Have any of you managed to place - safely - two scopes rifles in those Starlight cases? I simply cannot fit two of my air-rifles in the same case without having "scope conflicts". And it I try to invert them their stocks and air canisters are also thicker than that foam pad...  |
| Yep, I have no problem putting 2 scoped rifles in a starlight case (carbine or rifle). Usually, I place them with muzzles pointing in opposite directions and scopes on opposite sides. It works fine with 2 rifles with railed handguards (i.e. pretty thick). I don't imagine the air canisters are thicker than that. |

Thanks for the hints! I had to remove the compressed air canisters because they were making pressure on the stocks of the opposite rifle and could dent them. Also, the target knobs and the bolts are going through that middle liner. I'll probably have to dig a hole through that middle liner and on the foams, opposite to the knobs, otherwise there will be some pressure against them. |
The overall thickness of the rifle mounted with target turrets scopes is wider than the thickness of each foam. Also, the bolts were sticking out. I managed to rearrange them by removing the air canisters. In this way each rifle's "extra thickness" was not superimposed on the other one. I guess I'll need another case. Anyone left?  |
