The Boyt Harness OGC98PL06 Alaskan rifle case delivers premium protection for scoped rifles with its rugged 48-inch waxed canvas construction. This heavy-duty case combines traditional craftsmanship with practical field performance. The quilted flannel interior provides cushioned protection while brass hardware ensures long-term durability.
What Makes This Different
Unlike synthetic cases that crack in cold weather, the waxed canvas construction maintains flexibility in extreme temperatures while repelling moisture. The brass hardware resists corrosion better than standard steel components. At 48 inches, this case accommodates most hunting rifles with scopes, including bolt-actions up to 46 inches overall length. The quilted flannel padding distributes impact forces across the rifle's surface rather than creating pressure points.

Field testing shows the waxed canvas exterior sheds water effectively while remaining breathable to prevent condensation buildup. The case maintains its protective qualities in temperatures from -20°F to 120°F. Hunters report the flannel lining prevents scope adjustments from shifting during transport over rough terrain. The brass zippers operate smoothly even when exposed to dirt and moisture.
