I keep planning and subsequently procrastinating ordering some custom gun foam inserts for a few pelican cases, planning for a single double in a 1700, two doubles in a 1700 or likely 1720 and double/bolt combo in a 1750.
Sitting around the house miserable with a cold and watching the blowing snow outside, decided to distract with loading and other activities….which led to gunfoam with a trip approaching. As I was measuring and taking photos, I had the questions of how folks prefer to orient their doubles when traveling abroad. I’ve cut foam interiors on a few cases flying with my doubles but always just oriented them on their sides, so if looking down into th4 open case, the barrels were on side, and seems the only or at least best way if traveling with RMR attached. This next trip I may roll without and shoot open iron sights, and likely why I was thinking about it.
Also, assume set the butt section with cheekpiece up?
For barrels and butt, any particular reason you chose one option over the other?
Here is my redneck-engineered interior from Zim trip in October, with barrels sideways as I describe them, and then another forum member had posted this other photo in another thread, and his are barrel rib down. I know some have cases set to travel with rib up and have for years. Not sure their is a right or wrong way, so more curious of what folks chose, why, and likely help me sort through which option will prove best for my situation.
AND…have folks who like to include knife, multitool, shooting sticks, tripod, etc., in their rifle case caught grief recently?
Cheers gents.
