I have an unbranded leather and baize case I picked up on Ebay years ago for $65. I bought a trade label of the era of my double and enjoy it! It's a toe under style, I would prefer a different style though

I tried those old cases not much on having to take a hunting gun apart to put it on a case. My nicest case is a 52" Mulholland I bought years ago.

Yes, like this one. http://www.jeffsoutfitters.com/Images/Ph...ecial_5xiDH.JPG I kinda like LOM cases, if they're old ones, for old guns. I've got several makes, but the Redheads are usually pretty nice cases. I do use Beretta "socks" to slip the gun in before putting it in the LOM case, tho'.  For the more modern guns I use a maker's "flat case"....................Perazzi, Beretta, FAIR, Dickinson, etc. SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

I stumbled on these Negrini OEM cases which are superior to most of the OEM cases you get from the maker (unless they already use Negrini; I think Perazzi does). I thought it was a fair value. I had no use for the more costly travel-rated cases. https://negrinicases.com/?s=OEM+case&post_type=productBruce

I have about every kind of case there is. They end up in piles in the closet.
Aluminum, floating, toe under, double gun, canvas, LOM,Negrini, plastic, airline, wheeled, car etc.
And by far, my favorite is a 52, cordovan colored, bull hide leather, wool fleece lined, FULL length big brass zippered, shoulder strapped case. The more I use it the better I like it. The leather has a nicely worn look to it now. A little leather cream on occasion, and looks even better.
I hate using slips
I hate dis assembling guns between hunting stops.
The big zipper is just the nuts to me. Makes for easy use. Doesnt rub the barrels going in and out like a slip does. Easily dried. Etc.
Out there doing it best I can.

It is a luggage type case where the toe of the stock is tucked under the muzzle of the barrels. It makes for a slightly more compact case in width than a conventional layout. Length and depth are unchanged. As you can see, there is no one best optimum good for everyman case. I adore two tiered motor cases, but use sip-open slips mostly. DDA
