Rifle Case recommendations

[D.R.D.]

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.

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..?

may be a little more than you want to spend but you cant beat a pelican for a hard case. A 1720 should meet your 38" requirement with a 42" interior.

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

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;

For a bit more they have a Mil-Spec version;

Both do very well in comparison reviews.

Don't see anything about their warranty. Pelican is life time no questions asked, breaks they replace it!

[jtallen83]

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;

Don't order anything back ordered from them. Don't pay with paypalPayPal

[blue109]

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.

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. I even told her I'd had my info stolen to much and I didn't wanna risk it....

Got it here last time I ordered.

If you search on how to make a hot wire foam cutter from doorbell transformer you'll be cutting it up like a pro!

If you get the PayPal debit card it can be used on anything. 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.

It isn't a credit card. It is a Mastercard debit card. No credit line tied to it. It is tied to your PayPal balance. If you don't have funds in your PayPal account it will decline.

Handled some of these, medium to high end cases. Very solid... Airport monkey proof !?!
