What do you use for shipping rifles? Do you put the rifle in a gun case and then into a box?
I have a basic Plano gun case with the rough dimensions of 53"(L) x 9" (W) x 6" (D). I want to put the Plano case into a cardboard shipping box of similar dimensions and I've looked high and low and I cannot find any such boxes.
Am I being too careful? Would it be adequate just to bubble wrap the rifle and then put it in a shipping box?
I KNOW that in the past, I've found suitable cardboard boxes that, typically, pretty much fit the Plano case. This time though, no-go. I've looked online at UPS, UPS Store, Staples. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
