Now that the Chinese have cheapened all the hard cases to about the thickness of a Kleenex box, I'm actually moving back into soft cases. There is very little in the market now for Hard cases between 30 bucks and 125 that interest me...

This case lated up till last year with the zipper letting go. It would cost more to fix than the buy a new one.

PA	After having a problem with surface rust on a gun I swear was put away dry a couple of years ago while on a 3 week long hunting road trip (CA to Colorado to Texas then return to CA). I switched to SKB Dry-Tek Cases, they feature an organic fabric system that lets moisture evaporate, while not allowing water in during transport (from website). All I know and care is that I havent had that problem since! Ted

It has thick padding and takes up near the room of a small hard case, but it protects the rifle well through the rigors of an out of state hunt. Very good reviews on Midway as well: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/939127599/midwayusa-pro-series-scoped-rifle-case

Mine have held up very well over the years. And, it's got a good heavy-duty zipper instead of a junky one that gets all screwed up by dirt and such.
