    Help me find the perfect rifle case

    Looking for a nice, good quality hard case for both a 16" non scoped AR and a future scoped 24" Tikka T3. Any suggestions?

                come on man... do you need us to load and shoot the rifle for you too?

                Place both rifles on the ground, draw a box around them and measure it... buy a box that fits.

                I don't want to flame you, but it seems people just cant think for themselves nowadays...the Internet has made peoples mind like a child's mind...EMPTY OF ORIGINAL THOUGHT.

                    If you are looking for alternatives to Pelican, check out SKB. They make solid cases too.

                      That's the thing, I don't have the Tikka T3 yet, just planning ahead. And I agree with you about people not thinking for themselves usually. I always try to figure things out on my own first, but in this case, since I don't have the other rifle, just asking for a point in the right direction

                        Starlight looks to be priced right there with Pelican from what I see

                          take the known dimensions of the rifle, add 2 inches for case, then 1 inch for room on either side and at least 3 inches between rifles. thats about what you need in a case to house both.

                          I would wait to have both rifles in front of me to buy a case.

                            I saw a Starlight case for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I was using it for an electric cello project I'm working on and they are nice. Solid air tight wheels locking latches and pad lock holes, ethafoam liner in layers, looked like you could drive over it. these are good.
                            take care

                              Hmmm, better idea to just get two separate cases maybe? What's everyone's preference on that? Sorry, new to this and I don't like to buy things then regret it.
