Let's save you some money here. If your concern is battering your rifle's nice stock, consider getting yourself a hard case to store it in. I'm nutty about dinging up a nice piece of wood myself, but most of my rifles that have dings are a result of my handling them poorly, especially when storing them. A soft case isn't a guarantee when you're throwing other stuff into the closet in front of your stored rifle.

For the range, if you're worried about laying it down on the grass/rocks, etc., consider a shooting mat. The mat will also keep YOU out of the grass/rocks (or in my case, the goat-head thorns and cactus at the praire dog town). Can't afford a shooting mat? I keep a blanket in my truck that'll do in a pinch.

Bipods are wonderful aids to long range shooting. But, since a .22 is pretty limited in range to start with, a bipod is really "overkill".
