    Default Entry Level Lockable Rifle Case

    If I did want to send it with a lockable case but had no other use for it...

    I would like to get a good entry level lockable rifle case for longarm shipping but I live in a small town and would have to order it so it can come from anywhere in SA. I just won't be able to handle it first.

    I want something that does not feel cheap and I guess anything under R2000 would be nice but I do not know where the acceptable ones price.
    There are ones that feel cheap, like a factory case, but Pelican Storm is not needed either.

    Is there a Glock of the rifle case world?

    I actually saved a link to the Ampro and TorkCraft quite a while back but never got any reviews on them.

    My longest firearm is 112cm, how long should I go?

    On the odd chance I have to send 2 rifles at once is the cost of sending a double case much higher than a single?


    Two examples
    R2000
    Inner Dimensions 1220 x 320 x 100 mm

    R3000
    Internal dimensions: L1308mm*W321mm*H133mm

    Something to think about: try to get a case which can fit in the width of your car's boot otherwise it becomes a pain in the ....

    When huntex was still in full swing, LA Arms use to have a lot of cases on display, from entry to high “price”

    https://www.laarms.org/riflecases

    Stating the obvious….
    They may be able to give advise on more options available. If you do not need a super long case, get one that can still fit in the trunk. If you going to transport with scope, then depth of case, foam density, and possible customise cutout/modular foam would be helpful. Cheap plastic will protect against bumps from outside, but foam is normally poor quality. Aluminium lined cases may help a little to secure the lock not breaking off when caught on something , and are normally supplied with premium foam. If you need security, get a rifle safe, and lots of bubble wrap, as long as the courier doesn’t charge per weight. ��
