| Need to see if I am crazy or not. Looking at buying a new gun case but not sure if I should spend the money on a pelican or not. I have looked at the Larue cases also. I use my gun at a couple of different ranges and varmint hunting a little. I have some good money in my gun and optic which is a Noveske with a Leupold Mark 6 optic. |

Whats 200, 300 for a pelican? I spent that much on my $1600 rifle. |
| Hard cases are not a necessity in a lot of situations. The only reason I bother with a hard case is whenever I need to carry the rifle in the bed of the truck with all my other crap (steel target stands, etc). Soft cases are going to be fine for pretty much most vehicle transportation. |
| A Pelican is the extreme case (toughness). There is no need to go extreme unless you really need it. A Plano AW hard case, Cabela's tactical hard case, SKB, etc will serve you just as well (and all are Airline approved). Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Pelican, as IMHO they ARE the best for serious duty protection... however, 95% of people do NOT need the type of protection for their firearm. IMO, save your money, and buy something OTHER than a Pelican. |

Pelican is top of the line. I have a brand new Pelican 1720 that I am willing to let go if anyone is interested, though. I am picking up my M&P 15 sport in a week and this case is not going to fit that AND my Mossberg!
Edited to add: I am asking $150 for the case and buyer pays actual shipping unless you are in the Raleigh-Durham area and can pick it up. |
