Transporting Barrels

[w00kie98]

When you guys go to the range, do you take more than 1 barrel? If so how do you transport them safley so scopes dont get bumped and finishes dont get scratched? I'm trying to figure out how to take a scoped barrel and a couple other iron sight barrels together without haveing to worry about messing them up. I thought about a 2 layer pistol case, but not sure about the barrels sliding around. Does someone make a pistol case with barrel pockets?

Any suggestions?

Well if you have a hard rifle case the problem is solved i can usually get one complete contender and 5 barrels with scopes in a double rifle case. :grin:

I to use a double rifle hard case.I think you will like it better than the cloth bags i do anyway.I get way more stuff in there.Plus if you drop it no harm done.I have the one from midsouth when i carry it they seem to slide into one another.

I actually used a paintball case that worked great and was real cheap.  I bought it used for $10. It was the perfect length for my Contender with a 13.5" barrel mounted and I could put one more Super 14 with scope and two boxes of ammo in it. I sold it just recently in favor of a take-down shotgun case so I could carry longer barrels. But I'm thinking I had the best setup with the paintball hard plastic case for pistol season.

I have two of those soft cases T/C makes.  They have two barrel pockets that will each hold a 16" or smaller barrel with scopes plus the gun with a 16" or shorter barrel and scope.  With two cases I can take two Contenders and 6 barrels to the range.  That keeps me busy for a while.  I paid $35 each for the cases.

I had an old camcorder hard case and installed foam seporators.  It holds 6 - 14" bbls with scopes.  Really works well.

Thanks for the responses everyone. You gave me a lot to think about.

I use a aluminum tool case that I got at Lowe's for around $20.  It has eggcrate foam in a couple of layers.  It will hold a 14" scoped pistol as well as several scoped barrels underneath another layer of foam.  Here are a couple of pics.

I keep my barrels in a hard backed pistol case. I, in addition, keep each barrel in a white cotton sock to keep them from even remotely thinking about clanking into each other. FWIW DaveP

Nashcat, I really like that idea. It would cut down on the stares and "official" attention when I'm going to the range on my bike! (I ride almost year round)

When I show up at the range with this, it draws a little attention.  I prefer to do the inserts in whatever box someone wishes to use.  This was an old camera case that cost me 80 bucks to start with.  I am very pleased with it though.  Here is the link, I'm not to good posting pictures.
