Carry-on for Scope, Camera, Laptop, etc (1 Viewer)

Could someone recommend an inexpensive bag that I can carry-on to an airplane, and will fit my laptop (13.6"), spotting scope (Vortex Razor HD, 85 mm angled), and dslr camera with 300f4 lens? None of my backpacks are big enough.
 
I carry a very similar setup of laptop, same scope (which I love), my dslr, and a 100-400 which I assume is a little smaller than your 300, in an older Cabela's backpack. It's tight, but it works. I just got online to their website and it appears they no longer make it! What a shame, as it has served me well through 10 seasons of guiding in Alaska and multiple trips to South and Central America, and it even had a built-in rain cover. Do you have access to a Cabela's or an REI where you can go in and try them out?

My pack has a light external frame, but still easily travels as a carry-on. Good luck.
