5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Rifle Case and Very Versatile, April 16, 2010

I've been hauling my rifles around for years. Some of them are quite expensive and I wanted something that would protect them well. This case has three layers of foam. The two side layers are left solid to protect the contents, while the middle layer can be custom cut to almost any shape you need. That locks in the gun without putting too much pressure on it like cheaper cases. Making the cutouts just a bit smaller than the gun shape will keep them nice and tight, but still easy to insert and remove.

The plastic exterior is fairly thick and very rugged. It looks and feels like it would take a good beating and hold up just fine. There are four very thick heavy-duty clasps that hold it closed. Hinges and material feel very solid. No apparent weak spots in the moving parts.

One side, at one end, of the case has two small diameter wheels. These wheels are fairly wide though and made of some very hard rubber material. Pelican put an extra carry handle at the other end of the case so that you could just grab that end and let the other end roll along on the floor, cutting your carry weight in half. There is also the traditional side handle though in case you want to carry it in the conventional manner.

There's also a little pressure release valve for pressure equalization or some such thing, but I haven't fiddled around with that at all so I'm not really sure how useful it is.

All-in-all I'd have to say that this is one tough cookie. I've been using it for about 6-7 years and it has held up well. I'd get another one exactly like it in a heartbeat.

Oh, and another feature that I'd like to point out is the availability of additional foam inserts. For about $50 you can get a 3-pack. With that, you can have four different sets of custom cutouts for various gun combinations that you might want to carry. I did this and can quickly switch from one that has my AR-10 and AR15, over to another that supports my MP5 and MP5K, along with accessories. Or another switch and I can carry the HK91 and HK93.

A lot of people don't think that you need to spend this kind of money on a case, but take it from me it matters! I've been shooting competitively for years now and nothing is worse than buying a cheap case and having to completely reset your optics after a flight. Spend the money upfront or waste time afterwards just getting back to square one. This is my third pelican case so now I don't have to switch out the inserts when I bring different setups. But switching the foam inserts is a way to save a little money if you want. Also if your looking for a double firearm case for an AR-15 style weapons system you can usually do it with this case. Although if you are going to try and put two 20" barrel AR-15 it's going to be really tight. Also be careful cutting the foam make sure you have the layout exactly how you want it before you start cutting or you can end up with a real mess!

Fit my AR 15 16" just fine, with room for my second DPMS 24" barrel and STILL has room for another barrel and 4 or 5 mags.
