I'm looking for a good, military-grade load bearing system designed to hold .308 magazines.
My first instinct was to get a good pair of H-suspenders and four .308 mag pouches on the belt. Old-fashioned, but simple.
But then I got to thinking. What about these tac-vests that Eagle and Blackhawk and everybody else are making? The pouches on them will hold one .308 mag with no problem, and most would then give you six mags. They can be adjusted to fit over body armor and are compatible with the hydration bladders. (I like that feature; I rigged one up to my LBV-88 when I was in the Guards and loved it.)
For lesser-intensity stuff, I'm all set. I've got some German green rubberized dual mag pouches that fit nicely over a standard pants belt, for when I'm just out roaming (or when I will do that, when I get to Utah.) I've got some leather Austrian pouches that look a little classier.
I need (don't suppose I actually "require" it, but what the heck) a full-on tac rig, though. Something suitable for street or field. Any suggestions?
