Whenever I schlepp my heavy-barrelled varmint guns or other rifles, they are always carried muzzle-down on the weak-side (left) shoulder and the rifle lays somewhat across my left shoulder blade. This protects the scope from being hit, the muzzle in case you fall and from having to thread the barrel through the brush ahead of you as you walk.
I can get a rifle into action fairly quick with this type of carry.
If I have to walk through thick brush etc, the left hand snugs the gun against me and the muzzle points back and down.
The only part of my rifles that seem to get snagged are the harris bipod legs. But I can live with it.
Some folks will carry a rifle at port arms but I try not to due to the possibility of tripping in the woods.
