2 Gun Scoped Rifle Case Suggestions

[Trappernewt]

May be true on cheap scopes, rails and rings but that's not set in stone.

Both rifles I’m taking have Nightforce NX8’s in NF rings. I’ve traveled all over North America with them in Pelican cases that were laser cut by the gun builder. I was just hoping to be able to take one case with both rifles.

I do not take my scope off, if the gun gets lost or stolen I won't need the scope. besides I insure through my home owners policy replacement cost of everything and it is very cheap. don't forget your 4457 from from customs and your SAPS permit and a travel agent like Jennifeer with Travel Express

So most everyone removes their optics before travel? I did not realize that.

My rifles always travel with the optics on. I’ve never had an issue.

travel express is handling flights and everything. They suggested Africa Sky to handle the firearm stuff in Johannesburg. The 4457 is the same form I used to enter Canada?

you will like Africa Sky and make sure the 4457 is signed in the same year you travel.if it was signed last year 2024 you will need a new one for 2025

No, neither I nor the guys I have traveled with ever removed our scopes. Ok, one did but it was a seriously expensive scope for PRS purposes.
First couple of trips my rifle went in a Peli 1720. Long and bulky. Then I wanted to bring a second rifle. Ok, both fitted in ok. Pain in the backside moving it around airports etc, packing into the PH’s transport.
One thing I noticed is first thing after all the welcome chat, a few beers and a good nights sleep is “down to the range to check your rifles”. Also being checked is you, your firearms handling, familiarity with same and your capabilities.
So why not take a more compact case ? I settled on a Peli 3220. Action and barrel out of the stock. One or two rifles will fit in and it’s simply two screws to tighten up on arrival. POI shift has been minimal.

Get Blaser R8’s and fit them in a smaller & lighter case.
