Good case for $91 and free super saving shipping. Latches are secure and case is strong. Only compliant is the "Pick 'N' Pluck foam. This is all right for light weight .223 rifles or other items. Not good for heavier items like a .308W rifle or larger calibers. Foam has a tendacy to distort and can break apart. I use my case for an Armalite AR-10 .308W rifle. I had to break it down into the upper and lower receivers in order to fit in the case.
I had to purchase glue in order to fix the Pluck foam. Very best glue is 3M Super 77 Spray Adhesive. Bought this at Staples. Hey, it was easy.
I realize it is not a Pelican case. If you travel the airlines, then go with the Pelican. For going to the local range this case suits my needs. I recommed that if you get this case, order a spare 3-piece replacement foam set. You can order this from Plano Molding Co. for $30 ($15 for the faom and $15 for shipping). My experience is once a case goes out of production or goes through a re-design you can never get replacement foam.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Secure, January 23, 2010

I bought this case to transport a rifle on an airplane while traveling. On the very first usage, one of the three hinge pins came completing out and was lost and another hinge pin had come part way out. Upon closer inspection, there is nothing to hold the hinge pins in other than friction. So the hinge pins come out easily just from handling and vibration. This defeats the security of the case and makes it pretty much useless for anything other than home storage or fully supervised transport. This is sad because the case itself is pretty nice. Hard plastic for durability and a foam insert that can be customized to fit your rifle shape. Integrated locks in two of the five latches. I give it two stars for those features but I would never feel safe traveling with this case again for fear the hinge pins would come out and provide unintentional access.
