As a follow up, I've just completed an oak and leather case for this gun. Started with a 1" x 4" x 8' red oak board which I planed to 3/8" thickness, a sheet of 1/4" oak plywood, and a square shoulder of 7 ounce cow hide. I've tried to "antique" the leather to make it look right for the age of the gun. Over all, I'm pretty happy with the way that it turned out. I was also able to pick up a Kahles 2 1/2x steel scope which looks "right" with this gun. Still working on the rings issue.
