Hi all,
I've been lurking for a bit and all the info here is great. I'm an avid shooter though am only just now getting into the precision bolt gun game. I am putting together a Savage 110 FCP .338 LM and I plan on using a McMillan A series (not yet decided but leaning A3-5 or A5) stock. I will be using the stock barrel and muzzlebrake.
Now, my question. For those of you shooting these big guns, what cases/drag bags are you using? Savage lists the size of the gun with the HS stock as 49.5" long (gun gets here monday so have yet to verify). I am 6'5" so when I order the McMillan I am probably going to have it made a little longer than the standard LOP, so I'm just guessing the gun will be in the 50-55" range. This is annoying, as most bags say "handles guns up to 50" in length".
I found an earlier thread that lead me to Delta Outdoorsman and a Voodoo bag that seems to fit my needs. I have also come across an Eagle case, though they seem hard if not impossible to come by. What other choices are there out there for me? I'm not going to kick it around a lot playing sniper, I just need a case for transport and I like the pockets on drag bags. I want it to last, but I won't be abusing it and probably won't actually drag it that much and as such I'd rather not break the bank on this.
I just want to hear what you more experienced shooters are using and what you like for your extra long guns.
Thanks all!
