I looked at a lot of options several years ago. Found a few examples searching the web but never got started. I'll be interested to see what you do.

These are photos of a couple I have done for Mares Leg Rifles

The Shoulder Rig was for a really good client (I didn't want to make it) ;) The bullet loop "strap" on the "off side" helps hold the weight of the rifle. 

Not shown in photos...  

  • A strap with a snap over the rifle for retention
  • Leg strap to kep it from swinging while walking

The Saddle Scabbard was for a client that rides in the northern AZ mountains often. He has seen and been stalked by mountain lions at times.  

He liked the Mares Leg because it was small and chambered in a large caliber (I think it was a .45 Long Colt?) and didn't want a rifle hanging on the saddle swell (front part under the horn) or one running under his leg.

Hanging from the rear rigging ring on the saddle was ideal for how he wanted to carry it.

Two buckle straps hold it on, one through the rigging ring and a lower strap around the rear cinch strap keeps it from swinging and bouncing on the horses side. (I didn't take photos of the back attachment straps 😐)

I made one a couple years back . . . he wanted the hammer and trigger fairly well covered 

He also wanted to wear it around his waist

May God bless,
