Double rifle bag for transporting to the range.

Soft case is usually nicer to carry around too. IMO.

Actually, something to clarify then, reason I want a hardcase is because I always had a hardcase... Rifle has a chunky scope and turrets on either side, meaning one is always touching the bag and inherently absorbing impact from car floor when I am driving. A hard case seems like a tool to significantly minimize that compared to a soft case. In my mind. A soft case would protect it against scratches and such, but probably not impact of going over speed bumps or potholes on dirt roads. But really it's for driving from safe to bench and back, there is really almost no carrying involved (boot to bench, 20m max)

Just a tip for what it's worth, I carry mine in a soft case but wrap a towel around the middle section over the scope before it goes in.

Takes the edge off those pressure points like you highlighted.

Ended up getting this case: ;



Looks good. Feels a little flimsy, but can't complain really for home-range-home trips. Easily fits two rifles with scopes. But probably could accommodate 3 or 4 rifles.

Bit hard to see, what's the brand?

I have issues with pelican cases, i.e. case that costs as much as a new rifle - I am just going to go and get a new rifle, why, because!

I feel the same about the Pelican.

Good cases, but over priced.

So quick update on the double rifle case I purchased, you get what you pay for.

It did last from the car to the range. From the car to garage, not so much I picked it up like a box, rather than by the handle - lucky, handle fell off then and there. The combination lock on one of the compartments didn't work well, had to fiddle with it a little. Was seconds from getting a large screw driver. And the entire thing was kinda wobbly after the drive. I did go over some bumps, but nothing I would consider of any impact.

Anyway, binned it, didn't trust it enough not to fall apart next time. Back to looking...

Bad luck! Been trying to save for a pelican case.... Not having much luck tough.

Ps. I'd try emailing seller. Most sellers I've felt with have been pretty good re: returns for product failure.

I am not terribly upset, you get what you pay for I suppose, in the back of my mind I was like, yeah this is not going to be good, but $50ish i think it was, I thought, screw it i will try it. Anyway, meh. Lesson learned.

[Gwion]

The link you gave went to a $120 product.

Yes it was, I mixed bags up, now I feel a lot worse! :/

Shucks, I kinda hoped to find a case for my target rifle coming up. I guess the best thing to do is go price + postage lowest and work way up

Sorry, dude!

Is it not too late to chase them up for a return???

I think I am chasing something that doesn't exist I am sure I am not the only one.

I thought the LE gear one looked pretty good, did you see if they make a longer one?
