Abstract
A gun case is provided having rigid walls for vertically storing and transporting a gun having a one or two piece wooden or plastic stock including rear stock and fore stock portions. The gun case includes an upper case portion matable with a lower case portion. First and second resilient cradles having, respectively, first and second U-shaped, angled channels are disposed within the lower case portion. The first U-shaped channel is adapted to support the gun in spaced relation from the walls of the case whereby the first resilient cradle will only engage the rear stock portion. Similarly, the second U-shaped channel is adapted to support the gun in spaced relation from the walls of the case whereby the second resilient cradle will only engage the fore stock portion. At least one lockable strap is preferably provided and is secured to the lower case portion for use in urging the gun into supportive engagement with the first and second cradles when the gun is disposed within the case.
