speaking of zombies ....

you should read "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (with ultraviolent zombie mayhem)". It's laugh out loud funny, at least if you're familiar with the non-zombie version.

"Sense and Sensibility (& Sea MOnsters)" is not nearly so funny.

I've never carried a long gun on the bike - Seems like the sling over your shoulder, while effective, might attract a bit of attention! I once almost lost my carry pistol from vibrating out of a IWB holster, so some sort of retention device is needed.

I think I'd also think "ATV scabbard", tie it on a few different configurations, see how it feels. You could come up with some kind of easy-release attachment for the scabbard to pop it off when you're not carrying the gun.

Thanks for trying to bring the thread back to the topic. I am thinking the ATV scabard as well. I guess I just need to go outside and try it. But wait, I still have work to do.

IMO the reason for a scabbard is to protect the gun while you are transporting it. Also, while I am the original gun guy, it is easier on the gun community if anti-gunners don't feel like someone is bearing down on them with a gun at the ready. We may not change the hard core gun grabbers, but those who don't care can be swayed by a little common sense on our behalf. Since the gun is to be uncased only at your destination I would get the best protection for it and adapt it to fit your bike. Then I would buy the best Mel Gibson mask I could find and dress exactly like he did in Mad Max. Grin

Just held in place with the thumb screw in front of the ammo tube. You now have a much shorter package. Put it in a nice carry bag and put it cross ways behind you on the saddle. It won't be any wider than your saddle bags. Strap it down and you're set to go.
