    Blaser R8 multi-barrel cases

    A bit more verstaile, have you thought of the new VACUUM RIGIDIZING STRUCTURE from Kor technik that you can put in you case? It is a kind of foam made of small beans that is taking the form you want (you press your stuff in the foam) and that is becoming rigid by removing air and that keeps...
