Wanted a (BIGGER) gun case

[eekjellander]

I found out my case will not accommodate my newest rifle . Howa 1500 with target stock/ Leupold 8x24x50 with drop tube/bolt /range rod / range book . Won't close and don't want to break something like scope level Any suggestions on where to find such a case new /used ? Only use is for riding in UTV /truck to club ranges . Now that it's getting warmer I can be shooting daily but a soft case won't cut it , I need something drop proof . Almost ran over a gun last year .Thanks for any suggestions/Ed

Outline the rifle with a piece of white chalk, then use an electric knife to cut out the form. The electric knife works perfectly.

Better price Exact case as Pelican. Half the price! I found on sale, $40 less.

Also for higher end cases and can be TSA approved. The Pelican case above is not TSA approved.

Negrini

For my two barrel

That case from Harbor Freight isn't 25% of what a Pelican case is. I've seen and handled them.

PELICAN CASES ARE TSA APPROVED.

Go Pelican!

Not sure I can agree. Where are the differences?
3232 reviews HF and 4.8 out of 5 stars

I got the Pelican with a rifle I bought recently. The seller said he could not check the pelican on airline flight when he traveled. The reason I got the Negrini case.

But, please show me the differences between HF and Pelican? Both sitting on the floor of my garage. Have the same weight and watertight seal.

@ENCORE50A I Do very much respect your opinions. You are one of the people I follow.

The case at HF is a knockoff, an attempt to copy. Its just like the Harris bipods being copied all over the world. Yes, I have one of the cheap knockoff Harris bipods.

As far as TSA approved, there's two ways you can verify what I'm saying. Google: are pelican cases TSA approved
Or....... call Pelican themselves and ask about the 1750 and if it's TS approved.

Here's just one. You can google the others.......... https://besttravelluggage.com/pelican-gun-case/

I own several Pelican cases. All have wheels to roll it around airports. Almost a dozen flights never had a problem. Loaded to 50 lb domestic airline weight limit. I use a portable quality spring scale when loaded to 48/49 lbs. Never had to pay overweight charges because was never overweight. Alaskan airlines allows 50 lbs ammo, others at 15 lbs.

My Pelican case has served me well.

My Pelican case has served me well.

My apologies. I did not mean to "down" Pelican. I also have a few, myself and they have saved some fragile equipment.
