Try www.centuryarms.com.au they should have what you want. I think they can fit the case with compartments/dividers if you give specs. of rifle. I have leather case and is quality item.

Unless you buy a one size fits all leather case that is what you will pay. You might try and find a used one that needs some work and fix it up. I have done that for 6-7 rifles and they look nice and don't cost too much.

Over the years I have bought a lot of old Oak and Leather cases and now have 20 or so ready to be fitted for rifles. Someday I might actually get around to it.

Jeff's Outfitters...Jeff Mayfield took over the stock of Cape Outfitters when Don died. He has good cases at realistic prices.

Tell you what. I will do that, typical English with all the tools, bottles etc. Just send me your rifle for fitting in the case. Delivery time is minimum 5 years but could be longer, depending on the rifle.

This is an open offer to anybody else too by the way.

Trust Me.

Okay, if you promise I can shoot a Cape Buffalo from the sidecar with my 45-70 I might be able to shave some of the time off of the case.

Crispie,Oak and Leather fitted cases are expensive, and you will not find one even used, in most cases, for under $7 or $800. Then you will find they are nice but are not well suited to airline travel. The average for haveing one made to fitt your rifles will set you back around $1500. The all leather luggage cases are in the $250, to $450 price range, from Jeff's outfitters!

A better choice is one of the new fitted cases that are airline aproved, but look like the old oak & leather cases inside. These are the lockable aluminum cases, with the fitting inside. www.danwaltercases.com and www.travelcases.com are two such makers, and their products are very well done,and sell in the $500,, to $600 range. These look like display cases when left open, but are secure for travel. If the display is not what you want, the best is the Tuff-Case,with the rifle in a soft case inside! It seems the Travel case website isn't displaying the rifle cases, but on page 63 of the April addition of HANDLOADER Magazine is their add!
