Hello fellow collectors,
I recently acquired a vintage Winchester rifle case and I’m hoping someone here might recognize the model or have insight into its production era. It’s a soft case made of green padded canvas with Brown leather accents at both ends and a Brown handle. There’s a stitched leather patch near the handle with the “WINCHESTER” name and a decorative emblem.
It has a rugged, classic look—possibly from the 1970s to 1990s—but I haven’t been able to find a match online or in catalogs. I’d love to know:
• When and where these cases were sold
• Whether they were part of a specific Winchester accessory line
• Any tips on tracking down another one
I’ve attached a photo below for reference. If anyone has seen this style before or owns one, I’d be grateful for any details you can share.
Thanks in advance—and as always, I appreciate the collective knowledge.
Best,
Bill

Welcome, Bill! That case looks like a version of the well-made Boyt cases but dates to a time when mass-merchandisers were selling just about anything with the Winchester name from tents to pocket knives.

Thank you Mike. The case is very well made, that is why I was looking for another one.

I have one exactly like it except it does not say Winchester. It has the Pachmayr insignia instead. Inside there is a tag that says Bob Allen, Des Moines, Iowa. So to make it more confusing I used to visit a the Boyt Harness store in Iowa, a Bob Allen store in Des Moines and shoot at a Pachmayr range in California. I do know I bought it in 1993 when I bought a new shotgun and it is a very good bag.
Check out the Boyt Harness store online.

Thank you Chuck; I checked there store, and I think you are correct. Will contact them and see if it’s possible to have the ‘Winchester’ Logo added to a new bag. If not will keep looking for another one. Thanks Again; Bill
