i am looking for a case for both very short and also sorta long trips. by short i mean covert hopping, making 5-15, maybe 20 minutes max, get out and hunt for a short period of time, then saddle back up and hop to the next covert. i have been using canvas cases with very thick piling in it, unzipped, behind the rear seat of my truck.
for long, serious trips i use double, full length aluminum cases. they are heavy and i trust them immensely, but i don't like to monkey with them if i am not driving a fairly long ways. the canvas case behind the seat is so much easier o use, being far quicker to get a gun in and out.
so now i have a couple of guns that are nicer than any shotgun i have owned. my philosophy on life is the more i spend on something, the harder and more i use it. i want to be sure i get my money's worth out of it. with these guns i want to use them hard, but not beat them up unnecessarily. i don't want to carry the aluminum cases with me, but i also want something more protective than the cordura cases. the good gun has an oak and leather case and the second tier gun has a leather case, but i don't want to break them down all of the time.
so what about about full length leather cases? are they the happy medium i am looking for? i was looking at the ones that could be buckled together, allowing me to carry 2 guns (always have a back-up!) but it would be less cumbersome than the big aluminum cases.
any advice?
thanks!
