Carrying Case - Soft

[ShootistJack]

Of course I didn't think to ask you all about carrying cases for long rifles, nor did I even do a search within the forum!
A "dim bulb" interval for sure. Anyway, I searched the internet for 60" carrying cases, as my rifle measures 56.5 inches,
end to end, and for a total cost of $26.74 (I have Amazon Prime) I came across:
https://www.amazon.com/Guide-Rail-Bag-Double-Side-Protective/dp/B08VRCT824/ref=sr_1_2?crid=HXFH2C8QLFN5&keywords=60+inch+guide+rail+case&qid=1654212237&s=hi&sprefix=60+inch+guide+rail+case,tools,99&sr=1-2&th=1
(My three pictures are attached to this post.)
There were other "Guide Rail" soft carrying cases that were more expensive, but as of now I only needed a little padding
and enough length. I'll use this soft case to bring my rifle to the floridafrontiersmen.org event that kicks off at 8:00 a.m.
this Saturday morning. They're at 1000 Fort Meade Rd., Homeland, Florida - about 1 hour and 45 minutes drive from my
home. With that I've decided to stay at an AirBnB on Friday night; it's only about 20 minutes from the shooting range.
What do you all do for soft, long, carrying cases, and what are you doing for strong, protective cases, when those are
called for, such as when air traveling? Thanks as always, for your responses!

Log Cabin Shop. Good cases, good prices, good people.

Great Post - Great Guidance! Thanks a Million!
If I'd been smart enough to ask you all FIRST,
I'd have bought this: Soft Carrying Case, long enough for 60 inch long guns!

Found Unique gun cases when I was looking for something that my 46” barreled Kibler SMR would fit in. Look for their “musket” cases. The additional compartment for a range rod is a nice touch.

I also recommend Unique cases. Great quality, nicely padded and the pocket for carrying a range rod is very handy.

Don't think I would try a soft case for air travel. Crazy crow has a long hard case, but it's not inexpensive .

I double folded an 84 inch wool blanket then stitched it and sewed on a leather tie to make a padded sock for long guns. Has worked so far.

I'm making a list of all of these retailers!

Kibler sells a nice case.

I just roll up this nice big blanket to carry my Mountain Rifle. It works pretty well and it doubles as a rest if need be.

I ordered one from the log cabin shop, a year and a half ago. When I got it it was made by Ace. Looked at Ace website and log cabin was cheaper

I don't think a Soft Case is acceptable for air travel, case must be hard and locked

I have four of the cases by Unique Gun cases. Two 53" and two 58". For air travel only hard cases will do.

My soft cases have been trade wool blanket, canvas and brain tanned buckskin. The sharp points on the buckhorn rear rights tears up the case. May have to sew in a leather reinforcing strip to protect that part of the case. Long rifles take a much longer case and not always available in a hard case.

I agree!

I have several that are all soft except one. A friend made a soft gun sleeve out of a camo blanket several years ago. It fits most all my mine but is only for the woods and car travel.

I may have poorly worded my opening post. I sure do understand that a HARD case is needed for air travel.
So, I am asking about those HARD cases also, not just the the soft cases that we can use in our trucks. And
I really appreciate all of the informative posts that you all have contributed so far, about the soft cases! The
buckskin one "beckons to me" with the most force!
