[QUOTE="elkfirst, post: 99126, member: 3923"] RDM416, from what I can gather, your rifle outfit is not a cheap one, therefore I say go to a custom leather shop or saddle maker and have yourself a custom scabbard made up. I don't think it'll cost you much more than a standard off the shelf unit except for a bit more leather. Take your outfit to the saddle maker and he can outline your gun & scope and build from there. Be sure to know how you want to mount, take into consideration my opinion (even though I may be Bass Achwards) and that of the others who post here. It's all a matter of preference. However, your gun is probably heavy, it you mount it on the left (side that you get on), your saddle will already tend to hang a bit to that side. When you mount, you'll drop the saddle further to the left and have to re-adjust once atop of ol' Bessy. If you attach your scabbard on the right, the saddle will naturally hang to that side, when you mount up, it's a natural course of event that it will straighten up. If you shoot a long range rifle, then there should be no need for "quick draw" access which the left side provides. Just my thaughts. [/QUOTE]
