Long-range rifle scabbard?

I'm looking to get a decent scabbard for my elk hunt with horses. Any suggestions? The one I have won't fit with my scope and longer barrel.
 
What length do you need and what's the height of your rifle overall?

Post Note:


That's a pretty long rifle. My rifle (for which I don't have a scabbard) with a 28" barrel goes to 49" full length. If I were to buy a scabbard for it I wouldn't mind leaving ten inches hanging out in good weather but I always prefer fully closed luggage for carrying my rifles.
Most of the scabbards I'm familiar with are for carbines or rifles of similar lengths.
But I found this one ... if it helps any.

Not sure about the height. I run a 26 inch barrel with a muzzle brake. The stock is standard length of pull. The scope is a mark 4 6.5x20 with a 20 MOA base. I'm out of town now and can't measure.
 
eberlestock packs will fit but be tight. your rifle will be tight and you will need a rain cover with it (extra $25).
I have a rifle set up pretty much the same as yours and it fits well.
 
I use the Trailmax rifle scabbards and love them.
Plus it fits perfectly in a Pelican 1570 case for traveling.
