Looking for a particular style gun case...

The case in the photos came with a used longrifle I bought...want to get another one but can't find them long enough.  It's a simple, good quality, straight, 62" lightly padded gun case.

The material inside and out is soft, not scratchy...seems to be like soft corduroy and it's the kind of case I'm looking for...not looking for anything in suede, leather, canvas, etc.

I've checked a few BP supply places and searched with Google, but keep coming up empty.
Does anybody know a place that definitely carries them in the lengths that would fit a longrifle?
Thanks

Thanks Dawg...am looking for lightly padded cases...those appear to just be one piece cloth sleeves...thanks anyway.

It may come down to just asking my Wife for some help putting one together...she made my rain cover last year, could basically do the same thing again, just stitch it full length instead of leaving the bottom seam open.
 
In the meantime, still looking for some like the photos in my original post with the durable Corduroy outer cover, 62" long...

(My raincover...cotton duck outer, wool blanket liner)

Worked out a perfect local solution...a good thick piece of boat carpet, soft surface but firm body, to give excellent padded protection for getting to and from a deer stand in the dark...good conservative color and 100% quiet material.

2/3s yard x 80" long was only $8.00;
Cut the size & shape I wanted;
A few bucks for a shoe shop to run a double stitch along the edge;
Turned it inside out and added the tie lace;

Looks great, where did you find the boat carpet, a marina?

No, just a good sized local fabric shop that I knew also had a section big dealing with rolls of indoor/outdoor carpeting, outdoor fabrics for chairs, boat carpet and boat upholstery stuff, etc...wife and I stopped by last week and one of the huge rolls of stuff on the walls was this dark gray mat...tailor made for what I was looking for...

Cabala's has a tough padded zipper long rifle cases.. These cases have a ram rod sleeve and wide pocket for jags flints caps etc. I have a number of these. They are first class as my rifles travel 1000s of miles each year. My Tenn flinter has a 44" Rice barrel and the long case has plenty of room. They have shorter ones for my Yeager. They are made of a black canvas outer shell heavy padding inside. [hmm]
