    Probably so you can reach behind, pull it out and shoulder it quickly.

    Yep. I don't have one but I reckon it is so you can reach back and grab on to the right end of it for taking it out and sending off a shot.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Yes, true. But from the comments in this thread most people made it sound like a debacle to "draw" the rifle out of various holsters, which was why the Vorn came up.

    So is it not that big of a deal after all to just grab the stock and whip it out quickly?

    Na, it could be tricky with a big long rifle i guess but i don't own a big long rifle so its not a problem.

    A long rifle is easier to grab as it sticks up higher. Most big long rifles however aren't best suited to offhand snap shooting...

    If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more

    Simple answer is that the rifle shouldn't be in the scabbard in the first place so shouldn't be an issue which way round the rifle is. If you carry the rifle in the scabbard all the time I guess you have to accept that you might loose some opportunities as a result (i.e. walking in/out of hunting area). So I either carry the rifle in my hand if I'm sneaking about (and probably don't have one of these packs on my back in this case) or I'm purposely looking for animals further away and being ready for them or shooting at range so it doesn't matter if it takes an extra couple seconds to get the rifle out...
