I went to home depot found a black cordura one w/padded belt for $11, used it with my encore hunting coyotes last weekend and it worked great.  The only problem I had was since the barrel hung down unprotected I had to be careful and pull the gun out before sitting down or snow was pushed into the barrel.  The velcro strap even lined up with the trigger guard so I could strap it in.  If someone tells me how to post a pic I'll post pic's of it.

it is simple to post a picture.
1) you need to up load the picture to a photo hosting website (I use http://www.villagephotos.com/ because it is easy and free)

2) open a new message or post a reply ( like we all do to put on here)

3) look under the subject line to see a bunch of Little boxed

4) click on the 8 th little box ( img) and a few lines of text will shot up in the message box and a little * will show inside the "img" box beside the words

5) type in ( or better yet cut and past) the address of your picture ( given to you from the photo hosting web site)

6) click on the Little box with " IMG*) in it.

7) preview the post and see if it works.

upnorthbacon,
just sent you a PM that says about the same thing rickyp said, only I used the 'close tags' button instead of clicking the 'Img' button a second time, and the hunt101 website for hosting.

Upnorthbacon,
 If any of what they told you make's sense,,,,, go for it,, but it took me a while to figure it out. If you want the picture posted pronto send it to me @ Benchrest300wm@aol.com and I'll post it for you while you try to figure out which hosted sight you want to go with.

I picked up one of these from a Harbor Freight Store last weekend.  Seems to work ok. My super14" .22 with a Leopold 2x scope fit in quite nicely. It did tip forward a bit, but stayed in securely, and the strap snapped to hold it in. Not too bad for less than the cost of a cheap lunch.

Yep, I'd like to see a picture of the "holster".  I am not familiar with the cordless drill holster.  May have to check it out at a local discount store?BCB

Photobucket.com makes it easy. Load a picture in their website then copy and paste the url under the picture.
