Any one use any of these Rifle Cases?

I 've been looking for a decent rifle case here in the UK but have been struggling to find anything other than the budget Gunguard or Winchester cases or similar...

Of what I think are the better quality ones I have come across are the SKB, and the Storm Case..

I have heard of people using the SKB case here before, but has anybody used a case by Storm?

Regards,

Pete

Pete,

The SKB is a good product but you'll need to beef up the locks as one key seems to fit all of them.......can't help you with the Storm though.

Carl Erikkson at Litts gunshop (who can't be too far from you) usually has a wide selection of good quality guncases though.....If you do speak to him, please send him my best regards.

I have an SKB I used for 2 trips to Zim. Carried a 470 Merkel and a 375 M70 once and a 375Heym SxS and a 30-06 M70 another. This is the 2 level case that has the removable padded divider. I liked it fine and had no trouble at all. It is reasonably priced and handled 2 guns very well. I have no complaints with the locks either. That lock does have the same key as many other of the same style, but I don't put lots of faith in the locks to keep any one from entering the case if they are determined. Absolutely NO damage from the baggage wreckers.

Steve,

I had completely forgoten about Litts! They are about a 3 hour drive from me although its not a part of Wales I visit very often...Still, I will give him a ring and see what he has in...

I am hoping to visit Riflecraft in Diss next weekend as I will be in the area stalking..They do the Storm line of cases and I would like to take a look at them...

zimbabwe,

Would you say that SKB case would be ok with just one rifle? I was thinking if I went with one of those, I would take that divider out and pack my rifle in its soft case...

Regards,

Pete

Why don't company's ever check the details on their web sites?

I was looking around the US site for Storm cases and noticed a link to Storm Europe and from there to the importer in the UK...these are not different websites but just different parts of the same one.

The case I am interested in, the iM3300 is listed as weighing 19lb in North America but by the time it reaches Europe, it goes up to 12kg which is approx 26.5lb! The a huge difference and almost the weight of another rifle!

regards,

Pete

A single rifle in a Boyt case fits nicely in my SKB. I never thought of using it that way.
