If you aree ordering on the internet, be careful not to cut the measurement too close. The size you measure may not be the size that fits. I bought one of the nice soft cases with the 6 mag pouches and a seperate storage compartment. It was about $80 plus shipping. Very well made and all, but the problem is that is called a 48 inch case. It measures exactly 48 inches on the outside measurement. The trouble is, that a 45 1/2 " rifle will not it inside and zipper closed.
Something to check to avoid disappointment.
