Do you routinely use a trunk case, as opposed to a padded “sleeve” a la Boyt?

A good ol' leg o' mutton case is appropriate most of the time and I have several, but I often get lazy and use my padded single or double full length cases.

For hunting trips a full-length case is the only answer. Anything take-down is just an aggravation and time waster.

You’re right about the full length case. Which do you use?

I probably have at least fifty, anything from the "Black Rhino" down to the late 1930s vintage canvas & leather ones from J. Warshal's Sporting Goods in Seattle that were my father's.

Super duper, love that old canvas case! Very special that it came from your Dad.

90% of my doubles (S X Ss and O/Us) reside in LOM and takedown cases, but are transported to and from hunting, and the range, in a variety of full length soft cases. I don't really fret over the soft cases being "appropriate" for the vintage doubles, being more concerned with their ability to protect the guns inside. Modern materials and construction often trump aesthetics. As an example, my vintage duck guns ride in a boat to the blind in a floating, waterproof soft case that just happens to be camo. Duck boats, and retrievers, can be rough on nice old guns.

My first Parker was purchased from a B17 WWll pilot who had a gun store when I was about 22 or 23. It came in a Redhead LOM case which I thought was way cool at the time but he warned me about breaking it down every time I took it out to use. He was right. I use one of many canvas, cloth, padded cases with the gun in a sock that I've accumulated of my time with guns.
