Suggestions on shipping transit case, rifle, accessories

[Badger]

I've had several (maybe 12 or more) No.4(Mk1*)T's shipped from thousands of miles away to me ...

In all cases, the rifle (and any kit) were "bubble wrapped" (or something like that) inside their transit cases, bolt out and scopes in their own scope cans, also ""bubble wrapped". The object was to have nothing be able to bounce around inside in transit case.

Following that, the transit case itself was wrapped in heavy cardboard, with re-enforcing pads shaped and placed at all the corners to prevent (minimize) damage from a fall on the corner edges. Over top of the carboard was that standard brown shipping and wrapping paper, so all the labels etc were the only thing showing on the outside of the package.

I've never received a damaged piece as yet, except once. I did receive a shipment of a premium priced item from a deler in Australia that was a mess. For someone who labeled himself a professional dealer, it looked like it had been packed by a 4 year old. To be frank. I'd neither recommend him, nor deal with him again.

Hope that helps...

Regards,
Doug
