So I received my new Precise 9003 yesterday. It is shipped in a nice Plano case that resembles a Pelican case in design. It is actually a nice case, with the o-ring seal etc. I also like that it is relatively short, but when I assembled the rifle, it will not fit in the case unless I take the buttplate off. Why is it so short? Are you supposed to disassemble to transport?
As a side note, this is my second 9003. The first one came is a super cheap "walmart" hard case. It was the type they sell for 10 bucks. This new 9003 also came with the front scope base. I had to buy a base for the first one at an additional cost of 60 bucks, and naturally I had to wait until the part arrived. So I am glad that Anschutz is getting better with their 9003 kit. Overall I am very pleased with the Precise stock. I think it was worth the upgrade for me. I could actually see a Precise 2007 in my future.

Everybody I know who shoots either an Anschutz or a Walther at our local club has to re-assemble their rig after/before transport. Mine is the same way - I either have to remove the buttplate assembly, or remove the muzzle extension tube .... one or the other.
If you don't want to perform any assembly then you'll have to go and buy one long gigantic gun case to accommodate a fully assembled rifle. It just seems to be the way it is .......
Congrats on the new rig, by the way ..... I wouldn't mind a precise stock one of these days ...
