    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.

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

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

    14.3kg all up

    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.

    Super Cheap have them and you can put a full length rifle in the one I have as its 1150 mm long. I've mounted mine on the front of the Can AM. They market them as ToolPro and have various sizes. Mine cost $160 on sale.

    foam at Para rubber was about 25 bucks. also have the pick and pluck which is far softer than the Para stuff. outlined it with a vivid then cut it with a sharp kitchen vegetable knife and a 90's electric carving knife. only took about 30 mins and looks like it will last
