I finally picked up my case from Georgia Case Co in Tucker. Nice people, good work. Removed the Pelican foam and put in high density material. Added a little room to push the scope out and to extend the stock. Snug fit all around.

In my opinion, a lot.. too much... but I found no competition to get an alternate bid from within driving distance. New foam + cut was $280   and I was expecting $150 - 220... I think I remember them saying the foam was about $80 and the labor fluctuated with the amount of cutting that was requested. Therefore YMMV.

No way the foam was $80. We used to get large amounts of custom cut foam, 24x74x1.5 for about $5 a sheet. I'm sure the density is less as it was used for bedding but the magnitude of difference is no-where near that. We didn't specify color and at one time had a bunch of charcoal, I wish I had saved some.
That said it looks nice but honestly that price is too steep for me but I'm a DIY type. |

Although costly, with an investment like that, it was a wise choice to have it done right! |
