Precision Rifle Foam Insert for Pelican 1750
Some thoughts on my initial outings with the Eaton Tactical Pre cut Foam Insert for the 1750 case.
I have been cutting my own case foam since I started using Pelican 1750 cases. I came across Eaton Tactical on Instagram and bought an insert for my POF P-308. I asked mr. Eaton if he had plans to build a precision rifle insert. I'm sure I'm not the first one or the only one that he was discussing this with. We discussed the equipment that I wanted to have in the case with the rifle. Mr. Eaton sent me this prototype to see how it worked with different stock configurations.
Shipping and packaging: the inserts arrive I. A heavy plastic wrap/bag heat sealed on both ends. Inside, the inserts are in a clear plastic wrap sealed on both ends. The packaging works well for shipping.
When it's removed from the packaging, it fits right in the case. The precision rifle foam set includes 3 foam inserts.
1. A solid bottom layer
2. An intermediate layer with all cut outs. One end of this layer is cut to fit around the wheels on the Pelican 1750.
3. The third layer has all of the cutouts and is the last one stacked in the bottom of the case. You could call this the top layer.
4. The lid uses the OEM Pelican foam that originally came with the case
So, the short answer is it works very well. The only rifle that doesn't fit in it without trimming is the AI chassis. That's going to require the knife.
Since this is a prototype, some input from everyone would be appreciated.
1. Carry the rifle scope up toward the handle or scope down toward the hinges.
2. What cutouts need to be in the case? In other words what equipment do you want to carry in your 1750 case with the rifle?
1. Rifle
2. Bolt separate from rifle
3. Sunshade
4. Bipod.
5. Suppressor. Bare or in suppressor cover or in Heat proof pouch?
6. Cleaning kit
7. Laser range finder
8. Dope book. How big is your book?
9. Magazines
10. Cleaning rod
What should be in the case with the rifle? Any thoughts?
