How do you carry your rifle

Do you carry your rifle muzzle up or down? I've found muzzle down much quicker get 'on target' when using sticks, but prefer muzzle 'up' when on the hill.

what do you guys do?
 
If loaded muzzle down and forwards if slung, or in crook of arm. I want to be able to see where that muzzle is pointing all the time.
 
I prefer muzzle up, but the big, fat, heavy mod often means I end up carrying muzzle down as it drives me nuts constantly adjusting the sling on my shoulder
 
I have a Sauer 202 in 243 without a moderator which I carry muzzle down with muzzle taped. I also have a Mannlicher Pro Hunter in 308 which has a moderator which I carry muzzle up (also taped at muzzle) as I find the extra length with the moderator means it is more liable to get knocked or hit the ground when climbing slopes etc.

Overall preference is to carry muzzle down as it is easier to mount and also less likely to get caught on overhead branches etc.
