Hi Chris, any container big enough to fit the scope and some sort of padding is fine for transport or short term storage. For long term storage you shouldn't have the scope sealed in a tight space - better to have it on a bench away from dampness with a cloth over it in order to avoid mould.
High density foam is good for padding but a few layers of bubble wrap would be ok too (and cheaper).
A thief is less likely to target a scratched up old esky than a shiny expensive looking case too.
