So I am finally nearing the end of my build and have a couple of questions relating to gun cases, rail covers, and eye and ear protection.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a quality soft rifle case? My rifle is 35in long so a 36" rifle case should be fine but I know down the line I will be grabbing a shotgun and have been considering a 42" case because of that.
I am looking at this 5.11 case on closeout (not too fond of FDE but the price is nice)

They also have a double rifle case but its 36"

I am trying to keep these soft cases fairly inexpensive as I will be buying a lockbox/safe for my house which is where the rifle will be 90% of the time unless I am going to the range at which point it will be in the soft case.
Opinions?
Suggestions?
As for rail covers I have a 12" Daniel Defense Lite Rail and was wondering how many Magpul XTM panels it takes to cover one side of the rail. I know 1 pack (4 panels) covers a carbine so I assumed that it would take 2 packs to cover a 12" rail. Am I right?
Now for ears I am looking at Peltor Tactical Sport Hearing Protector. They seem to get very good reviews at at $70 seem like a good deal.
For eyes its a bit trickier since I wear glasses. Anyone have recommendations for someone who wears glasses? I'd prefer not to have to buy yet another pair of prescription glasses (I have 3 at the moment) but if thats my only choice I am all ears.
