Rifle Case Recommendation

[rypsmith]

Need to find a good hard gun case for my benchrest rifle. The total length of the gun is 51 inches. I have serveral Pelican and Storm cases, but only measuring 51 inches inside they just don't cut it. I currently use a long scoped rifle case and that is fitting the bill fairly well, however I would like something with more protection.

Get a Boyt Single or Double case and then cut the foam for a DIAGONAL orientation so you have the room you need. Here's their link: http://www.boytharness.com/inventory.asp?CatId={6D8C1062-2237-46AF-B8B8-67CD1821965C}

I did that with a shorter single case, for a single rifle [because of trunk space in my car], and it worked out perfectly for me. Because the foam is very dense, you don't need a lot of it for protection. I oriented the barrel closer to the edge of the case's interior than the action and butt which I gave more protection.

The Boyt case is one that you could take to Africa and beat it to death. I found it to be better built than the Pelican when compared side to side.

I believe I got mine from The Sportsman's Guide. Looks like they don't have any now but you may be able to find one on the net somewhere if interested.
