I was just going to post that. They have some amazing rack systems.

the baltic birch plywood suggestion is spot-on. Pretty much every major manufacturer of PA/touring speaker cabinets uses 13-ply baltic birch plywood to build them. Back when I designed custom speaker cabinets I wouldn't use anything else -- the stuff really is rock solid, and doesn't give at all...

Another recommendation for Baltic birch. It is the best plywood when you want total rigidity.

I used their designs as a base for a build a month back using 3/4" oak.

3" between center of each rifle works well. I had 2 blades back to back with cutouts offset to maximize use of space. The back to back allows for a long blade of 6-10 cutouts without the shorter leg of the L having to take the weight of the rifles since they counterbalance each other.
