[QUOTE="jimirwin, post: 1561707, member: 51801"] Cheap cases have cheaper, thin, soft foam. And leave big gaps esp near the handle when closed over a rifle. No good at all! Better (which we all seek) is thicker and stiffer, but still lacks secure foam. It MUST close down to a drip resistant closure, too. Look for a closure clamp as close as possible either side of the handle. So likely 4 on the long side. One on each end may or not be necessary, too. Take a third layer of stiffer foam, maybe 1" thick, and cut out the outline of your rifle. Put that around your rifle. (Leave the bolt out!) and close down. [/QUOTE]
