For "light" travel a couple of LoM cases. For airline or bed of the truck with a ton of gear I have a bullet proof, heavily padded double SKB case that's TSA approved and locks securely. It's heavy, a pain, but the guns are safe.

I have dozens of leg of mutton cases, almost as many trunk cases, and still have a half dozen aluminum airline approved cases from my competition days. None of these cases has been out of the house in years except to take them to a show to sell them.

So, Joseph, have we addressed your question?

Yes, sound like the "LOM" is proffered.
But the full zipper OAL padded case wins, with the ready to go if the field.

The "VH" & the "REM 1894" [Damascus barrels], presently use that type.

Of COURSE, if there a INSANELY priced offers from the PGCA members , that's a different idea.

Thanks.

When I'm going hunting I use a full length zipper case. When going to a SXS shoot I use a soft take down case such as those by Boyt. For transporting a hammer gun I use a LOM or a trunk case.

For hunting who honestly cares, the case isn't shooting the bird. I am a fan of the canvas zippered "leg of mutton" style cases where I can chuck 6 guns on the seat and carry them all at once to my destinatino/cabin. My biggest mistake was not buying 100 of these when they were on sale years ago for $19.99

This is likely the style case original owners carried Trojan to Quality PH guns in.

Virtually all of my doublegun travels have been with an Americase. Put a sticker on it that says "Survey Equipment - Handle with Care", or something similar.
