Is there a product for lever-action rifles that is similar to an arrow quiver you can wear on your back?

Question

I am looking to see if anyone knows if there is a product that you can wear on your back for hiking in the back country that will hold your lever action rifle and provide easy access? The best analogies I can come up with would be a "scabbard you can wear on your back, or a back-mounted arrow quiver". Leather or any other material.

Answer 1

I know exactly what you mean and have an idea why you want it.

It is basically a saddle scabbard mounted on your back so you can grasp the stock and draw the carbine over your right shoulder, with your right hand and bring it down to firing position rapidly.

Right?

I too want one for my Rossi M-92 SRC!

It would leave both hands free for hiking, climbing, or fishing. It would protect the gun from scratches and dings, and if waterproof, would keep it dry when waist-deep in a salmon stream. And keep the rifle handy if a bear wants my catch.

Unfortunately, I do not know of anyone who makes such a back scabbard. I guess I will eventually have to make one myself.

Answer 2

yes they do make them but an easier and most likely cheaper method would be a shoulder strap for it, that way it would not have the shance of getting caught in any gear when you might need it, the other option is a scabbard made for tying onto the botton of a hiking pack. those can present a problem in the fact that you almost have to take the pack off to get the rifle out, especially if you have shorter arms

Answer 3

Check out Cabelas . . . they offer a number of packs specifically designed to carry a rifle or bow where it is readily accessible . . .

Answer 4

You could have one made by a Leather Craftsman..

I don't know that either match your exact needs, but that was a quick look.
