Need some pointers, gents. Any help is greatly appreciated.
So, I am thinking that on some backpacking trips I want to carry a shotgun for bear protection. All my handguns are 9mm so they won't do for bear.
In order to accomplish this, I believe that a scabbard would be a good choice. It gives me options to mount to the backpack, which is how I would like to carry. I don't want to get a sling because it would interfere with the backpack.
The issue is, I have a 28" barrel (Rem 870) and after looking around, I didn't see any scabbards that would fit a barrel this long, as most are 'tactical' scabbards.
Do you have any suggestions for me? Any known scabbards made for longer barrels? I would rather not buy another - shorter- barrel simply for cost reasons. I have no real use for it otherwise.
Thanks in advance.
