Breastman Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Hello all, Does anyone know where (online or in the NE) to get decent quality but not obscenely prices hard cases for rifles/shotguns. :( I’ve been looking at the Pelican range which appear to be the best. I'm not after anything ornate, just something to protect guns in transport (airline approved). I'm wanting to look at alternatives before shelling out £200 on what is for basically a plastic box!

Baldrick Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I picked up a Sako rifle case for £30 plus P&P off Fleabay a few weeks ago, for carting my .22 round the farm. Of the premium cases I have, the Peli is tough, and the all-metal Kalispel and Americase offerings are virtually indestructible. Toughest of the lot is a bespoke flightcase of aluminium and marine ply construction, for transporting a pair of shotguns. I used to do a lot of travelling with guns, and needed genuinely resilient luggage. Buy the best you can afford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breastman Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Thanks for the replies. Those aluminium jobs are half the price of the Pelicans and do the same job, cheers Blaser Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsportshooter Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) I sold an aluminium (Airline Approved) Case on here not so long ago for £35 - you can get them at Sportsmanguncentre - look under litts shotgun cases. they were on clearance recently for about the same money. They are not high end kit but they will certainly protect your firearms in transit (may not last 20 years but who needs that...). However one point to remember is they are breakdown shotgun cases which means you will just about get a short barrel carbine in without any dissasembly. Fits the Sako Quad, with scope etc and barrel (removed of course) nicely. But would fit any rifle with the barrel removed - which shouldnt be a problem for transit purposes. Take a look at them online and make your own mind up - They are cheap but the build quality is perfectly OK and theyre lockable Hope this helps M Edited June 25, 2009 by Newsportshooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
