Jon,
I agree with you and the use you put your LOMs to. I use mine for transport to SD each year just to save space in the Excursion. I then use a gun slip during the day. LOMs do look pretty cool though!!

RWTF, Those canvas and leather cases where very common back in those days. There was even one that would strap into the frame of a boys bicycle and hold a take down 22 rifle. Like a Stevens favorite. This way when you rode home from school you could hunt...ahh the good old days...

Sorry, that does sound strange. What they are is a two sock set that is designed to hold the buttstock and action in one sock and the barrel/forend in the other. They're appropriately sized to do so. There are drawstrings on each, at the open end, which you can see in the pic you referenced showing my SuperFox partially out of the LOM case.

Someone here turned me on to them, and I ordered some just for the LOM cases. I think I found them on the Beretta site. If you can't find them let me know and I will try to find where I ordered them from.

Best, SRH

I will certainly look Stan. Thanks.

Check out this bad baby....made back when Bianchi gun leather was top of the line. Sheep shearling lined and will accommodate a 32 inch barrel.

Only the second one I've ever crossed paths with.

LOM cases do indeed look cool. Other cases may give better protection. Often it�s a trade off of function for weight and size. My metal cases are like tanks but they weigh a ton. I hate using them for anything but long trips. A soft case or LOM case are much easier to use but not much protection.

My son uses a baseball/softball bag as a soft transport case. Protects against minor damage in the truck for short trips. People who see it think baseball not shotgun which is another type of protection. We call it camouflage security. People see something and just know what they are seeing even if it�s an apppe not an orange.
