Rifle Scabard

I needed a scabbard for a rifle with a 50mm scope. So I made this. Made from 10-12oz Wickett & Craig saddle skirting lined with chap leather.

OK, so I'm reading "Rifle Scabbard" and thinking "Man that's one hell of thing to hang from your belt..."

Then I see the saddle. My brain goes "DOH!".

It's a beauty! Is that hairy bit in the middle cow or something else?

It's cow. My original idea was to use some African animal hide. I went on a safari last year, but most of the hair was to long and just did not look right. So since I had everything else all cut out, I just used cow.

there's a couple of nice looking "exotic" cow hair on hide dye jobs out there that would look great on there. there's a great looking leopard print which I use (and a crappy one too. looks more like cheetah and not a good looking cheetah either), tiger, and zebra.

I'm still trying to think of things to do with the back half hides of these African animals I shot. I kind of wanted the real thing not dye job prints.
