I figured I'd share my experience and products I've found for those who are like me and want a nicer case for their firearms but don't want to or can't spend the money to get something professionally done. I am not really handy at all, and with the ability many have on here I'm sure yours could look alot better!
Awhile back, I was oogling Case Club cases and decided to try my hand at making my own. Ended up a little rough around the edges but functional. I used a Plano All Weather XL Pistol case and 2 layers of 57mm Kaizen foam. For those not familiar, Kaizen foam is made of thin layers of closed cell polyethylene foam glued together. This is the cheapest place I've found it:

So, time went by and I ended up upgrading several of my rifle cases from the cheap Plano cases. I recently bought one of their 52" All Weather Rifle Cases at their outlet store for $49 (killer deal!) and ordered this foam from Case Club via Amazon:

It's similar to the Kaizen foam but the layers don't seperate so you have to cut all the way through. This is what I ended up with for my Savage 10. For a total investment of $100 between the case and foam, it's hard to beat. Looks nicer and will last alot longer than the pick and pluck.
Pretty soon, I'm going to order 2 more sheets of Kaizen to do cases for my AR and Weatherby Vanguard.
