I always use a soft case for guns without a scope. I would use soft
are the zippers cheap on those allen cases? wouldnt want one to break.
Just do not store that shotgun in a soft case. The cloth interior will wick oil off the steel and promote rusting.

Good to know ammolab. I do not have a gun safe so I Would be storing this in the case.
So a padded hard case would be the best bet? Thinking about the Plano Protector.

Actually, a soft case can "breath" so to speak, where as a hard case can trap moisture and cause corrosion/rust.
Both types will wick oil, make sure you use a good preservative every few months like CLP and it will keep that pretty wingmaster from rusting. If it's an old one, treasure it. That's back when they really took time to remove machine marks and make smooth actions.

I find soft cases more convient, though I had to go with a hard case on my 11-87 due to the charging handle...

Alternatively, wiping the exterior with a light coat of T9 is a fantactic option since it dries to a waxy film and won't wick.
