I used a jigsaw with a BOSCH T313AW saw blade for foam cutting.

I used an electric carving knife ( the kind you would use on a turkey or pot roast) and drew a line with a magic marker on the blade where I wanted the depth to be. My wife wasn't happy, but it did a good job.
 
Hi, I have also used an electric carving knife before, but got a better results with the jigsaw.

I fit my case with a scalpel (11 blade) and a boning knife. Outlined the rifles in sharpie and cut roughly 1/4” inside the outline for a snug fit. I like the electric carving knife idea.

When flying, optics go in my carry on.
When driving in the USA, the rifle case looks like @littlebear
 
Hi. I have made the cutting so it fits 5 different rifles, from a 6,5x57 to my .416 Rigby.
 
Hadn't thought of that! Going to get to work on mine!
 
I like the electric carving knife idea, but I did mine with a filet knife. I always have a couple extra foam inserts, so I can change up the complement depending on where I am going and what I might be hunting.

Jake, Sorry to bug you again. I was wondering if you could share a. couple actual pics of this crossbow with me?

Xpedition Archery USED Scrapeline390X Sniper Gray Crossbow XACW1001 - Light Wear - Needs Bolt/Arrow Guide Spring UA5689​

If it is in a decent shape, would you be willing to sell it for $100 shipped? IS it missing the retention spring that goes over the bolt?
Thank you Ferenc

Good morning John, I just read your setup procedure for the northstar duplicator ator. I found it very hand and I did learn some things. I have the same machine and I am having a problem i can not figure out and was hoping you could shed some light on the subject.
