Re: Here's one
I saw that one. I was hoping to get a newer one where he rear lock is recessed ino the back of the box. It prevents you from scratching your fellow shooters boxes.

Older is better
In my 20 years of Bullseye shooting. The older Pachmyer boxes are much nicer and are better constructed than the newer version. This box is excellent condition. For the price you can't go wrong. This box is 10 times the box of the newer Gunho. Note, You may have to lower the tray, if it was designed for iron sights.
Just something to think about.

Lower Tray?
Rick,
How would you lower the tray in a Pachmayr> Are the ledges similar to the ones in a Gun Ho?
BTW, I bid on it. There is also one on Gunbroker.com

Re: Pachmayr Gun Box thoughts
My 2 cents. I just got my first lightly used (4 gun) gun-ho box a few months back. My initial observation is that they are well built and do hold pistols securely. However, the interior layout is no engineering wonder. You waste allot of room in the tray if only one or two guns are being hauled. There are a few other features that could be improved on as well. Namely, if left in the open position ( to use the door mounted scope) ejected brass tends to bounce off port partitions and end up all over the box. The area on the bottom is adaquate but provides no seperation of ammo, glasses, muffs, tools etc. One slight tip of the box when carring and everything is in a pile. Lastly, there is also no place to neatly stack/carry targets. A target tray would be a big help.
FWIW, I'm considering building my own from light plywood/ aluminum case to correct these issues.

Re: Pachmayr Gun Box thoughts
If you're skilled enough and have the time and tools building your own, it is probably the best way to go. The ejected brass is a bigger problem for those lefties that shoot to the right of a righty. I just gave the Gun-ho address for information purposes, I've never owned one of theirs (I have an older five gun Pachmayr)

Lower the Pachmayr Tray
To lower the tray requires a little bit of time and fabrication.
I cut out the old shelf, which the tray sits on. Made a new shelf from Finn Birch Plywood, similiar to Marine Plywood. and used some Aluminum Angle to attach it to the box with small wood screws.
It a bit of a pain. But, in my opinion the old Pachmayr case is much nicer than the new Gun Ho.
The tray design is what really makes the differance.
I have an old Gun Ho. Built back in the 70's which has a tray more like the Pachmayr, which I have modifided to hold the scope guns.
You won't be unhappy with used Pachmayr Case.
Good Luck,
Rick
