I'm looking for a source for inexpensive hinged hard plastic gun cases for shipping. Catch is I want them to each come in a cardboard outer box. I'm looking at 20+ each. Can anyone help me with a source? Thx Mike | ||

A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru.

Thanks for your post. I can get them here in SLC for ~$20, but the ones sold at retail don't include a carboard box. I'm a bit sceered to send nice collectable guns via UPS without an outer box over the case. | |||

Nomo4me, You might try the link www.cameronpackaging.com I have bought from them twice. Ordered off the web and received my shipment within four days. GWB | |||

Since they're already protected, you can easily make outer "boxes" from refrigerator boxes or any other large corrugated box. I wouldn't hesitate to send them without an outside wrapper (and have many times), but I'd do it USPS priority mail with insurance and tape the outside of case and cover the hinges well with tape. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere. NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR. I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process. | |||

Cameron packaging looks like they have exactly what I'm after. Might even ditch the plastic case idea at $20/per and do the box/sleeve/foam block pack instead. Many thanks for the replies. | |||

I am trying to talk myself into selling several rifles. One of the steps I need to get done is to get cases and boxes. I stopped by the local ex-Sportsman's Wearhouse on my way home and they were unpacking a shipment of cases, taking them out of the carboard box and putting them on display. I asked what they do with the boxes and they said they just throw them out. I took home 4 boxes. The next day my brain started to work and I realized I should have just bought the cases in the boxes while I had the chance. Back to the store. I asked about getting some more boxes along with the cases and was told all the boxes were already in the crusher. | |||

Check out SMOKEANDFIRE.COM they have boxes they will send you free, only pay shipping. They are made for muzzle loaders. But I m sure they will fit anything with out a scope, maybe with a old school scope though.

Soft foam padding for the Rifle and rigid urethane foam for the corners and center portion of your shipping box . Wax paper or plastic trash bags work just dandy , you can also just buy the foam in the can stuff at a local home center . Rigid foam is cheap piece of mind , when shipping items you prefer to have in tact upon arrival !. | |||

After trying to collect an insurance claim from UPS I decided hard cases are the only way to go. The shipping companies will gladly take your insurance business but good luck collecting! | |||

Exactly why I use urethane foam lined boxes , with soft foam pad for the Rifles to lie in !. Someone has got to be literally trying to destroy your box if they break the hard foam shell !. When important items must be shipped their normally packaged accordingly and encased in urethane foam shell or at least points of potential impact . This is why they arrive in tact !. Styrofoam used to be the product shippers preferred as it was cheap , no longer the case !. When irate pissed off recipients of damaged merchandise bellow about taking business else where smart shippers listened and came up with the plan !. Peanuts popcorn and such leak if the box is torn , urethane foam sets rigid resist taring as well as impacts . Air bags are ok for certain shipping requirements but I still prefer urethane foam and haven't been disappointed yet !. I used to over see shipments of Military items on commercial carriers numbering in the 100's weekly . Worked in every instance say for one , the Semi went out bound over an icy bridge down a gorge 700 Ft. plus and burned . Most parts would have been in tact except for the fire !!!. | |||
