Hey Folks,
I’m amazed at how elaborate some of these custom fitted rifle cases can become. I just came across this picture and I’m wondering if you guys have come up with similar patterns ideas etc. Please post Pics!

Is the foam glued into these cases or, if already cut (as in the pics) can it be taken out and turned round so that the scope is at the top in the carry?

Re: Custom fitted Pelican, Storm, cases. Show um up!

always wondered what is the reasoning behind removing the bolt from the rifle when storing ? just curious.
 
Re: Custom fitted Pelican, Storm, cases. Show um up!

So if the scope is on the handle side, the guys chucking it in the bottom of the airplane know not to throw it on that side?

I guess I don't see the logic.
 
Re: Custom fitted Pelican, Storm, cases. Show um up!

custom bolt knobs can, and have, broken, that is why they are removed.
 
Re: Custom fitted Pelican, Storm, cases. Show um up!

thanks.

I wish there would be a template for the basic configs somewhere where you can just purchase the foam pre cut.
If someone has a template for a M40A3 or M14/M25 I'm interested

There is no logic, don't worry your head about it. It's sort of a running joke. Properly fitted, it makes "no never mind" which way it goes into the case.

Same case ... different foamage ... skinny AR's allow for multiple layers.

Re: Custom fitted Pelican, Storm, cases. Show um up!

Maybe not pretty, but it works. The scope is on the handle side. When you watch the baggage monkeys "hammer throw" your kit you like to know the scope doesn't take the hit from the rest of your 10+ lb. tactical rifle. But maybe that's just me.

Old pic. Got a PH coming in now and the rifle also runs an Atlas as well.

Re: Custom fitted Pelican, Storm, cases. Show um up!

This makes me want to cut the foam in a case I've been putting off for a year.

my new Storm Cases had denser foam compared to my older Starlight Cases. I believe it's an option you can order from the manufacturer or distributors if I'm not mistaken.

If anyone knows please chime in...

I agree. Mine looks similar inside and has been cut out by me with a razor knife. Minimalistic cutting to leave foam for protection, scope up and tight fitting so not alot of movement of gear inside case. Is it as pretty as some here? No but I have watched it dropped over 3 feet on to the concrete tarmac and rifle and scope were unharmed. Flown all over the country with this Starlight case and it's worked like a charm for me. Here's a pic of the inside without the rifle

Lets see what some of the ousides of those pretty cut cases look like. Here's mine

I agree the case will hold up, but the foam will move and let the scope hit.

Re: Custom fitted Pelican, Storm, cases. Show um up!

I have a question. I am going to cut my foam for my new bolt action. What does everyone prefer? Is it better to leave the bipod on when in the case/foam or remove the bipod and place it in its own slot in the foam?
 
Re: Custom fitted Pelican, Storm, cases. Show um up!

Here are my 2 Storm's.

What is that? Looks like a freaking handgun. Awesome compact package if it is a half minute shooter. What is the barrel length?

Re: Custom fitted Pelican, Storm, cases. Show um up!

Stupid question I'm sure but what case should I be looking at for my 700 SPS?



I have been searching, and this is one of the first threads to come up so I'm throwing the question out there as I continue to search.
 
Re: Custom fitted Pelican, Storm, cases. Show um up!

In the photo above my case is the Pelican 1720. I have a Remington 700 SPS tactical so my barrel is 20 inch. With the MCM A-5 stock, and the 20 inch barrel it first perfectly in the 1720.
