Thread: Rifle scabbards

I've got both the eblerstock and the cactus. Didn't really like the eblerstock distribution of weight on it is very awkward and always found it fatiguing my legs really badly. Plus the eblerstock pack empty is already 3kg on its own. However I've just started using the cactus scabbard and love it. Really comfortable and you don't even realize your rifle is there. Very good in situations where you need both hands. Used it rather extensively last weekend which included about 20km and a similar amount of walking and I never could come up with a complaint about it. The thing I really like about it is that you can move it between packs. Therefore you can have it on your day pack or your 10day trip pack. The versility is much better than the eblerstock from what I've found. The only issue I could find with the cactus is if you have a really heavy rifle it can pull you to one side and it makes your core work quite hard to stabilise it with the cactus where as the eblerstock has it right down the middle. But I sorted the heavy rifle problem out. Hope this helps. Any more questions just ask.
Cheers
