Leather scope case

[Iclimb]

Ok, I was wondering if anyone has commissioned leather maker to build a scope case for their removable scope?

Thinking the classic type case…I think they were shearling lined and meant to fit your scope and rings once removed.
Most certainly the early ones were euro or German, not sure. I’m sure people know more about them than I but I was wondering about having one made by a leather maker.
Just curious if anyone had info or pics? Love to hear about it. Thanks

Haven’t had one made but do have a couple original ones.
These are just leather with no lining.
I think you may run into snagging issues if you get one fleece lined at least I’m sure you would with old claw mounts - maybe some new designs are sleeker and wouldn’t snag but I’d do a little testing before committing to a lining.

10-4 yeah probably true, seems like I’ve seen them lined with that. I was thinking more of a suede lined.

Probably because most of the only thing like it today would be a wine bottle holder, those pics are probably where I got the lining in my mind. I sure think having one would make sense for a removable scope.

I use a Maxpedition tactical scope case that is padded and has belt loops, with a zipper,..sure a sling could be fashioned. I only use it for transport

Oh absolutely more practical solutions, no question.
I just like that classic look and I also love leather and the patina/memories it collects

I go to Etsy for my custom-made leather goods. There are many leather craftsmen who will make bespoke items. Between leather vests, rifle cases and knife sheathes, I've yet to be disappointed.

I got a leather one on Ebay shipped out of India for about $40 plus shipping. It is not lined, but thick enough leather, with a buckle and strap to adjust slightly for length. I'm very happy with it and may order another in the next little while since you brought it to my attention. Good luck.
