My Pair in .44 Russian/Special:

When I was much younger and hunting with an outfitter on horseback, I packed a pre-64 M70 in a scabbard, butt rear, muzzle slightly down, under my right leg. The barrel was shortened to 21-3/8 inches, with a Weaver K-4 scope. The scabbard I made myself. I would dismount, reach over the horse and pull the rifle from the scabbard. Worked fine.

This is one of  R M Bachman’s Slim Jim holsters for the 7 1/2 inch barrel SAA. These are top quality holsters, from one of the best makers. This calf skin lined holster would cost you $195 plus a wait for backlog time (and Rick always has a backlog!). This holster is very lightly used, and is priced at only $150 plus shipping and handling.

I will accept USPS money orders, cashiers checks, or (for CAS City forum members with more than 25 posts) , a personal check.

First, “I’ll take it”, followed immediately by a PM gets the holster.

A woman from north and west of here.  She seemed to be pretty happy about it!

Since it has been brought up...

As a Cavalry Reenactor, for some 30 years, I did sling a Sharps Carbine with an original snap hook and carbine thimble.
I also slung a Henry in Sling over may back from time to time.
Neither was comfortable, particularly at the canter, or gallop... The Henry could and occasionally did pop you in the back of your head.
The Sharps was heavy, and yanked on your shoulder, and on dismount and slung over the shoulder could and did smack you. You learned quickly to dismount without arching your back.
On the other hand, I had a M 1904 scabbard for my O3 in WW1 impression.
When it was rigged as regulation, it was under your leg and O4 stirrup strap making close contact leg grip uncomfortable.
