Getting fed up with my F TR rifle getting knocked around in the car and with no way to transport it unconcealed I went on the hunt for a case. Fully prepared to spend top dollar on a Peli Case I found that they simply are not big enough. I eventually found this and with a 1305mm internal dimension it just fits. At half the price of a Peli I'm pretty happy with the result...

Re: What rifle case do you use?
what length is your barrel ?
my rifle from butt to muzzle is 54"
i havent found a case long enough for it.
i might have to spend the time and make one.

Re: What rifle case do you use?
I run a 29 inch barrel, any longer and I would have no chance or making F TR weight. Total rifle length is 1300mm as I have a relatively long LOP.

Re: What rifle case do you use?
Plano do a wheeled lockable, Lighter and cheaper than Pelican. Side by side I'd question any difference in quality.
Where does that one come from James, and for how much?

Re: What rifle case do you use?
Plano Cases look good, I hadn't found them. Mine is a Predator case, they are readily available but I found it on eBay for $260 with a discount code.

Re: What rifle case do you use?
Same case as you except mines secondhand from the gunsmith, he got it from a gun shop up the rd here in the west.
Not the best pic but all I have on me. Only just fits.

Re: What rifle case do you use?
How are the predator cases holding up? Looking at getting one very soon.

Re: What rifle case do you use?
Thanks ul1700. Will try the plasticoat or something to glue the prick n pluck together. A new solid foam insert would be the way to go in the long run by the looks of it.
Trevor, I have not seen a John Eland box. Is it custom made and what is the internal length?

Re: What rifle case do you use?
John Eland from a club here in Vic made thousands until he retired then sold out and this one was his very last one. Inside measurements are 1430 x 230 x 230 solid, strong and fairly light.
