  • Heavy-Duty Soft Case -- Sized for Schuetzen Rifles

    I went looking for a "soft" but heavy-duty case for the new-to-me Moeller Martini Schuetzen rifle that I've recently posted about. I have a Plano hard case that I've used for years for my 38-55 High Wall, but I didn't want another hard case.

    I found this one -- Cabela's Xtreme Long-Range Rifle Case -- at the local Cabela's (obviously...) and it is rated "5 out of 5" after 23 ratings.



    The internal length dimension of 50.5" is exactly the length of my Schuetzen and it just fits. There is a small pocket inside to hold the muzzle and 2 Velcro straps to secure the barrel and butt. With the 12" max height inside, there's plenty of room for the large hooked & carved buttstock of mine, and the 3" inside width also helps the stock -- with its exaggerated cheek piece -- fit inside very well.

    It wasn't cheap -- but cost lots less than the rifle and it will protect it very well. The extra pockets will easily hold the rear sight (as it has a large 2.25" disc on mine) and the watch-keys needed to mount & adjust the sight.

    Thought I'd post it here for others to see, as folks here have been helpful to me in my quest to get my Martini up and shooting again.

    Tight groups!

    This large case worked out great this morning -- despite the 15-degree temps -- when I took my new-to-me 13.6 pound DRGM Buchel Meister to the range for its first outing. More to come on that later...
