    I had a special set of dry bays made by "Twin needle" to slip the parts in to when taken apart and the scope is off.
    They slot nicely into the side straps on my pack and the scope is tucked inside in its neoprene cover.

    Niggeloh does a very nice sling that has two cartridge holder loops built into the bottom end of the foam strap part. Very nice product and there are always a couple of cartridges handy.

    Once you get a load sorted its just go hunting. No bedding, no tinkering just go hunting.
    When I hunt alone there is always one in the chamber and its very fast to cock and shoulder in one motion. @stug I hope you like it when it arrives.
    But Im not sure about the one rifle idea, personally.
    I use a couple of R93s for the basic handy meat hunting and have the luxury of being fussy about what I shoot when Im away in the alps and trophy hunting and thats when the K95 gets used. Its covered a lot of country with me and doesn't often get fired.
    I guide ( for koha ) a few overseas visitors each year and don't really need to carry a rifle ( they always have my R93s ) but just can't bring myself to not have the K95 on my shoulder even if Im unlikely to use it.

    These custom dry bags made by Twinn Needle sound like the go! Do they offer your K95 much protection or are they more just to keep your k95 dry. Any chance of a photo of the bags with your rifle in it? Thanks

    Close up of bag, butt and Niggeloh sling showing cartridge loops and small dome closer pouch thats good for a range chart.

    Bags with rifle stowed. 3 full roll downs to close and loops on edges to put pack side compression straps through for extra safety.

    And another helpful tip for K95 owners ( and other oil finished wood stocks ) is to use "Scherell's Premium Gold" stock oil before and after hunts.
    Its the best stock oil I have found. Keep the rag in an air tight jar between use and you don't waste any wetting a new rag every time.
    My stock is still in relatively good condition despite the abuse its had over the last 10 years.

    Cheers
