One item that is closely related to the rimfire rifle is a case to carry it in. This is often given very little attention and almost any case that will hold the rifle is placed in service, but a fine case that fits properly is a good investment. Many cases simply are not proportioned well for a rimfire rifle, which is often shorter than a rifle in a centerfire caliber. Good cases are not expensive with many of the models with nylon shells selling for around $20 or so. If you are so inclined, a heavy canvas duck case with leather trim can be obtained for around $50 or so. Finally, if you expect travel by air with your rimfire rifle you will need a case that meets FAA requirements. Probably more shooters take centerfire rifles on long hunting trips by means of air travel, but it is not uncommon for the rimfire enthusiast to take his or her special rifle to competitive events or on that special prairie dog shoot. The lockable hard case that meets FAA requirements may become a necessity for such shooters.
