5.0 out of 5 stars Solid heavy indestructible case, worth the extra money, September 13, 2008

I've bought many rifle cases over the years. After buying this one I haven't needed to buy any more. When it comes to travelling with long guns as checked luggage in the hold of an airplane, some cases are obviously too flimsy to protect your valuable goods from baggage handlers. Others seem sturdy but are destroyed after one trip.

I've read online somewhere that large oversized luggage of any type is frequently targeted for special abuse by baggage handlers. They see this as a lesson to travelers who make their job more difficult. In one online account, an ex-baggage handler told how he and co-workers would intentionally try to break the wheels off of overly heavy rolling suitcases.

On one trip a large seemingly sturdy metal rifle case of an other brand was completely destroyed after just one flight. One of the two locks was smashed, as was a hinge and corner cap. A large dent was gouged out in the side. Inside the case, my rifle's rear iron sight was broken. After that I realized I needed something better.

This SKB case could survive even the gorilla-in-the-cage abuse from the old American Tourister TV commercials. The SKB is designed with protection against such intentional abuse in mind. Heavy molded plastic bumpers protect the hinges, corners and locks. Vertical and longitudinal ribs of thicker plastic protect the contents. Somewhere there is a website that show this brand of case surviving a truck driving over it with the contents undamaged. At only approximately twice the price of lesser cases it gives you peace of mind when tranporting your valuable firearms. The case is heavy at over 20 lbs and may create weight issues loaded with two 10 lb rifles or shotguns. The double gun model conveniently has sturdy low profile wheels for easy rolling.

I purchased this case for my husband and he loves it. According to him, it secures two scoped rifles without any shift when he handles the case. His two Savage rifles have oversize bolts and the case closes w/o any trouble. He likes the locks and the wheels are an added bonus. It's very sturdy and well constructed. It is heavy when fully loaded so it's nice to have a padded carry handle. All interior sides are cushioned for all around protection. It hasn't been airline tested yet, but it looks ready to handle that challenge.

I ponied up the extra money for this case based on what I was seeing in the various sporting goods stores, i.e. Bass Pro Shops, Sports Authority, etc. I needed something to protect some older shotguns I inherited recently. I wanted a case to protect them as well as keep my young son out of them should he decide to get nosy and I think I've found it in the SKB. While I have not traveled with it yet, I feel it could handle anything the airlines could dish out. Solid, sturdy construction throughout and the lifetime warranty puts my mind at ease.
