These three just seemed right together. I recently bought this display case from Amazon. Really nice quality, but I do wish the back ground cloth in the case was a lighter color. Anyway, my Henry Big Boy (.357), my Ruger GP100 Match Champion, and my Buck 120 fit inside perfectly. The case does lock, but it only keeps honest people honest.

Very nice
 
Very nice. I want to do something like that with combat knives I’ll never use, a Bowie, a Kukuri, an Viet Nam era pilot survival and a USMC WW2 CaseXX. All with sheaths. I can’t conceive of a situation where I’ll ever use any of um but they are dear to my heart.
 
Octagonal barrel on the Big Boy? Always thought highly of the Henry rifles, although I've never had a practical use for one. They sure are easy to admire if nothing else.

Yes, it's quite a heavy beast - but shooting .357 through it feels like shooting a Ruger 10/22.
On the other hand, shooting .357 through the GP100 Match Champion feels like shooting .357. I thought about getting some rubber grips for it, but it just looks so nice with the stock wood grips. I typically just shoot .38 special through it anyways.
PS: I've had the Henry and the Ruger for a few years now. I decided to finally get a case for them because they look to good to just sit in my gun safe all the time.

I completely agree.

I was considering the snubby 2.5 inch barreled GP100/.357 for a carry pistol during archery season here in Illinois as the occasional pics of catamounts on game cameras is being seen with increasing frequency. However, the IDNR does not allow legal concealed carry while bow hunting.
 
Very nice display case for some very nice knives and firearms. Get yourself a pair of Uncle Mikes shooting gloves - a pair really tamed a Ruger Redhawk 45 Colt when shooting John Taffin loads. OH
