Well I have crossed over to the dark side and bought a Blaser R8 in 30/06. I have found a Blaser transit case at a good price. Are they robust enough to survive the airport handler baggage toss or am I better going for a Pelican case and custom cut the foam?
 
While you might be able to get by with the Negrini case that comes with the rifle, the cost of a Blaser replacement is a lot more than the cost and peace of mind that comes with a semi-custom pelican. I use my Negrini for local travel only.
 
I have used my Nagrini case on 4 trips to Africa. Have never had a problem other than case for double rifle is so small baggage people do not realize it is a rifle case

Not sending a Negrini thru luggage and expecting to get all of the rifle back.

But, Americase used to make an aluminum case the negrini will fit in. Serves as a tough outer shell.
 
I've owned 3 Pelican cases for Blaser our Blaser R8's. The Negrini case is NOT up to the abuse that's put out by baggage handlers.

I'm currently using a case from GunFoam.com that I had custom foam made for. It's similar in size to the Pelican 1720. Here is a thread and I hope it helps you out.

I've just ordered another foam insert for the same case that will be for just my rifle. Should be here in a month or so. I'll take a picture of the final product when it arrives, this is just the computer rendering.

Thanks guys you have answered my question. I will get an appropriately sized Pelicase.
No point having two to clutter the place up!!

Hi. Will you take $90 including shipping for the 28 Nosler brass?

Hello,

I saw your post selling left hand rifles. Do you have any additional pics of the .416 Rem mag?

Thank you.

Hello, I saw your post selling left hand rifles. Do you have any other left hand rifles you may let go of? Also can you send a few additional pics of Borden rifle?

Thank you.

I have a question about your scope. Is the Innomount an SR-to-Picatinny mount?
