Refractor road case

Australian made road case utilising high end components, extendable handle & wheels. I had this extremely heavy duty case made a few years back. It has housed multiple sizes of refractors & has traveled by road & air on multiple occasions, case & instruments always arrived undamaged & dry. Sizing in images, high density padding easily removed or added depending of scope size. Original purchase price was over 1K, happy to see it getting used by someone wanting to provide the best protection for their refractor & looking to sell for $250.

How big?

Rob,
What’s the maximum size refractor that would fit safely?

Hi Ken,
bit difficult to answer without knowing intended scope’s minimum retracted length. I can say it has comfortably been home to a W/0 flt 120mm f/6.5, SSTAR 140mm f6.5 & if I removed 10mm of foam would also fit an APM 152mm f6. The maximum retracted length of intended scope would need to be no more than 750mm, hope this helps.

I know I know just shipping cost. I just spent a bit on some gear and waiting on a soft bag to arrive but this thing is nice.
