Doug -
Your setup sounds way better for active shooting with the SL/400 rig.
I spent as much as I did on the lens on having custom designed sheaths
built for that purpose; none of them really made it.
I'll tellya, though, in the improvised casing I described the
inch-and-a-half of foam wrapped around the lens (plus an equivalent
disc in the bottom of the tubular bag) really gives me the confidence
to throw the thing around in transit...

slip in & out easily.
My solution was a home-made custom-fitted sleeve of padded cloth with
a cut-out for the shoulder stock; a fastex buckle at the open end of
the cut-out holds the sleeve on the lens. Any time I need the lens I
unclip the buckle, let the sleeve drop off, and it's ready to go! A
camera can stay on the lens when it's sleeved: the camera also has a
padded cover, this one secured with a couple strips of Velcro. A tug
on the bottom flap and the camera's cover is off. It keeps the camera
and lens protected from mist, light rain, moderate dust, and the bumps
and scrapes normally encountered when hiking, bushwhacking and rock
clambering, keeping it accessible within a second or two.
