Shotgun case options to carry spare barrel?

[Darius72]

I have an 870 magnum with both the shot barrel and the slug barrel. What do you guys think are my best options for a case that will hold the gun and the spare barrel together, preferrably easily obtainable and the cheaper the better of course.

Thanks for your time.

Like a 2 gun, gun case? I have a case that is meant to hold to scoped rifles. I can hold my 870 and another shotgun plus my slug barrel.

I was thinking something more like an oversized soft case with a padded spare barrel tube. Do they make such a beast?

I don't need anything as big as a 2 gun case, the case would only be for the 870 and slug barrel. I don't have plans for optics on it. And everything else I have, has a case already and wouldn't make a good roommate with the 870.

What do you guys think of this case? Would it do what I need?

They're cheap enough that they work as a utility case. Not particularly good for "access" as in like a "scabbard" for the gun in a truck.

If I wanted "access" in a case, like behind the seat in a truck, I'd opt for a standard zipper case, kydex. You don't really need to stow the sexond barrel for carry.

I had though of those, but all the ones around here are contoured and I didn't think the extra barrel would fit. I'm looking mostly for storage, and for when I go to the outdoor range with the guys, its easier to haul down the hill, than the big cardboard box. 5-6 times a year we spend an afternoon making confetti with all our guns. I'm not looking for anything quick access or to be left in my Rav4. I'll keep serching for the plain black rectangle though, it's really what I was looking for, and was kinda shocked when Gander Mtn, 2 Walmarts, and 2 Meijers, didn't have one.

I picked a long rifle case at Big5 Sporting Goods for $18. It works great and there's plenty of room for a spare barrel. It's a hard plastic case with foam padding. Nothing sexy but it's sufficient.

I bought a case for my boy that has a pocket on the side to slide the extra barrel into. I forget the maker and where I bought it but I KNOW they make them.
