Model: 38056 • UPC: 820451360863
When the marsh turns mean and boats get bouncy, protect your shotgun with the Mud River Deluxe Floating Gun Case (Habitat). Purpose-built for waterfowlers, this full-length soft case combines closed-cell flotation, a water-resistant Habitat camo shell, and impact-dampening padding to guard your gun from knocks, mud, spray—and even a surprise dunk. From the predawn boat ride to the icy slog back to the truck, the Deluxe Floating Case keeps your shotgun safer, cleaner, and easier to carry.
Why Waterfowl Hunters Choose the Mud River Deluxe Floating Case
It Floats: Buoyant closed-cell foam helps keep case + shotgun on the surface long enough for recovery if it slips overboard.
Habitat Camo Exterior: Tough, water-resistant shell blends into cattails, bulrush, and timber while shrugging off grime and abrasion.
Full-Length Protection: Generous padding shields the receiver, rib, and muzzle from bangs in boats, sleds, and pits.
Weather-Ready Hardware: Corrosion-resistant zipper with large pull for gloved hands; storm-flap design helps shed splash and sleet.
Carry Comfort: Adjustable shoulder strap and reinforced grab handle simplify long walk-ins, boat ramps, and ladder climbs.
Barrel & Choke Friendly: Extended interior accommodates typical field barrels and many extended chokes (verify your OAL).
Dries Fast, Cleans Easy: Materials resist waterlogging; wipe down after the hunt and hang to air-dry.
Floating performance varies with gun weight, optics, and accessories. Always test buoyancy with your actual setup.
Built for the Realities of the Marsh
The Deluxe Floating Gun Case is engineered for hard, wet use: tidal slop, freezing rain, and muddy levees. The Habitat camo exterior resists snags from decoy bags and brush, while the padded interior helps protect delicate parts like fiber-optic beads, vent ribs, and receiver finishes. The oversized zipper pull and strap hardware are glove-friendly and built to keep working when the mercury drops.
Ideal Use Cases
Duck & Goose Hunts: Flooded timber, sheet water, rice fields, layout or pit—keep mud and spray off your shotgun.
Boats & Kayaks: Extra security if a wave, dog, or decoy line sends the case overboard.
Snow, Sleet & Slop: Minimize moisture on metal surfaces to reduce corrosion risk between sets.
Travel & Off-Season: Padded protection for range trips, gunsmith visits, and closet storage.

Pro Tips for Maximum Protection
Rinse & Dry: After saltwater or silty hunts, rinse the zipper and shell; air-dry fully to prevent corrosion and mildew.
Add a Tag: Mark your case with a name card—handy around crowded ramps and lodge mudrooms.
Check Buoyancy: Test float with your exact shotgun + choke so you know how the case behaves in real conditions.
Stage Smart: Keep the zipper end oriented away from splash for fewer water intrusions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the case fully waterproof?
The shell is water-resistant, not a dry bag. It’s designed to shed rain and spray and to float—always dry your firearm thoroughly after use.
Will it fit a 28–30" barrel with an extended choke?
Typically yes, but measure your overall length to confirm. Very long tubes or tall sights may require a longer case.
Can I carry it cross-body?
Yes—the adjustable shoulder strap allows cross-body or over-the-shoulder carry; use the grab handle for tight quarters.
How buoyant is “floating”?
Closed-cell foam provides float assistance; actual float time depends on total weight and water conditions. It’s a recovery window, not a life jacket.
Care & Maintenance
Cleaning: Wipe with mild soap and water; avoid harsh solvents.
Zipper Care: After muddy/salty hunts, rinse and dry; a quick pass with a dry silicone cloth keeps it smooth.
Storage: Hang open in a dry, ventilated place; ensure the interior is completely dry before long-term storage.
