Brian, have you checked the contemporary site for info/builders hunting bags?

 Several forum members have bags for sale there and might get you some ideas anyway.

Brian,
This is my idea of a rifleman's bag for a Southern / Tennessee style rifle.
It is constructed of American Bison with my rendition of aging.  Maybe this idea will help.
