Best soft rifle case for Alaska

[snipe10]

Need a soft rifle case for bush plane travel in Alaska, Want as much protection as I can get and obviously needs to be durable. What have you guys used? Was looking at the scoped Galco rifle case, seems durable, but pricy at approx. $150. I'm ok with the price if it's the best. Thanks,

Bush pilots encourage customers to use soft sided gun cases when flying out in bush Alaska. That special long gun deserves special protection. The NOMAR gun...

$135

I will buy one next time I go! Mine ended up in the Sag river under the boat! Was only running a hard case for the travels up to the north slope . Not again

Flew into the Brooks years ago and I had a saddle blanket type case for my rifle and the pilot said I couldn't take the case. We argued back and forth and he finally let my Dad and I keep our rifles In soft cases. Maybe that's a thing but I didn't want my rifle just sitting on all the gear without some sort of protection.
I would definitely talk to your pilot and see what he wants. Maybe save yourself an argument.

Maybe call Marsupial Gear and see when they are selling theirs?

I’m a big fan of the nomar cases. They cushion the rifle and keep elements out.

Another fan of the Nomar case for transport on drop-hunts and float-trips...padded, durable, waterproof, and it floats.

I have both the Nomar and the Yukon. The nomar is professional grade and the Yukon is not but is probably good enough for your fly in hunt. You will pass the Nomar on to your grandkids.

In the market as well. Thanks for the info all.
