Good eye! Thanks for sharing! Looks like a nice case.

Ha just looked at that email too. Maybe I need to buy a new gun to put in that case since it is such a good deal.

It's a little too small for a Marauder rifle, too big for a Marauder pistol...

Actually...according to my friend Pythagoras, the Marauder just might fit...diagonally:
sqrt(42^2+13^2)=43.9"

According to PA's site, the Marauder is 42.8"

It would be tight, but it should fit. Soooo tempting.

That's too tight of a fit for my taste. I like a little more room between my rifles and the case walls.

 

[ztirffritz]

I agree. If I had a bullpup I'd be all over this though. They seem to be very nice cases.

Thanks Fritz,
With the addition of my "new" Falcon carbines, I need another case that is slightly oversized to fit both. this could work!

 

[linsfreak]

Very nice. I think I need one.

actually with a little modding of the pluck foam the marauder fits in going diagonally really well I know this de to I have this case

I resisted temptation for 5 days and finally caved this morning.

According to Amazon the Marauder is 45 inches and I think I measured mine at 46 best measure before buying.

 

[ztirffritz]

I have other guns that will fit in it, but I'd really like a better case for my Marauder. I'll let everyone know...

I'm also hoping to win this stock in the September GTA auction:

The case was delivered today. It's very nice. As I expected, it is too close for comfort with the Marauder rifle. The pistol and another run might fit nicely though.
