When it's not in my hand it's in a Kifaru gun bearer on my MR pack.

Surprised the Frankenstud Slingamarig hasn't been mentioned....it is a nice simple alternative and I've stopped using my Kifaru gunbearer since I got this.

I strap a VISM NCStar tactical shotgun scabbard to the right side of pack...attach a half inch soft woven tubular climbing webbing starting with a ~30-36" length with a loose loop around the pistol grip. Other end looped to easily accept gloved hand and extends 5 to 6 inches past buttstock end. Total length 16". Easy to grasp loop end, lift straight up and 18" lever actions or police-type shotgun equivalents quickly and smoothly can be handled to firing position.

Protects wood stocks and blued finishes, allows hands to be free when scrambling or using poles, etc. Barrel pointing down and away from body or companions when overcoming obstacles.

Obvious shortcoming is drawing when in heavy brush low hanging branches overhead.


Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

So I now use the Kifaru gun bearer upper on my packs and the Kuiu quick draw lower. The Kuiu lower attached to the belt on each side instead of just in the middle, this makes it do a MUCH better job at keeping the rifle from twisting than the Kifaru lower design. Still works just the same, I don't have to manipulate the buckle to get my stock in and out though if you have a bigger stock you may have to do so.
