Takedown case or LOM?
 

So I've been debating, takedown case or Leg of mutton for my GH? I can't seem to decide, both would look good. What would you decide?

Get both of them of course! You should not limit your Parker shotguns to a single case, Big no no, Huge mistake! How many pairs of shoes do you have? You should treat your vintage shotguns at least as good as your feet. Just my opinion.:)

I agree you need both. I like the vintage look and functionality of the LOM. But as a display or ease in actually viewing the gun, the takedown case is the better choice. If I were shipping a gun, I think the takedown would also be the better choice. If I had to choose one, it would be takedown.

I have both in use currently. The Parkers in the LOM cases I seldom look at. The three I have in take down cases sit on top of my desk most of the time and I open them frequently. I like them both, but for actually getting a look at the gun the break down cases are more convenient.

I have both,

I find myself using the takedown (although they both require taking the gun down) more than the LOM. For me it is easier to put a gun in or take it out of the case and the takedown case is a more stable place to set an assembled gun

in the end, its just personal preference -

Takedown.

By takedown, I assume you mean a trunk case? Since technically an LOM would also be a takedown case.

my assumption as well

Trunk or mutton are the options. Yeah, I got to work on nomenclature!

I would also recommend both. The trunk case for display and storage in the gun room but the LOM for transporting to and from hunts or shoots. I would never recommend storing a nice double in a closed LOM for long periods of time for the simple fact that a lot of the old LOMs have cotton cloth lining and can hold moisture and promote rust.
