gibby Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) Can anyone recommend one? I've seen the £79 guitar/rifle ones on the auction site and wondered if it could be altered, but not sure if they would offer the security/protection I want/need. Advice appreciated.

seeker Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 If you're taking it in a plane make sure it's 'Airline Approved'. For flying weight is not you're friend ... For several years I've used one of those ali sided with a ribbed black top n bottom, and egg crate foam, think they were originally done by Napier. Last saw them art a Gamefair for about £40 Since its protection not elegance the foam has been cut with a carving knife for a custom fit and i use 2 luggage straps for extra security ... It works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 If you want protection then peli case all the way, (there is a reason te military use them!) not cheap though if you want cheap hsf from sportsman is about as cheap as I have seen!

welshwarrior Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Peli case, tough reliable look good and hard as nails, had one run over by a 4 tonne Bedford lorry no damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymo Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Use Peli myself. Only cases I have owned that I feel confident wont lead to a damaged gun during handling by the Airline- And working for an Airline I should know how peoples luggage gets treated :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 I not long bought a SKB case, happy with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) Hi As said ensure 'Airline Approved' - whatever that is......couldnt seem to get an answer from Plano but seemed to be US airlines spec based. However might want to avoid Plano Vanguard (not AA) - my 2nd car trip with it on back seat, outter of 3 plastic hinges (with steel pin), snapped on opening for inspection at Customs...... Original steel valance/piano type hinged Gunguard (light brown exterior), borrowed from me but not returned, had several tours to RSA with no damage bar scuffs...... In my experience if you can justify a Peli due to frequant use likely to be the way to go. L Edited October 7, 2014 by Loki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
