    Ran one years ago on an old XR 200, My suggestion get one made to fit your rifle, a good saddler or canvas shop should be able to knock you one up.

    Yes
    That is who made mine above
    Getting good leather is the dificult part - I supplied it in this case (very heavy thick cattle hide too) - but made for rifle without scope
    Still get a rifle with scope in - but its a tight fit

    If you get one made, ask for a block of timber or similar to be put in bottom to prevent the side "grabbing" the barrel and wearing of the blueing. Also helps when you have to tip them up to get the crap out of them that would otherwise go in the muzzle
