Charlie64TuffPak - three rifles
.
Question to those on here that actually own and use a TuffPak - can you get
three soft sleeved rifles in a TuffPak ?
Am planning a couple of trips with my wife and youngest son and if we check separate gun cases we are looking at EUR 1.200/- plus in handling and airport fees each trip! So it adds up.
Hence looking for a possible shell for three rifles.
TuffPak website says three is possible, but would love to hear from anyone on here that has experience travelling with a TuffPak and more than one gun.
Thanks. Appreciated.

KevinNYI only carry two rifles in mine, but with substantially padded cases. I think 3 , while being very heavy, is possible as long as you reverse the position of the one in the middle. In other words, 2 placed in the case muzzle first with the one in the middle paced butt first.

Chris LozanoThree will fit. But you will probably be over weight

Bwana338I have done 2 rifles and a shotgun.
Tuffpak is 18 pounds and I was at 49 pounds
I have different soft cases and some weigh less than the others.
it was 2 rifle in the soft cases taped together. they were inserted first and the shot gun was slid in beside them and it Wass a tight fit.

bwanajayCharlie, 3 rifles will fit in a Tuffpak but you will probably be in the high 50s or low 60s on weight.
I seem to remember some countries require a separate case for each individual's firearms. IE: You can have more than one firearm in a case but all the firearms in a single case must be being imported by the same individual.

RAR60I have only used for two scoped rifles in soft cases as recently as May. I would have to pay overweight fee for three because the way and what I put in there. Two slings, cartridge belt, cartridge holder and knives. I also use the over bag that Tuffpak sells also. That puts me at 48 to 48.5 lbs.

Charlie64.
Thanks gentlemen! Great feedback. Not sure that the weight is an issue from Germany as they are charging for the weapon handling and thats a fixed fee for the case. Never weighed my case on the last trip.
I have an Eiseler alu case that I can pack two in but the challange is the three ! Will see what Lufthansa says ...........
