    pelican cases make what you are looking for, but they are spendy,

    I bought a Boyt case for my AR but they ain't cheap. I made a foam cutter to cut the foam.BOYTH36.jpgIMG_0026.jpg

    you can also get unlined insulation foam about 2 inches thick and use a small hand saw to easily saw through it after marking outline with pan and adding and extra 1/4 inch around all sides and then lining foam in velvet (leaving extra in pockets for parts of rifle to fall in

    it would take about 3 hours to do if your case sides are fairly straight like phatbobs is, and comes out looking like its for display

    Depending on how much you like the rifle, I'd go with the pelican case. I use dremel to cut out my foam, cleaner cut.
