Anyone used or handled a scabbard (and horn bag unit) from Rawhide Gear? http://www.rawhidegear.com/store.html ![[Linked Image]](http://www.rawhidegear.com/images/store/rifle_scabbard_1000x665.jpg)

That also looks like a good way to imbalance and overload a saddle horse.

Lot's of the same thoughts I had. Wasn't sure if there was something I was missing.

BTW
There was/is a forum member making leather rifle scabbards.
Who is that?

I wonder why that guy doesn't hang a little more crap on that mule?

Somehow this photo looks like that scabbard should be taped to the mule's leg to make it a Clint Eastwood fast draw holster.

Don't like how low it holds the rifle, but I like the rifle up front like that. Hate things under my legs. Good looking mule.

I agree. All I've used has been leather for a lever action with no scope running under my left leg (under bend of my knee) butt forward. Even with the slim profile I dislike it under my leg. Started looking at scabbards for a scoped bolt action and knew it would be even thicker. Being clear of my leg is what caught my eye on this one but hanging so low it would hit everything and mounted any higher it would be in the way.
