I have the same combo set but I only keep the 28" on it. I use this:

because I mostly waterfowl hunt, and it floats/has an ammo pocket. Its a bit long so the nose bend if you set it down on that end, but the gun fits snug side to side and is guickly pulled out when I get to a spot.
You should never store your gun in a case like this though. THey can't breath, so moisture builds up and causes rust. I store mine in a sock like this:

Shit's gonna dry out, maybe it's good if it doesn't get bumped, I'm not knowledgeable enough to know.
I do know milsurps and they always come soaked in a thick grease, I would say the modern equivalent is white lithium grease, like Tetra Gun grease... they have instructions for long term storage.
Me, I use Lucas Extreme Gun oil where oil is needed and Tetra Gun Grease everywhere else and then it goes in a rifle sock that then goes in a safe with a renewable dessicant and lastly a no rust vapor capsule. Make sure you cycle your gun every few months when you check on your lube.
As far as ammo is concerned, it depends what he shoots - $60 is probably not going to get you much although I'm sure he'd appreciate it.
Ammo can "hamper" full of of cleaning supplies, gun socks & cleaning mats?

I got one of these for my 3gun shotgun with a 12rd tube, that I have plugged to 10rds obviously.
