[QUOTE="RH300UM, post: 506174, member: 12469"] As was stated above I would NOT ride with a backpack on at all. This is very dangerous. The rifle needs to be carried in a scabbarb on the horse. I have tried many a scabbard inclunding the above mentioned. They all fell short of my needs. We ended up having custom ones made to suit us. I do alot of the type of hunting you are planning on and have found through time that this scabbard system works great. Balancing the scabbard and a LR rifle can be a pain at times. We had custom saddle bags made also to help with the balancing. The oppisite side of the scabbard is loaded with heavy items such as water bottles or a couple cans of soup and snacks. This has worked out good. When I get to camp or to the place where I am going to start hiking I then put on the Eberlestock J107. This pack gives me many options for what is needed in the pack for the trip at hand. I always carry my pack on another pack animal and the rifle is on my saddle horse. I know all this will be more than you probally wanted to know but I though it might be helpful. Make sure you talk with your outfitter and tell them your needs and concerns. Any questions just PM me. This picture shows how I carry the Edge on my horse.
