Default Tenzing packs

Anybody else use these? What do you guys think?
I have a TZ2220 currently and it is an awesome pack, I like everything about it.
I'm looking at higher capacity suspension framed packs now for the long hauls into and out of the mountains. Anybody have the TZ5000/6000 and thoughts? And honestly the TZ CF13 seems like it would be the best for a meat hauler but would lack in economical gear hauling. Really interested in some features, just seems to be less for more $.
Experienced backpackers or sheep hunters, looking at you. Thoughts?

What is your price range? there are much better options if your willing to spend more money. Kifaru, Stone glacier, Mystery ranch to name a few...

I don't have any experience with tenzing though.

check out www.rokslide.com they have some great back packing discussions there

Just checked out the TZ CF13 online and wow. had no idea on the price of it and just assumed it would be less than the ones I described.

Looks like a great pack

I have the 5000 and love it. Had it for 2 years now and love it. Also have the 2200 for day hunts. Most comfortable pack I've ever had.

I have the 6000 and also love it! I haven't tested it hauling meat out yet but have had it 2yrs now and it packs everything in for week long sheep hunts in comfort.

My Tenzing isn't a meat-packer, but I can definitely attest to the build quality, comfort and utility.

Wholesale sports has a minimal selection and won't order specific, the new Canadian tire in South common has a couple.
If I can decide 5000 or cf13, I hope to just order direct
