Hi fancy getting a hard case for my Blaser R93 - have had a look for a type B case but they are like rocking horse sh*t!
So have been thinking of using a Peli case

Question is: which peli case and where from???

Cheers
Daz

(if you have got a blaser case for sale - drop me a pm ASAP! )
 
WOW! That looks awesome!
Do you cut the foam yourself or can you buy it already done??

Does look very good!!

Any pics of your cases with the blaser in it???

Cheers

I can get the foam from a place in Edinburgh.

The way to do the cutting is by a special hot-wire cutter - I found the plans for it on a USA website as they have a whole thread on it devoted to Pelican case layouts, up to 70 pages of info last time I looked

I have a couple of 1700 cases & a 1750 - now looking for a 1720 for my LTR

EBAY US is way cheaper than the UK site - a good 2nd-hand one will do the job

The PLANO cases are also worth a look....
 
I have the Blaser case, it is the single rifle/barrel one. It is OK but over some time I eventually came to the conclusion that it was not robust enough for air travel - I had a bad experience with a fishing rod in a metal tube that they managed to destroy in a manner that I couldn't achieve with a sledge hammer and and hour of hard work.

I got a local musical flight case type chap to make me up a case suitable for transporting my Blaser. He did a good job and made it exactly to my spec. He is a friend so I told him I wasn't looking for a nice finish etc. as I didn't want it to look too important. However, he made it very robust and very light so that it meets with the extra 12kg weight that some airlines give you when you book a firearm with them. With rifle, mod, sling, scope, bipod etc. the whole thing comes to just under the 12kg. I tell everyone that I'm carrying bagpipes in it, no one in their right mine wants to steal bagpipes:

You can buy the foam over the web. I bought mine here: http://www.waterproof-cases.co.uk/product/peli-foam-set-for-1700/ but there are plenty of places. I cut the foam myself - it doesnt look as professional as the other link I posted but it more than does the job. I played around with the positioning of all the components (stock, barrel, scope, mod, bipod, sling, etc) until I came up with a configuration I was happy with, then just cut around them with a sharp Stanley knife.

Sadly I don't have a photo and I've since sold the scope I had (an IOR) so need to re-cut some foam for the new setup.

The Peli case is tough as old boots - you won't be disappointed

The handmade case looks very tough!
Just fancy a nice case for the blaser - the peli looks like the winner.
Just need to find 1 :)

That's a much better idea. A quick Google search turned up these:

Hi Daz, If you can get that Peli for less than £200 you are on to a winner.
I also have a peli 1700 and cut the foam myself, with a pen knife.
The shape doesn't have to be exact as it helps hold the items inside pressed tight when you close the lid.
The foam can be got cut to the exact size of the case from http://www.efoam.co.uk/other.html and is a darn sight cheaper than the 'specialist' shops !!
 
The cases in those links look custom cut!!
What a brilliant idea - the one on ar15 looks awesome :)

If i get the case i'll be busy too!!

Cheers :)
 
Thanks for the links guys - hopefully i'll get the case, if not i'll just keep an eye on ebay til i do get 1.
Cheers
 
I'm the highest bidder - at the moment - will have to wait and see (fingers crossed)
Cheers!

Both of mine came in at £100 or thereabouts. Don't get caught up in a bidding war as they do come up pretty frequently. Set up a saved search and then you might find a secondhand one with a Buy It Now price.

Go for the Peli Storm rather than the original Peli. Lighter, tougher, the locks are beautiful etc... overall a much nicer piece of kit!!
 
How do you set up the "saved search" mate ?

Daz

Type in what you're looking for into the search box, for example:

peli* 1700

and press return. When the results come back you'll see some text just below the search box saying, for example:

6 results found for peli 1700 Save search

If you click on the Save search hyperlink then another window will open, asking you to name the search and then a click box where you can say if you want to receive an email every time there is a new listing that matches your search.

Then just click Save.
