Help Shipping for warranty work

Contact the manufacturer for what they like to see for shipping packaging.

I’d be more keen to put it in a cheaper hard case because I’ve had countless items damaged in transit.

I almost always ship in original cardboard boxes with a brown paper wrap so lookie loos can't tell what it is.

You want a tight fit so it can't move with extra padding on the muzzle that is secured to the muzzle so it can't easily come off. ie: wrap some bubble or foam wrap and zip tie it on the muzzle.

For extra points, wrap it in a plastic bag, use extra foam or cloth to pad it, etc. Wrap and secure any small parts that go with it so they don't end up scratching the rifle.

Or pickup a $10 soft rifle case when they're on special at Princess Auto and pop the rifle in one of those in a box.

Rifle loose in a big box = muzzle breaks through to freedom and gets fucked up by mad UPS guys or dragged on the sidewalk or some shit.

I shipped my Savage in the box it came in.

It is required by Canada Post (and probably others) that when shipping a firearm it must be trigger locked, and the box does not say "Firearm" or anything on it, hence why when you buy a gun online, the box comes wrapped in brown paper.

As for protection, I put bubble wrap and packing paper inside the box.

Thanks everyone- that info helps.
