What case for extra barrels?
« on: May 29, 2012, 06:46:57 AM »
Ok, I really don't like my rifle cases to be much longer than necessary.  I have a half dozen soft cases that are only 38" long and they work well for my Handi's.  But I need to find something for the extra barrels.  Mine seem to run about 25/26" long with the scope.  I don't want to throw one into a 38" case and have it slide around all over.  I thought I had it solved when I saw some cases for extra TC barrels but they are only 25" total outside to outside.  That might work for a couple with real short scopes on, but will not for most of them.  Any ideas?  44 Man

Dave posted a link to the same case by Allen at SW, I've had one for several years, works great.  ;)

Try looking at some Pool Cue Cases at your local shops .They are available in several different lengths and styles including hard and soft.

I'm currently using "gun-socks" for my two accessory barrels - one from an old shooting mag renewal and one from Cabelas.
However, Bore-stores makes an awfully nice, fairly heavy "pocket", almost like boiled wool.  I have a couple for pistols.

At $9, you can't beat the price.  I think the days of my gunsocks are numbered...
