I'm getting my Buff's hide tanned and making a few gun cases with it. I prefer wool Sherpa liner (absorbs moisture and is durable) This isn't available and my choices are: soft suede, fleece or canvass. Any recommendations for rifle and shotgun bags? Keep in mind that I live and hunt in Ohio where moisture is a thing. Thanks
 
Could be my ignorance here, but wouldn’t the fleece option be the closest to your desired lining?

Fleece in this regard is a thin fabric. But a fleece berber would work. I’ll ask

Why isn’t the wool sheepskin available? It’s easy to come by. I usually order 20 to 30 of those at a time whenever I make my orders. I would also consider a heavy compressed wool felt liner as well, it’s durable and offers good protection . I too would roll with the real deal if given the choice.
 
Any recommendations on makers who are familiar building a sheepskin lined gun case with our own skins? Im sitting on a few back hides Id like to utilize As well.

I can give you a long list of capable builders.

I could help you out, but I’m in the middle of building a new saddle shop now. I’m hoping for an August completion, but more realistically it’s going to be November. Then I’m backlogged a little on other orders.
 
Any gun case makers in Texas? I've got some skins on hand and hopefully some croc and hippo next year.

looking for 300 h & h flanged ammo
Looking for shipping advice. I will be hunting in Limpopo in March, and was wanting to know a general idea of shipping costs to return my mounts to the US when completed. Air or sea? Only plains game hunting.

Good morning 7MAG. I have a NEW, never mounted, Leupold M8-4X Extended Eye Relief scope that I will sell you for $325 shipped to you. I was a Leupold rep for 12 years and this was always our preferred mounting for a lever gun, scout rifle style.

You’ve got an interesting screen name. Will the Thrill provided lots of great times for me as a lifelong Giants fan. Even though I never met him, a number of buddies either duck hunted or shared a dugout with him. He’s a great guy according to those guys. Cool screen name and if that’s your real name, it’s a great one.
