A good 2 point sling is what you want. VTAC That said...riding a horse with a rifle slung on your back is going to be super uncomfortable really fast. You want a scabbard. ATV is almost as bad. Put a set of racks on the front of your ATV. Much faster to grab your rifle out of the rack than off your back and soooo much more comfortable. I hunt on my ATV and have tried carrying on my back...no thanks.

Yes, a scabbard would be better. I think the user will quickly find that out. And keep magazine length short. For hunting or pest/predator control, you don't need more than a 10 round mag. If you do try to use a sling, a QD easily adjustable basic sling like the MS3 or MS4 would work best in two point mode. But, I'll bet he will still be fiddling with it the whole time and will opt for some sort of scabbard or ATV rack before it is over.

I use VCAS and VTAC, but I keep the rifle in front. It's not at all uncomfortable if you don't have a big charging handle latch digging into your sternum. I like the rifle VERY tight against my chest. Short magazines are better as they sometimes bang on the saddle horn/swells, but you can get around that if you're attached at the endplate rather than the stock.

Padded VTAC. VTAC is better then the VCAS in adjustability which since you are riding, is most important

I bounce back and forth between the VTAC an VCAS. Neither are perfect, and about every year or so I get sick of one and switch back to the other.

Doesn't your vtac tab run on a sliding loop to keep the tab from flopping around? |

But if you use the tab, you lose the advantage in length of adjustment. |

If you're riding where there are trees/brush you'll be lucky if you don't get jerked off the bike/horse and/or get your neck broken.
Use a scabbard. On your back you'll be tangling it up with branches as you ride by. |
