Maybe a better scabbard for leverguns

[AJMD429]

Sometimes it's nice to have a rifle handy when out using the tractor, and yet I didn't want to spend $100 or more for a fancy leather saddle-scabberd. Besides, most of the scabbards I've seen don't work with scopes at all, and don't do too well with even the Marbles Bullseye rear sights. I have one similar to this one:



I saw an advertisement for this one, and since it's "Tactical" it must be cool.

We'll see how it works. It isn't "John Deere Green" but it is at least sort-of a green color.

I use a scabbard like that on the ATV and it works great. It was only around $25 from cheaper than dirt or sportsmans guide.

Was thinking about getting one like the top one, cool

I have several scabbards I got from Sportsmans guide. Same make as the Cheaper Than dirt model but about ten dollars less. Three choices on color. I like mine. They advertise them as shotgun scabbards, but really are great for flat lever guns. Check their web sites. Tan, Green and Black are the colors. FWIW

Any pics of your scabbard "in action" anyone?

I have been thinking about one but have not started looking.

With all the super cheap "tacticool" stuff out there, I should be able to find something.

A lot of that stuff is fine for everyday use, some is actually quite well made.

EDIT:
Dang, man!
You just gave me a great idea!
I have been trying to figure out how to mount the '92 in the "laundry/mud room" (one "room," two names, half the size of either and has all the stuff for BOTH in it, plus three doors and a basement entry!). That's the way I "go out the back" and where I need to be able to grab my rifle. I thought about hanging it above the coats, but it would be in plain sight and I am not all that tall. Thought about making a vertical rack in a corner, but there's only ONE (figure THAT out ) and the dryer occupies it.

NOW, I'm thinking, one of those cool non-hygroscopic padded nylon scabbards hung on the wall horizontally (or at a slight angle), UNDER the coats! It would be out of sight, out of the way and HANDY!

Thanks for the idea.

EDIT:
I had an even better idea (for my application) after posting.
In fact, I even had what I needed tucked away from a truck I sold about 15 years ago and it was still where I left it!! Problem is - a furry target (cat) peed on it!
I was all ready to put the thing up this afternoon until I smelled it.

I like the stuff from "Cheaper Than Dirt". Been to their store in Fort Worth several times. Like being a kid in a candy store!

I got out the three likeliest guns I'd hang on the tractor or whatever when out doing chores:

Guide Gun - plenty of room.

Mini-14 - even fits with the bipod on.

Night Scout (Marlin 1894 with scout scope mount, Burris Fastfire/Lasermax laser on rail, and magazine-mounted high-intensity light) - fits just fine.

NOTE - I wasn't a fan of "Tactical Digital Camo" until. . .
. . . I realized that Grandma had made me a "Tactical Digital Quilt"
