I don't know why you need a scabbard. Just came back from an elk hunt a week ago, we used the pack straps and cinched the rifles to the packs whenever we didn't want to carry them on our shoulder. Eberlestock makes tough durable packs; however, in my experience they are some of the heaviest ones on the market. I gave mine away years ago, IIRC it was 8lbs empty.
