[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 99108, member: 3745"] Elkfirst, It sounds like you have quite a bit of experience with scabbards, so I would like to ask you a question..... I usually go on one or two horseback hunts each fall. Sometimes (not always) I carry one of my big long range rifles. I long since gave up on depending on the outfitter having a scabbard that my rifle will fit in. A few years ago I bought a leather scabbard by Triple K and extended the end of it to fit my long barreled rifles. The problem I have now is that I want to carry a rifle with my Nightforce scope on it. The 56mm objective and target turrets hang up and I can't get the rifle in without forcing it.........then I can't get it out [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] Do you have any suggestions for a scabbard that will work with long barreled rifles with large scopes?? I have thought about taking a tough soft sided rifle case like a Boyt and adding the necessary straps to make it usable as a scabbard. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated........except "carry a smaller rifle" I've already been told that one several times. I'm not very smart and I'm stubborn too, so I have not taken that bit of advice [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
