[QUOTE="middleofnowhere, post: 1524384, member: 96793"] One of my buddies has an eberlestock scabbard on his backpack, it’s a waste of weight imo. He believes in keeping his rifles in showroom condition, and protecting from scratches is more important to him than hunting LOL I have strapped my rifle to outside of my MR Metcalf to pack out meat, when I need both hands on trekking poles. I also use the Kifaru gun bearer now to carry rifle, it allows use of trekking poles and fast access to rifle if in bear country. What I don’t like about the way that rifle is hanging on the pack, it’s too low. When I have put my rifle on the pack it’s usually just because I need both hands for trekking poles. That’s when pack is loaded with meat and close to 100#. I usually sit down to put my pack off and on when it’s that heavy, the rifle hanging below the pack would interfere. The downside to strapping the rifle higher is going through brush and inder trees with barrel up like a flag pole. When I’ve packed out (done hunting), i try to avoid the dense trees and brush usually. [ATTACH=full]113376[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
