Hard case for long rifles

[Beaverman]

OK awhile back I thought that I read a post on here someone looking for a hard case for longrifles, well I did a search and can't find a thing about it, looking for a hard case for a 54" overall internal case dimension, anybody have a clue as to where to find one that does not cost $300.00?

I got a nice one from Cabela's a while back, more than a couple years ago, but they don't seem to have it on their site anymore.  It's branded by them so I can't even tell you who made it.

Wish I could help more.  Enjoy, J.D.

Crazy Crow has a 64" long hard case.  http://www.crazycrow.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=4663-040-175&Store_Code=CCTP&search=case&offset=&filter_cat=&PowerSearch_Begin_Only=&sort=&range_low=&range_high=

Thanks Dave!, some Baltic birch plywood and hardware is looking pretty cheap after seeing what prices are! I do own a table saw and screw gun!

Beaverman,
 I found a place that sells hard aluminum cases for a reasonable price. (http://2ndamendmentproducts.com/ ) They have a 55" double sided case. 
They also sell 60" and 64" single sided cases.

I hope this helps.

Dave,
 Thanks for the link. I have been loking for a good case a longrifle. All the ones I found seemd to short for a rifle with a barrel any longer thatn 42".

I'm bettin' the one from Crazy Crow and the one from 2nd Amendment Products are the same case.

I don't see anywhere in 2nd Amendment Products' description where they are "all aluminum".  Did I miss something or are they just aluminum framed like Crazy Crow's with aluminum colored plastic sides?

I'm sure they fit the bill, heck I own one like this, but it's just been my experience that the cases made completely of aluminum are usually about twice this price and weigh half again as much as these....at least the all welded ones.

All welded .062": http://www.icc-case.com/impact-case-6214a-for-black-powder-rifle/

All welded .080": http://www.icc-case.com/impact-case-firearm-or-utility-case-w-wheels-080/

Either way, it's still small beans when you consider what a quality longrifle cost.  Enjoy, J.D.

Thanks all for the tips

JI, called them and talked to the owner about his product, impressed, placed an order for the 60" single, will report back on this with product review when it arrives, Beav

I hope they are as good as they appear. I look forward to your review of the case.

JI, the case arrived today and I like it, airline approved and well made, aluminum sides, ends and reinforcing through out the main side panels are thick abs and nice foam lining, well worth the $129.00 shipped!

Beaverman,
 I'm glad to hear that the case is what you were looking for.  That is a great price for such a well made aluminum case. How long is the internal length?

[Beaverman]

Internal is 60"

Beaverman,
 Thanks for the information. I wasn't sure if the dimensions listed on the web site were for internal or external dimensions.
