What's the deal w All Weather Scabbards

Is there one that rolls up into a daypack?
I'm thinking about scrapping the All Weather/Beater Rifle idea and Run the Rifle I got now

Sporting/Walking/Coyote/Deer

Its a 284win SA

While that's normally too much gun to share this with my son, I can make up some "Trail Boss or H4895 Reduced Loads" and keep some full power loads separately

My budgets pretty lame, and by the time you purchase, scope, sight in, tool up to reload for another caliber.......well you guys know the rabbit hole all so well

I run 2.5-8 scope which is kind of a handicap for LR I reckon, but the youngster and myself will need plenty of practice before we shoot beyond 200 or 250yds anyhow

I hoped to try a 2-12x42 on the someday list

Not much for open areas past 350yds in my region anyways

So I figure the kids wants/ we need a daypack setup; keep oil and rags, bore snake, misc. And some type of Scabbard for once the rain and snow starts????
 
Not sure if this helps accomplish what you want or not. But I carry a waterproof cover for my pack. It is always in my pack, rolls up small and the weight is about 4 oz. I use a kuiu set up to strap my rifle to the pack. Lots of different ones out there that would work. Any way in bad weather I simply put the cover over the rifle and pack. I mainly hunt elk in east eastern Oregon and Idaho and this has kept everything dry and good shape in some pretty good rain and snow storms. Good luck.
 
I envision some kind of waterproof zip scabbard/case so the rifle can come out quick

Not a garbage bag (not saying u suggested that)

Thanks tho
Appreciate the response
