Thread: New rifle case

I picked up a bargain for a rifle case for my Blaser. Looks like I will be able to fit two barrels and scopes with a bit of planning.
Best bit is the price. I got it off Amber technologies, it is an Accent industrial case. Only $125 delivered to my door. I've since seen them advertised for $260ish. They make a range of sizes.

Thats a damn fine looking case....Where is Amber Technologies? I could be keen on a gun bag upgrade too..

Amber Technology NZ

Accent Industrial Cases click on the download brochure link just above the pictures to see their range. The one I got is the A-975

I just contacted them to order a case and they refused, said J A Russell's stock them and they are only a wholesaler. Pity looks like a nice case. By the time Russell's add their markup......

That's a bugger

if anyone wants to cut out their own foam insert and needs an electric knife you can borrow mine. it was surprisingly hard to find one from anybody i knew

Any chance you could weigh yours Stu? Would be interesting to know if they are airline approved.

Where can you find out which cases are airline approved?

Any case that can be locked is ok to fly with and weight is not an issue as it has to be checked in as an extra bag anyway so can be up to 23kg

This.

There is no formal list of 'approved' cases for flying with, as long as it protects your gear from knocks AND is lockable. I sold my Ascent case as it's too heavy empty, by the time I added 2 guns and gear it would've been over 23kg, so am sticking with a Plano double which works a treat. Keep an eye out on TM and FB for 2nd hand ones/sales. Also SuperCheap have some good cases at reasonable prices from time to time.

7.9kg empty. Can't see why it wouldn't be airline approved. It has pressure equilisation valve on it.

Blaser a R93 2 barrels, suppressor, bolt, 2 scopes, spare bolt head and mag, barrel tool

14.3kg all up

Wish they could make these bloody things lighter!!

Yep, I was a bit surprised how heavy it was. But it is going to protect the rifle well.

Just means you can't carry as much other stuff, our pay excess baggage.

You e got to have the rifle in a separate case if you fly anyway so it makes no difference.
