Daka Grid Organizers for Rifle Cases

The Daka is great. Try it out.

You have to use the "turret" platform (big cutout) for a rifle with a turreted scope on it or else the rifle won't sit flush. So, to get two in there I can cut the "turret" platform up to accommodate the second rifle's scope I guess.

Windage, elevation, or both?

I really detest protruding windage turrets.

It would either have to accommodate your windage or parallax/illum turret. It's the circled panel here. So to get both of my rifles in I'd have to remove pegs and cut a second opening in that panel to accommodate two turrets.

Before I order one and end up returning it...for the DAKA guys how does it accommodate a scope turret? Looks like I'm going to run into the same issue trying to get two rifles with scopes that have turrets on both sides.

Gotcha, couldn't tell if they're large enough for a turret.

Want me to grab you a pic of the SWFA turret in it? I can do that later after work!

Sure!

I do wonder if having that necessary alignment point will make it tricky to fit two rokstok'd rifles in the case. It's a pretty tight fit.

I lied: I just checked and the SWFA windage turret is SLIGHTLY too large to fit in the holes. Which means you have to put it (and the bolt) facing up into the soft padding on top.

Not a huge issue, but it means that you can’t put two Rokstock in there because they have to orient the same way.

A smaller turret would fit. The SWFA is just a touch too big.

Yeah but that to some degree negates the point of a constantly-customizable grid.

I figure that part will always be my bulkier scopes.

I've decided I really like mine.

I constantly change what I want to carry. Shoving a few hunt specific things in this afternoon...

DAKA system came in today, on sale on Amazon for ~$125. I'd say I prefer it to the Re-Set system on initial impression. Able to fit both rifles in with minimal movement lid open. Lid closed the parallax turrets dig into the top foam a bit. Elevation turrets don't touch the case walls, rifles can't bang into each other. Still playing with the foam blocks a bit.

The base foam that goes under the grid is too thick for a scope with two side turrets, lid won't close. So this picture is without that. You can see on the left where the grid rides up at the wheel well profile of the case. Might try to trim that profile out of the grid. Or install the base foam and cut the turret locations out of the grid. Magpul sells replacement panels if I screw it up too bad.

Seems there's no great modular option for a scoped rifle with two side turrets. Lame.

The instructions for my Daka said it’s not intended to work with the base foam and to remove it. It’s sitting in storage somewhere now.
