I was going to bring up the point, but lawnboy beat me to it in his last post: The rifle poses some challenges, since his stated intent is a weapon for hiking and fishing.
He's found a way to sling it that works for him; a back-slung scabbard could be another way to go.
Seems to me, though, if it's an either/or case, the magnum revolver in a Chesty Puller type rig is the easiest to adapt to waders and backpacks. It's also the less likely to be left behind momentarily when one has to answer calls of nature, or cook, cut firewood, etc.
It's nice to have both, but there are more conceivable instances where the rifle would pose logistic challenges.
