Apparently EVERYTHING has to be "just so" when hunting in Africa these days....

I substitute a cheap padded case--whatever I have on hand--for one of the foam spacers in my travel gun case. Sometimes its one padded case, sometimes two, depending on whether I bring one or two rifles. This has worked fine for over 30 years. My rifles have been dinged more by actual hunting than riding around in the bakkie...

Different experience here. My rifle rode in the 2nd row seat of the bakkie along with the PH's rifle. Guide was in back with us and always had his rifle slung, but we never missed opportunity to get our rifles handed to us without ruining the opportunity. No case involved in my situation. But everyone is correct saying a) bring a cheapie, or b) borrow from outfitter (they've got plenty).
