What Gun Case?

[JBiggs]

Hey All,

Just wondering what case all of you are using when throwing your gun in your truck? I'm looking for a couple new cases for my rifles. One of the rifles is a 26" barrel with a brake and the other is an AR with a bull barrel. Any suggestions of cases to stay away from?

Thanks, JBIggs

Pelican obviously.

That said, I have a heavy Plano case for a carbine that has been through a lot. We flew with it and loaded it as heavy as allowed with tools and diving equipment and it came home just how it left.

I use a cheap padded soft case for truck transportation. I've never had a need for a hard case in my truck. I use a Pelican 1750 for airline travel.

The Pelican 1750 for a hard case or the review below for a soft case.

When I don't use a hard case I have been using this one from Amazon, reasonable and the pockets are great.

I added some extra foam to hang it from the UTV seats, seems to work really well.

Pelican 1750 here as well. On a related note, you can buy extra peices of the closed cell foam to have custom cut outs for different rifles. (I use an electric knife to make the cut outs)

yeah for driving back and forth to my hunting spot, just a soft padded case, cordura or similar with padding. when i went cross country for elk, had each rifle in a relatively cheap hard plastic case with foam inside. now if air travel or rifle will really be getting tossed around, then i have a cabela's aluminum case with serious foam inside.

I never cut my foam. I always take one piece of foam out and put my rifle or shotgun in a soft case then put it in the Pelican. That way when I get to my destination, I can ditch the hard case and still have the protection of the soft case.

I've gone through several different soft cases and only buy the MidwayUSA Heave Duty Scoped cases now.

I like the internal straps to hold my gun in place, ample padding and a good size pocket on the outside to hold rifle specific items and the price can't be beat.

I just picked up a RTIC hard case during their sale. My old Plano hard case was starting to wear out.
It’ll be a wait and see about the new case. Reviews state not as good as a Pelican, but close.

I usually have my scope guns in a hard case or in a rack in my truck for most hunting. Too paranoid about things bumping into it.

I have a Cabelas version of the 1750. Armor extreme i Think is the model. Its a nice case but man the cooler cases are heavy for general use.

I finally sprung for a Pelican 1750. Should have done it a long time ago after buying cheap ones that didn’t last.

I got 2 of these thru "gun deals" app a year ago @25 $ each, really impressed with how it performs, the pockets hold more crap than I care to carry, very well made

As mentioned several times already- Pelican 1750 for long-distance trips or flying.

For soft cases I like the Triad Tac. Not cheap, but very well made and nice feature set. Also, for a bit less dollars but still decent quality, the Shoot-Long cases are nice. But only one size and its lllooonnnggg.
