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.
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.
bugger, wish I saw this a fortnight ago as have just got a similar Plano one at $230 and it only fits one barrel...
This one looks good @stug
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.
@stug i bought another bit of foam from Para and finally got around to making a two barrel cut out. tight, but looks like it works just fine

Looks good, the pick and pluck foam in mine is coming apart in mine.
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
Where can you find out which cases are airline approved?Quote:

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......

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.
That's a buggerQuote:
