Hard Case Help

[Tactical Pith Helmet]

I've had an aluminium flight case for about twenty years. It's held everything from No.4 Snipers to .740 calibre frontstuffers to rifs.

Buy once cry once. Pass it on to the grandkids.

When my daughter shot in the HFT Worlds a decade or so back, it was good to know that her rifle was shooting dead on when we got it out of the van in the morning.

Ally cases are out of fashion now, but they come up on Pigeon Watch and The Hunting Life free-ads from time to time.

My setup with a few different rifles attached. Not cheap but looks cool

I have a nice stash of flight cases for my storage.
During lockdown I helped clear out a friends fathers flat, including a lot of old photography & electronics leftovers - many customised flight cases

I’ve left some as configured and slotted things in, for others I’ve ripped out the compartments
Fantastic gear, priceless if it fits your equipment, still fantastic as solid / secure storage.
It can weigh a tonne though

Two dmrs and a 10 mtw, pistol and some mags. Scopes removed and a butt stock too. Large nuprol with wave foam

There loads of options for multi gun cases. Just depends on which country and how deep your pockets are. Gunformz does inserts and condition1 do some nice kit too

Multi stack options either flat or vertical look good but size and weight become a factor

Trifiber is a good place for other makes of cases

Everyone always recommends the nuprol cases but no one seems to know about the rebel cases. the large and extra large have a pick and pluck layer of foam then two sheets of wavefoam on top of it so you basically have two layers of storage. can easily fit two/three rifles and a pistol in one if you lay it out right

I've a modern Plano case. This Rebel case is obvioulsy grades tougher just from looking at the design in the pics.

Blimey, how long do you stay for.

Usually just a morning but it depends on dodgy knees, dodgy ankles, dodgy weather & dodgy motivation.

I usually take 3 pews, the belt kits/fieldgear are different for each pew... body armour for AEG, Auscam for my Aug & the Virtus for GGBR's (this one for VFC) & of course the kit bag is full of PPE, gas, batteries, bb's, headgear & tactical haribo's.

Peli cases are massively overrated - the only reason for getting those over nuprol is if you're intending on flying with rifles - at which point their pressure equalisation is better and the metal reinforced padlock loops are handy.

No there not overrated, there designed to do a job and they do it very well.

They really are - Back 10+ years ago when they were the only game in town and the price bloat hadn't happened they were reasonable, but their prices have inflated at ((material price + inflation) x 3) rates, except now plastic hard case options are dime a dozen - people spend too much time fawning over brand names at the best of times, but with Peli, unless you're genuinely expecting it to fall out of the back of a plane in flight or off the side of K2 and survive, they're empirically overrated.

My rifle survived a 60mph motorcycle crash because it was in a Genuine Peli. I you just bunging it in car boot buy anything as long as its covere the gun and hides shape.

FWIW I bought a knockoff Flambeau case secondhand from e-bay that arrived today. It's not as tough as a real Plano or Flambeau or the old ally flight case; but it was less delivered than a new budget range soft slip! As Big Al says, I can chuck it in the back of the van and not worry.

For the odd bike trip, the ally flight case is coming out. Horses for courses and all that.
