Long rifle case recommendations
« on: April 03, 2025, 05:07:18 PM »
Hi all, I’m looking for recommendations for a long rifle case that is around 60”. I’m having trouble finding one that will fit my 57” Leyman/Kentucky style rifle. Soft sided style preferred, but hard case would be ok too. I have a leather sleeve for it, but want something sturdier that I can throw in my car to travel with. Not going to fly, so it doesn’t need to be Ft. Knox. Pic for attention.

I have two Unique cases, top notch workmanship. If you get one get it longer than a perfect fit, my 62 is a tight fit with my 42" barrels but I can zip them up. I bought a 66" next that easily holds anything I have.

The Unique Case 66” cases are super for a 42” barrel gun. I had heard they were out of business but am happy to see they are not.  Really heavy duty nylon construction and great zipper.  The cleaning rod pouch on the side is a really really great feature.  It looks like Kibler’s case wisely includes that as well.

reddoge, That case looks nice, but I really appreciate the rod holder pouch on the side of the others shown here.  I would pay more for that functionality.

The Log Cabin Shop has long padded cases, reasonably priced.

Another recommendation for Unique Cases. I have quite a collection of them. They are thick, well padded and very well made.

Your rifle certainly deserves protection.

For transporting to the range and back I just use homemade wool blanket cases which were originally made for bows.
