Can you post a picture of the inside of item number 2 the pistol / range box?

Does it have compartments for holding target pistols?
 
What’s the maximum length for a rifle to fit into item 3? And would it fit a rifle with the scope mounted or would it have to be detached?
 
Good day to you rookhawk! I would like to purchase: "A British style stalking rifle sling made in Spain for $50 delivered'.

46" total overall length rifle can be accomodated by the case. It has a compartment for the bolt. It can handle scopes of reasonable size attached to the rifle. (not giant 50mm telescopes in high rings)

Back After a Long Time – Hello Again!


Hi everyone,


I’ve been a member since 2015 but haven’t been active since 2017. Life got busy, especially with building my second business. Still, I’ve kept my passion for hunting and followed things from afar. Now that I have more time, I’m excited to reconnect, contribute, and be part of the community again.


All the best,
ANDY

I'd like a bag of 100. I could actually pick it up since I'm in North Irving, but if you prefer, shipping it is fine.
