What’s the best way to carry a lever-action rifle in the field?

Question

Accepted Answer

Choosing a Hunting Sling A good hunting sling should be adjustable, durable, and have a stable, padded shoulder strap. Look for a sling that allows for easy attachment to the rifle via the rifle’s receiver ring or a sling swivel. The sling should also be long enough to allow the rifle to hang comfortably at your side, but not so long that it gets tangled or in the way.
Packing the Rifle When packing the rifle, consider using a shirt or pack with multiple compartments and pockets to keep your gear organized and easily accessible. A large, insulated pack with a dedicated rifle sleeve can help keep the rifle stable and protected from the elements. When wearing a shirt or vest with multiple pockets, keep your rifle and ammunition in easy-to-reach locations, such as the front or side pockets.
