Willkommen!

Very nice setups, love the hard case with the custom foam cutouts! I keep all of my long guns in Pelican Protectors, so I can certainly appreciate your storage and protection choice.
 
I try to wait until they are on sale, because they are quite expensive. There's an outfitter here in the States that was selling 1700's, 1720's, and 1750's for about $100USD, so I grabbed a couple more. Otherwise, I don't think I could bring myself to pay full retail for them :LOL:
 
Where in Germany? I went to Gymnasium a long time ago in Muhldorf near Mettenheim and used to visit my grandparents in Neugablonz. Sadly my language skills have decreased in 36'sh years.

My uncle was stationed in Nagold before he retired Fallschirmjager.
