Shotgun Case Pattern

[rktaylor]

I am planning to build a shotgun case (or 2). I have the pattern pack from Springfield leather, but don't want the full length zipper. I have seen a few cases online that I like better, but no patterns. Am I stuck making my own pattern?

Also, I would like to make a case for a bolt action rifle with scope. I have seen plans for scabbards, but not cases. Can I leave the bolt in place inside the case or should it be removed? I am a gun novice.

Thanks for any tips.

Tandy has their patterns for free. Check this one and see if it is what you want

Thanks. I must have missed that in my search.

The Tandy pattern also has a full length zipper, but I like the bottom plug at the barrel end. Thanks,

Gun laws would dictate that, they are different in all states and there may be some that require it, I would make a pocket for it just in the chance it goes to one of those states or just if the owner wants to carry it removed or even to carry other tools with their rifle. Here in Wyoming it doesn't matter I leave it in to keep the action and bolt clean.
