't sit down with it on, for example. If you don't remove the rifle, you also have to lie the bag on its side if you take it off.
I don't really use the quick release feature so would trade that for more room if I could. It's a good bag, don't get me wrong, but it has some definite limitations.
The bipod will sit higher than the pack enclosure most of the time.
Fjallraven singi 28ltr and pouch are both on Amazon, silly money but good kit.
The EV30 looks really good. The upgraded carrying system appears an upgrade and the wider rifle compartment would be nice I admit.
I have a very small folding rifle that just about fits in the lynx to make it covert. The new packs would be perfect. I just can’t justify the expense.

Yep what he said, got two in the man cave that are on route to the recycle dept, don’t know where they are made now but the quality has dropped
I changed to a medium sized tenzing, best bit of kit I’ve had, anything to keep bone dry I used the waterproof roll bags absolutely faultless, really worth the money, mine has seen some work and is still perfect.
I wouldn’t say the same for others
Pretty much what I did, fitted an entrenching tool holder at the bottom to put the butt in, and a quick release buckle on the top to hold it in place. If you get one of the radio packs, you can fit it centrally in the gap between the pack and the back system
For the Vorn users. When the rifle is in the bag, does the weight cause the bag to lean to one side?
Do you have a photo !
I can do one, but in the middle of a house move at the moment
looks a good bit of kit that.
Not that I've noticed. The frame and harness design is excellent.
