D.R.D. Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I'm looking for a mid-range hard case that can accommodate a 308AR (~38" long) as well as a second complete upper that's about the same length. I've got shorter Plano cases for my AR15, and they work great. I was looking at this one, but not sure both the full scoped-rifle plus the second upper will fit. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0029KDHQI/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1F8EFV7SLH2Y8&coliid=I2L6WZ9ECXOX5M http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000P583SQ/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1F8EFV7SLH2Y8&coliid=I7F32QJOMQ3FP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) Im a fan of soft cases they fit better in tight spaces. I like the vodoo bags with 2 gun compacity in a backpack option.. With mag pouches . I also have some allen soft cases for a desent price range? Hard case and a smaller compartment (hatch) dosnt work well with others? Also my reasoning for soft case they dont take up much room empty? I have 4 hard cases collecting dust! I wonder if i have shits in them i should be using..?

A 1720 should meet your 38" requirement with a 42" interior. http://www.lapolicegear.com/pe17ca1.html?gclid=CIG-5fKQ48sCFQdqfgod6cUBnQ I recently added some kaizen foam inserts to my 1750. I cut different inserts with a home made hot wire cutter so I can have lots of configurations with one case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtallen83 Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Plano now makes a good option in their all weather line, I have one and it is right there with the Pelican for much less money; http://www.planomolding.com/tactical/all-weathertm-cases/108192 For a bit more they have a Mil-Spec version; http://www.planomolding.com/tactical/field-lockertm-mil-spec-cases/109501 Both do very well in comparison reviews.

82HALO Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Don't see anything about their warranty. Pelican is life time no questions asked, breaks they replace it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Plano is not as clear as they should be but basically if "LIF" appears in the UPC then it is covered for life. Here is a basic review of several brands of cases; http://www.petersenshunting.com/gear-accessories/case-study-best-hard-rifle-cases-right-now/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue109 Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I've gotten about 95% of the stuff I've ordered from them lol. Sometimes they post a deal too good to ignore. I just always plan on a refund so I'm happy if it actually shipps and not overly disappointed if it doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I got pissedat them when the "customer service" lady couldn't figure out why I wouldn't give her my credit card info over the phone because I couldn't pay for mags with pay pal.

It is a Mastercard linked to your PayPal balance and has to be accepted everywhere Mastercard is. I have bought 4 or 5 guns with mine and have never been questioned. Try that with your standard PayPal account and they will lock it. Get the debit Mastercard if you do not want another credit card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
