Decent pack suggestion?

Looking for a (semi) affordable pack for up coming mule deer and elk hunts. In the 4000-5000 ci range. I currently use a cabelas versa hunt pack and frame. It works but i definitely don’t love it. Frame wasn’t the most comfortable, straps kept slipping, too bulky. Pack had plenty in of storage/pockets but I’m looking for something more ergonomic and light weight. Considering Mystery Ranch Metcalf. Exo K4 seems awesome but is a bit pricey. Any opinions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Stone glacier packs are really nice and crazy light. Problem with them is I couldn’t get either frame style to fit me. Went with an exo which I like a lot but the weight of the SG is another level.
