I would suggest the base would be best out of treated ply.
Inside is 4 3/4"x1 3/4"
Wall Thickness is about 1 1/8"
Depth is 1 3/4"
Base is probably 1/2" max

Tony,

The base has aslope inside the base to allow the rifle butt to sit correctly. It is thicker one end than the other. Don't fall for the trap of making them flat as the rifle won't rest easy.
