neil Posted 13 February 2007 Share Posted 13 February 2007 Hi folks, I have found a local place that is a distributor for Peli cases but they also make custom crates/boxes/cases which could be very useful for ammo, sights etc I am looking towards them to make a new insert for my Peli to safeguard my rifle better than the flimsy foam that comes with it. If there was enough interest, then I could potentially try negotiating a discount with them by telling them that I can put a number of British (and potentially further a field) shooters their way. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 13 February 2007 Share Posted 13 February 2007 Interesting Neil, but shipping's usually the thing that kills you with Pelis. I'm looking to get a 1500 or 1550 in a few weeks (would be now but herself's birthday took priority for a change!) but my plan was to buy on ebay and ship from the US in the hope that the euro-dollar conversion would take the sting out of the shipping. Could your chap beat those kind of prices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce Posted 13 February 2007 Share Posted 13 February 2007 I'm toying with the idea of a new case for my AP, maybe a peli 1600, price from here is about £145 [inc vat and foam] Any improvement on that would be handy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobStubbs Posted 13 February 2007 Share Posted 13 February 2007 There's one of the other posters here who got a cheap but very good case knocked up for pistol. I'm pretty sure that company would be cheaper, certainly much cheaper than the pistol case price quotes above. Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found it the best case for the money around I worked out if I had got them to make my free pistol case instead of condor I could have saved £150.

demonloop Posted 13 February 2007 Share Posted 13 February 2007 I would be interested in a peli case for one rifle, the postage shouldn't be too bad, about £10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter, This company make exactly the same case and supply all the foam etc. Again, knowing numbers and interest could potentially help obtain a discount. They supply the extrememly dense foam and use a CNC lathe to cut out sections as per your requirements. This would the only difficult bit for non-Aberdonians, unless you were all up/over at say the Scottish ISSF and potentially the company would do it at a weekend. Or if you could send very accurate templates and were willing to accept the liability based on what you supplied. It's all a thought triggered from the fact that I'm going to get the foam for my case cut and if it meant helping some other shooters get a better deal by clubbing together ...

Pault Posted 14 February 2007 Share Posted 14 February 2007 Several shooters (at least five plus some more possible) have recently purchased Peli for pistol mainly model 1520. Slightly off your topic but may lend weight to your negotiations and help us. We need some decent cut inserts for the pistols (similar to that used for the 50m pistols in the Condor cases). We can provide specs and if successful, I can drop in with the sample guns for measurement. Price would have to be sensible though, most are still recoiling from the Intershoot costs.

Paul, Having seen this stuff, it would be exactly what you want - only problem is it is in Aberdeen should you need to leave items to be measured but as you say, if you can provide accurate specs/sizes ... The biggest cost is time and I would imagine everyone's case would be unique inside, thus increasing the CAD/CAM design time ... Away over now to have a chat with them.

neil Posted 15 February 2007 Author Share Posted 15 February 2007 Morning Paul, To follow on from yesterday ... the price for 5 inserts would bring down the individual price if there were not too many mods between cases (and assuming that the insert is for the same model Peli case?) I may get my case back tomorrow if I am lucky and in which case I will take it to Bisley with me this weekend for anyone who may be interested in seeing what I am talking about. Failing that, I will take some photos. Cheers Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted 27 February 2007 Share Posted 27 February 2007 Neil, What case were you thinking of getting for rifles a 1750? What price have do you think you can get them for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted 28 February 2007 Share Posted 28 February 2007 Neil, Just got some 'rough' prices from my local Peli distributer. A 1750 with foam is £300.62 (inc VAT), £264.79 without the foam. Discounts don't look huge for volume (but these are rough) 1 to 10 - as above 11 to 20 - less 5% 21 to 50 - less 7.5% I think that is a bit steep! A custom made aluminum flight case would probably cost half that. But I suppose we are not comparing apples for apples, as the Peli cases are IP67, and spec'd for UK military and Nato. :ninja: Food for thought....
