How do you haul your spotting scope around?

[Troutslayer2]

Hey gang, long time no see. Career forced me to live in Seattle for some years and I really didn't get to enjoy shooting very much. Happily back in Montana! I picked up a Swaro HD 85 angled last year. It's one of the most expensive things in my house! Looking for a case that will fit and protect it but not take up half the cab of my truck. Also kind of looking for a good value. Pelican seems ridiculous considering that it's really just to prevent damage from the house to the glassing spots. Any good options out there? Thanks!

I use a " MTM casegard " to carry mine . I use the case that is made for carying 4 pistols . I cut out the mid layer foam to fit the spotter , and the eye piece seperatly . the spotter is to big to fit with the eye piece attached . I don't have any pics of it , but I could take a couple if you wanted to see it .

A backpack works well, just add some foam or wrap the scope in some extra clothing.
Get one with a scabbard for the tripod.

there are other nice herd cases out there like the pelicans that are nearly half the price or less that would do a great job. I picked a a double pack of Boyds hard cases at Bass Pro that were on sale for 49.99 very nice, water proof and has the pressure valve.

Get someone you know who makes backpacks to do a custom padded soft case for it - that's what I did for mine.
