What type of case do you use for Anschutz 1903

Also bolt in or out.

Definitely bolt out and decocked to spare the firing spring. I also use the special Anschutz blue bolt protector, which does the cocking and decocking for you. And quite a large hard case is what I use, so as to have room for all the bits and pieces, but I expect U.S. makes are not the same as British, so no specific recommendations.

I cannot find them for a 64 action in the usa

There is no bolt sleeve for the Match 64, not like the Match 64. This is becuase the 64 bolt works differently. The Match 54 bolt (and the Walther and FWB) can be decocked by turning the handle, as the cockking can is part of the handle. The Match 64 has a separate cocking piece at the rear. To decock the bolt the cocking piece has to be pulled back (against the tension of the spring) and rotated.

As for carrying the rifle, it's actually fairly sturdy, so a slip is fine if sights are removed. These can be carried separately in a padded case/box. An inexpensive camera case is useful.

Also bolt in or out.

I recommend investing in a good hard sided case. Cheap insurance for day to day use and a must have if you ever fly to a match. It is a one time investment if you do it right.

I have used an aluminum case for almost 25 years and have no regrets. For the aluminum cases, go with the .080" thickness as it is more rigid.

Some like the Pellican type cases, but they are bulkier and a little heavier than the aluminum cases, which makes a difference if you fly.

Always store and transport with the bolt out.

PS- where are you located in PA?

I believe Lowey Products (Australia) does make a bolt protector for the 64.

Don't store the rifle/bolt with the spring cocked.

I use a Pelican - they are very heavy and bulky - but have room for all the accessories. Well, all mine anyway.

Thanks for the input

Storm 3100 if you don't mind taking the tube and buttplate off.
Storm 3200 if you want to just drop it in the case.

I prefer the 3100 as it's lighter and you can get 2 rifles in it and make the 50lb weight limit. (You'll have to put the buttplates in your gearbag probably). If you shoot both Air & SBR I think this is the way to go.
I'll post a photo of my youngest daughter's case tonight.
