[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 741088, member: 10391"] First let me apologize to the OP for kinda high jacking his thread but he should find this stuff interesting also. I like what I see here. Looks like you do quality work. My favorite scabbard and it's about wore out has a notch on the side that the bolt slides into then the flap comes around and tucks under the bolt locking the rifle so it can't move forward or backward. Mainly keeps the barrel crown from riding against the bottom of the scabbard. What I have noticed with friends who sling their scabbards with scope up is the scabbard has a tendency to want to roll away from the horse because of the weight of the scope high and that's the main reason I have always slung it with scope down with the bolt handle away from the horse. A couple of guys I used to hunt with added another keeper strap to the scabbard near the top on both sides and it seemed to fixed the problem. One thing I'm wondering about is where the windage turret rides will probably get a lot of wear over time. Will the neoprene hold up or could a piece of leather be incorporated right there on the inside of the aluminum?? We have had no trouble with wolves here yet. A neighbor runs about 500 goats to keep the bad weeds down all around here and has had no incident with wolves. Will mention your collar to her. Anyway thanks for posting the pictures they are great. Will be very interested to see how the prototype goes together. [/QUOTE]
