With the Eberlestock you can tuck the tail of the scabbard up into the pack and then put your rifle in butt down, I do it when coming down a mountain, I found thats when I don't want the barrel down low as it catches on the ground on really steep stuff or bending down to hop off a ledge (not good). Otherwise on level ground or climbing a mountain I use it extended with the muzzle down and like it that way, if I'm going to take a rest and want to sit I drop the pack.
