Travel Rifle

I saw 2 hunters in Zambia that had 4 rifles in soft cases in a locking golf hard travel carry container..........I thought it was quite ingenious. Baggage handlers probably see golf bags all the time and pay little heed to them, unlike obvious gun boxes.

Nice looking gun, if you just want a soft case check out Skinner and see if they can ship you one.

I agree, very nice rifle indeed.
I inherited an nice, take down Model 97 Winchester. It came in a handmade canvas case with Leather straps wearing 'tack' buckles. It's lined with pool table felt; which is exceeding cool as our family frequented the establishment. It's a bit 'humble' so I think I'll not put a picture up.
Although I wonder if would be nicer with a Sheepskin lining, a little stiffer, with more protection. I think the sheepskin can sometimes retail a touch of Lanolin, would that not be good for a rifle & stock as well?

For discreet carry I'd look at a hardshell musical instrument case. ie trumpet or saxophone case. Congrats on the beautiful rifle.

We've covered that before. You are concealing a firearm with the intent of concealing the fact that it is a firearm. Illegal. Buy a proper case.

I thought if you put a sticker "Armes a Feu" on it you now had a firearms case.

The regulations:

Transportation of Non-Restricted Firearms
10#(1)#An individual may transport a non-restricted firearm only if

(a)#except in the case of a muzzle-loading firearm that is being transported between hunting sites, it is unloaded; and

(b)#in the case of a muzzle-loading firearm that is being transported between hunting sites, its firing cap or flint is removed.

(2)#Subject to subsection (3), an individual may transport a non-restricted firearm in an unattended vehicle only if

(a)#when the vehicle is equipped with a trunk or similar compartment that can be securely locked, the non-restricted firearm is in that trunk or compartment and the trunk or compartment is securely locked; and

(b)#when the vehicle is not equipped with a trunk or similar compartment that can be securely locked, the non-restricted firearm is not visible from outside the vehicle and the vehicle, or the part that contains the non-restricted firearm, is securely locked.

(3)#If, in a remote wilderness area that is not subject to any visible or otherwise reasonably ascertainable use incompatible with hunting, an individual is transporting a non-restricted firearm in an unattended vehicle that is not equipped with a trunk or similar compartment that can be securely locked, and the vehicle or the part of it that contains the non-restricted firearm cannot be securely locked, the individual shall ensure that the non-restricted firearm

(a)#is not visible; and

(b)#is rendered inoperable by a secure locking device, unless the individual reasonably requires the non-restricted firearm for the control of predators.

Transportation of Restricted Firearms
11#An individual may transport a restricted firearm only if

(a)#it is unloaded;

(b)#it is rendered inoperable by means of a secure locking device;

(c)#it is in a locked container that is made of an opaque material and is of such strength, construction and nature that it cannot readily be broken open or into or accidentally opened during transportation; and

(d)#if it is in a container described in paragraph (c) that is in an unattended vehicle,

(i)#when the vehicle is equipped with a trunk or similar compartment that can be securely locked, the container is in that trunk or compartment and the trunk or compartment is securely locked, and

(ii)#when the vehicle is not equipped with a trunk or similar compartment that can be securely locked, the vehicle, or the part of the vehicle that contains the container, is securely locked and the container is not visible from outside the vehicle.

It's the case law that pinches you. I feel pretty confident that you'd get convicted if you had a sticker on your guitar case (along with all the other stickers on any credible guitarist's case) that said "armes a feu", particularly if you were in Anglo-Canada. There was a long, agonizing, debate about this a month or so ago in either the General or Legalese forum. The case law is unfortunate (as bad case law often tends to be) but the crux of the matter is that a) a firearm is always a weapon and, b) is that if you conceal a weapon for the purpose of concealing the fact that you have a weapon, no bueno.

...I need to find a compact hard case...suggestions for a case manufacturer? Most that I have found are much too large, the inside of the case only needs to be as long as the barrel - 63CM

That Pelican 1670 is nice if you want to carry your takedown rifle, binoculars, rangefinder, compact spotting scope and maybe even shooting sticks. Way too big for just a rifle.

If Pelican would make a case about that length (28 inches or so interior), maybe 8 or 9 inches wide and 5 inches deep, that would be perfect for just the rifle and scope...I'd be all over a case like that!

The restricted transport regs all but say that you must conceal that you have a weapon.

Nope, no case, so that pleasure is elusive until I find the right case. And James Bond shot people. I don't do that.

seems to me that 10,2 (b) is directing you to conceal the firearm..no?
