I got a Troll 245 in my WSX-treme container now. Just bought a Black jack 260 0p.
Do anybody now if it will fit in my WSX container?

what kind of question is that? pack it and you will see if it fits or not

I recently ordered a new rig, and wanted to get a BJ 260 w/ CUS in a WSX-treme, but Kathy strongly suggested I get the Helium instead.

Chances are, it will fit, but it's likely to be tight.

Newbie Question:

Isn't it bad for a BASE container to be tight?

SKY rigs and virgins sure fine, but on a
BASE container it seems like that might
increase the tension on the...

Oh, you live Norway, nevermind, guess
that is not as much of concern as it is
here in flat land with 1 second delays

Hehe yeah, agreed on the sky rigs and virgins.

My BJ 280 CUS fits pretty tight in my current Gargoyle, I had to lengthen the closing loops a little in order to get pin tension I was happy with. It seems to work fine for everything from WS terminal to go and throws (yes, we have those here too).

You just have to be a little more careful with packing.

I think it depends on several factors.

1. A rig that packs soft in Florida is liable to be a brick in Arizone.

2. Personal preference. Some people like bricks. I don't. I think it jelly-rolls the pack-job.

3. If you have to struggle to close the container and the only pin tension you can get is extremely tight with the closing loops made as big as possible. You need a bigger container.

YFMV.

troll 245 is almost the same size as BJ 260, so I cant see why it doesnt fit...thats why I thought the post was quite funny...anyway...pack and try :)

from Troll Manual: 245 ft.2 = PIA spec 260

I believe he's concerned about the ZP foreskin. You may have missed that, he wrote it as "0P".

yep, didnt noticed that....thanks ;)
