hello, does anyone know were you can get a good deal on leather or oak cases for double rifles, i've been searching the web and all i come up with is a few places and there prices range from 750.00 and wayyyy up. i don't want to spend almost a grand for a case. your suggestions are very much apreciated

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!
