Title: Soft rifle cases to fit Field Target rifle with scope and wheel?
Post by: gokidd on February 06, 2017, 05:57:00 PM

Anyone found a specific make and model of soft rifle case that will accommodate an HFT rifle with big scope and side wheel?
Seems like a typical soft rifle case for "rifle with scope" will barely fit.
46-inch length seems to be plenty, but the typical 11-inch depth just won't cut it.
Many of the online sales sites do not include actual interior dimensions for the cases.
Thanks!

My Armada fits in my Bulldog 49" tactical case with scope and side wheel. Not a lot of room left over but it does fit. I'll measure when I get home but I believe it's 12" or 13" tall.

I got one of these in 45x16

and it easily fits my BSA Scorpion SE with Viper 4-16x50(same scope as on the rig in my avatar which also fits in no prob)
with 6in side-wheel attached which makes for a very tall rig but it fits now problem and I have
enough spare room I would go with the 13in in retrospect but the build is good and the pockets on the side a really handy
for fill probes, notes, pellets, mags, etc.

Sorry. Forgot to post last night. The Bulldog case is 13" tall. Works fine with my Armada. Nice case with storage compartments. I have a few of them.

You might look a bass pro shop if you have one local. I bought a soft case for my mrod and scope that sites pretty tall.
It was only $50 and has three pockets on it. I do not remember the model but it was of course black with red trim.
It comes in 48" and 53" It's about 10" tall.

I use this to carry and EV@ with a 60mm front objective scope on high ring. Also a low mounted hamster and it all fits. I also keep the sidewheel, butt hook, a couple tins of pellets, allen keys, notepad, pen pencil and there's still room for more.

Many thanks, farmerjoe!
I went with the 13 x 45 inch option of that same VISM case and it fits my HW97K, Viper scope and large side wheel very nicely.
Having pockets is a plus and the case seems well made. I ditched the shoulder strap that carries the rifle upside-down.

I do look a bit ... SWAT-ly ... upon arrival at the field.
Well. Until I bring out my white plastic pickle bucket seat and floppy Easter bonnet shooting hat.
Then, I'm just back to looking goofy.

Thanks!
Bob

You can get a RangeMaxx at Bass Pro. I use one for my TM1000 and Nikko 10-50 with a large wheel
Hope this helps,
