About as long as Ive hunted, Ive always brought a second gun. Many hunts are 2+ hours each way and I never wanted to ruin the day with a gun malfunction even though it would be very rare. I have always carried them in separate cases/sleeves but Im looking at two gun cases for convenience. Ive narrowed it down to a motor case from Jeffs or a Negrini. Obviously a significant price difference but what would you chose and why?

I would stick with two cases.
For years, I muscled a 2 gun Americase around.
No more.

Be classic, I have a oak and leather Woodward case for 2 guns.
I learn something every day, and a lot of times it's that what I learned the day before was wrong

Two gun cases are just too heavy for anything but display...Geo

I think the 2 gun oak and leather type cases were used when a shooter had others carry his equipment. Hunting in a car or suv with a two gun case is really a pain--awkward at best, damaging the car or things around the case at the worst.

Two gun trunk cases were likely devised in a time when traveling aristocrats, or other wealthy, took trips by train. The two guns were protected against all but the worst baggage handlers, and as said by another, not carried by the owner himself. I've never seen the practicality for American hunters, traveling or otherwise. When I fly with guns they are in something much more substantial than an oak and leather case.
YMMV, SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

I have two 2 gun cases....leg of mutton style except the whole case is an even, rectangular shape. Opens at both ends, one gun accessible from each end. Love them! When I hunt I always bring at least one spare gun. The case holds the gun I intend to use and the gun I may have to use. Easy access for the gun of choice. Compact. Stable on the bed of my SUV.
I would never use them to fly, nor would I use any of my leather or canvas and leather take down cases. For flying I have heavy duty aluminum cases.

Canvasback, that would be an Elliott case. They are very elegant.

Thank you Eightbore. I have wondered what their proper name was. Absolutely love them from the first time I used one.

I appreciate the feedback. This definitely wouldnt be used for anything other than car travel. I have to admit I didnt give total weight much thought but were talking two 6-6 1/2 lb guns for most trips.
