    Where to Buy Box for Shipping Rifle?

    Been searching to no avail on here, and calling movers and couriers to find a box to ship a rifle. Tried Fedex, UPS, Purolator.
    Help please! Where the heck to people get long skinny boxes?
    I'm in Peterborough, ON.

    Dan

    I got some from a moving company. If not, try google for a "box store"

    or

    Didn't see this size on UPS web site but called local UPS store and found one 48x8x8 inches for $6.50. Also tried a local Package Plus store and they have same box for $7.94. Could probably cut down a bit as required.
    Thanks for the other suggestions too CGN'ers! It's been a tedious search.

    Check a hardware store for the boxes that fluorescent tubes come in.
    Or, w ww.uline.ca. But they only sell to businesses. I use their police evidence boxes to store projects on which I'm working.

    Any cardboard box can be fashioned to ship a rifle, if the proper amount of duct tape is applied.
    375 Ruger is the NEW KING of the .375's. ALL HAIL THE NEW KING!

    Go to your local gun store, they often have extra rifle boxes from customers who don't want it after a scope has been added as it won't fit anymore. I know we have half a dozen or so in my store. To bad I'm at the other end of the country.
