So I splurged and get me a custom leather scabbard

gelandangan

for my Rossi Puma .357 Mag to be carried on my back.
This rifle has been with me for about 20 years harvesting many pigs in the scrubs.
I never got to install a sling on it since it is a bit awkward to drill the stock for sling points.
Custom hand made and stitched by Blacks Blades' Shane Partridge of Wollongong Australia.

Very happy..

Shane has done a beautiful job on your scabbard mate. Why did you have problems fitting a sling to the Rossi mate? I bought a set of Uncle Mikes QD Sling Swivels for my Winchester Mod 94 and they work a treat.

Somehow I just don't like to drill into the stock of that rifle Vince..
I dont know why.. I cannot explain this.

Vince

No explanation needed mate...I understand fully.

I can understand not waning to drill into the stock, but I need a sling. Here's a site that has a no drill sling, I did something like it on my old Winchester 94 but I didn't use the front swivel or the fancy butt system they show. I just had a leather loop, just long enough that when I shouldered the rifle the back of my elbow was snug n the loop, used a small rawhide strap to tie the loop to the barrel just in front of the stock, like I said not fancy but very functional. With your leather guy I am sure you could come up with something much nicer than what I did.

gelandangan, very nice. Can you do a quick-draw from the scabbard?

I think he doesn't need to draw before he can shoot...
he even can aim because he left the optics outside.

The only thing I was wandering: is there something added to fix that scabbard to your normal rucksack? It would make carrying even easier.

But it's really nice and worth coppying Smile

Very nice...It would even work on my saddle. Nice...Very nice.

Yes I am very happy with this.

This is more for me to carry the rifle on a stroll, not intended to do quick draw but I can draw it as fast as unslinging a rifle on the shoulder.

The reason for the scope on the outside is so the sheath is still snug when the scope is not used.

very nice, just make sure not to leave rifle in it too long, they dont like getting all hot n damp.
