The Bulldog BD49242 42" tactical shotgun case is purpose-built for shooters who need reliable protection without the bulk or weight of a hard case. This soft gun case fits most pistol-grip and tactical shotguns, making it a practical choice for range days, training, transport, and storage. The water-resistant nylon exterior guards against weather and rough handling, while the 1.75" foam padding cushions your shotgun against impacts during storage and travel. Whether you're heading to a 3-gun match, the clay course, or stowing your home-defense shotgun between range sessions, this case delivers durable, affordable protection.
The interior is lined with scratch-resistant tricot material that protects your finish from scuffs and wear. A full-length zipper spans the entire case for easy access, and the two external pockets give you room for small gear—spare ammo, choke tubes, range notes, or tools. The hidden elastic shell loops inside keep shotgun rounds organized and within arm's reach, a detail that speaks to real-world use rather than theoretical design.
Bulldog has built its reputation on no-nonsense gun cases that work in the field. This case reflects that ethos: straightforward, functional, and tough enough for the life of a working shooter. Black finish blends in anywhere, and the compact 42" length keeps the case manageable whether you're loading it into a truck bed or stashing it in a safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this case fit my tactical shotgun?
The BD49242 is designed to fit most pistol-grip and tactical shotguns. If your shotgun is 42" or shorter, it should fit; if you have a longer platform or an unusual configuration, measure your shotgun's length to confirm fit before ordering.
What's included in the case for ammunition storage?
The case features hidden elastic shell loops on the inside for organizing and securing shotgun rounds. There are also two external pockets for additional gear, tools, or ammo boxes.
Is this case durable enough for frequent travel and range use?
Yes. The water-resistant nylon exterior, 1.75" foam padding, and scratch-resistant tricot lining are engineered to handle regular transport, storage, and field use. The full-length zipper and reinforced construction ensure the case holds up to repeated opening and closing.
Can I store this case outside or in harsh weather?
The water-resistant nylon provides protection against moisture and light weather exposure, making it suitable for vehicle storage and outdoor conditions. However, prolonged exposure to extreme heat or direct sunlight should be minimized to extend the case's lifespan.
