At this point and time my best advise to both of you and anyone else that is
getting heated up over this Subject line is to find the Delete Key and use it
and cool down.
This has degenerated far enough and is going no where.
Been there done that ain't worth it.

As for your Question on how I carry my rifle I use all three of the methods
you mention and rotate between them. The horn loop works OK for a while if
the saddle fits the horse well and if ya got enough padding under the saddle
the pressure on the withers has not bothered any of my horses. In fact it is
better for the horse to have the weight up front then to much weight behind
the saddle. Most people ten to put to much weigh behind the saddle from what
I've seen. My bedding goes under the saddle oil cloth and my coat if I'm not
wearing it and saddle bags is all that goes on the back of my saddle now. But
when you get in the trees and brush that is not how you want to carry your
Gun and that's when it comes out of the loop and is in my hand or if I have a
pack horse in two I use the sling and rotate the gun so it is under my arm so
it is no sticking straight up and down on my back getting snagged on things
and trying to pull me off the horse. While doing long rides rotating it
around using all three methods has worked the best for me and the horse. I
have ridden with men that just lay it in there laps and ride but I have found
it to be a pain after a while trying to keep it balanced and with a pack
horse in two a real challenge. It seem that I am always ridding green stock
