What about a dedicated backpack with a rifle holding compartment ? I’ve seen some whiz bang units that store a decent sized rifle within the side of the pack...

Yep quite a few of them out there mate. I prefer takedowns so I can stow the gun competely crossing roads or moving through national park etc.

What about a custom ? Taking a cheapish .22 to a gunsmith and asking them to fabricate / incorporate appropriate bracketry to suit, where the mid cuts would no doubt eventuate?
Just throwing darts here, but I’d think as long as they retain the intent of any applicable law - some that I know would relish the challenge because it’s “different”...

You could mate or also use one of the existing ones. Winchester 62/Rossi 62, various lever actions will takedown as well.
