    Storm distributing Pelican, one of their main competitors, instead of selling their own cases?
    Feck!

    They're not competitors any more. Pelican and Hardigg/Storm merged or maybe Pelican bought Hardigg. I think it happened over a year ago.

    Actually, I must talk to them soonish about recutting foam for my peli case. Still interested in seeing how much it'd cost if we got a group deal?

    I have a Stormforce soft case which nicely holds a similar setup to yours. It's about four inches thick closed with eggbox type foam on the inside and semi solid cordura type fabric on the outside. I think it was about €150.

    I got it in Hilltop - he may have another - I'll check when I'm up there tomorrow.

    If it doesn't have to go through baggage handlers, that's probably a better solution from a cost/benefit viewpoint!

    (If it does, on the other hand, well even a peli case is only barely up to the task. Baggage handlers are legendarily destructive...)

    Has anyone seen the SKB 3i-5014 Rifle Case? It looks awesome.

    Pelican bought Hardigg over a year ago, price was umpteen millions IIRC

    Storm cases are now called Peli Storm cases, but it was the larger rotary moulded cases that Hardigg made that attracted Peli, huge military use.

    Like this bad boy, for example

    Looked at the financial press releases :

    In Jan 2009 Pelican acquired Hardigg for about $200 million with backing from Behrman Capital.

    Big synergies supposedly,
    • Pelican had automated injection molding skills whereas Hardigg had roto molding
    • Pelican has a diverse base of distribution in commercial and industrial markets, while Hardigg has close ties within the military.
    The combined entity will employ over 1,500 people in 23 offices and 6 manufacturing facilities in 12 countries around the world.


    P.
