good point, I have never rolled a machine, crashed at 80mph, but it didn't roll, I went flying though. I wish I was in a "hupurest" boot.

Roll your machine......are ya kidding? With studs, I've never rolled my machine. I have tipped it over, but with the gun boot on the rack, it's never been affected. But, I suppose that when you are hauling more guns then Alaska Airlines in September, you might run out of hard case places.

Here is question for you all. How many of you ride with your gun on your back or in front of you when it's slung? I used to ride with it on my back until I got so much snow and cold in my action that my bolt wouldn't cycle a round into the chamber when I was trying to shoot a moose. From now on, when I have it slung, it rides in front of me.

cajun you and I will get along just great!!!

Cajuns the kind of guy who will loudly show you the perfect fox location outside a restaraunt window while having in lunch in Los Anchorage LOL While the lady sittin inthe next table looks at ya like your half nuts

If I am doing a lot of walking or am going to carry it on my back while on a snowmachine, I have a M6 Scout .22lr over .410 that I carry. .22 isn't good for much besides dispatch, but good enough for me. If I want to shoot small game the .410 works fine although there are obvious range restrictions. The real kicker for the gun, is that it is the nicest gun made to carry on your back. You hardly know it is there. Very light, and short so no barrel to hang up on stuff.

I carry my 17HMR and depending on here I go my .177cal pellet gun, because my 17 is too big for mink and marten.

Alaska what kind of bullets are you shooting out of that hmr?

Alaska, why do you shoot those mink and marten? a hole lot less mess no blood if you thump and pull hearts

I do that when there in a trap, but I run a boat about 20 miles mink trapping on the beach all the way down and have some marten lines running up creeks and I see quite a few mink running down the beach don't see as many marten not in traps but I do see some. I'm using 20gr cci xtp bullets and I have a post on here that shows what happens when they go threw a wolf. The copper jacket separated form the lead but the lead kept going.

I carry a Winchester modle 190 with 22longs

I carry a ruger single 6 on me and a colt ar15 with a 1x5 scope on my back.this takes care of most of my needs.
