    Hunting and Fishing do a line of black synthetic ones the larger one is not to bad at all reasonable price good zips 3 pockets one big enough for a suppressor - there is a smaller model with just one small pocket - well worth a look - more than happy with mine

    Allen gun cases. They have a confusing array of models at varying price points, but they seem well built with proper zips. I think we've got 5 different ones in the family now.

    Went to them after getting tired of the zips failing on the cheapies, or the lining fraying and getting caught in the zip from the inside. No complaints with these.

    Tool pro hard case from supercheap when on sale
    I rarely use a soft case now unless weight/volume is an issue

    Check out the soft bags for Tikka rifles - though branded T3 or Tikka on the bags, are a good fit with rifles with big scopes like my 4x12x50. Also appear to have a sturdy side zip pouch that fits the suppressor/bolt/mag etc. I have had my first T3 rifle bag (originals were green) for about 12 yrs now, still going strong. Brought another one last year for a second rifle (bags now black/orange).

    I have a few from Nz outdoor gear as others have suggested good heavy duty canvas or pvc, bloody good. Don’t waste your $ on the branded rubbish from the big hunting stores. Every single one I’ve had in the past has fallen apart in some way, broken zips, stitching giving way, handles breaking etc etc
