Soft long case for Browning Citori 725?

valkabit6 · July 1, 2017, 11:46 AM

Looking for a good soft case where I don't have to break the gun down, I'd rather clean the gun at home.

I have a good quality soft case, but the Citori is a snug fit, and I'm worried about the zipper rubbing on the top in the chamber area. The case is from Battle Lake, it's very good quality, and my pump guns fit in the case very well, just not the Citori

I had one with 32" tubes on it. I used a padded case without a zipper. It had a flap closure on the end and velcro with a plastic buckle. Easy to put in and no marks on gun. They're pretty common and easy to find. Had a nice shoulder strap also.

Wild Hare, Bob Allen, Browning, Beretta, and a host of others all make a soft case. Determine what the current length is and go one size larger if it is too snug.

Add Boyt to the list, too. They're good.

Using a typical Browning fitted hardcase...doesn't hurt anything.../ doesn't get anything on the case...and you need to take the gun apart to clean it anyway....

But if you want a soft case...Browning makes some good ones...

The nice part of a soft case vs a hard case is that at a shoot you can carry your gun around in the case using the attached sling. Keeps the stock from getting dinged up from flying pieces of clay and other shooters who aren't paying attention to where their muzzle is.

I have a Boyt. I believe, but check, they come in different lengths.
