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..

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  |

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.
