Plano rifle cases

[dwtt]

Hi everyone,
I received my new rifle and I'm looking for a big rifle case for transporting. I have seen some of those plastic Plano rifle cases and was wondering if anyone has an experience with them. Are they tough and do they last? Are they sturdy enough to hold a 26 lb rifle? Do they keep out water when it rains? Thanks for any input.

26 pounds? what are you lugging around, a rifle made of lead?

Seriously though, I would love to know what the rifle is

Pelican dosen't make a case big enough to carry my 35lb rifle

Hehe, how do you fit that Barrett in a safe? Have to break it down?

Sorry, that was a typo. The rifle weighs 27 pounds. Here's a picture, I hope it comes through.

damn you, you lucky bastard. On the other hand, I sure hope thats not you in the picture, it would be damn painful to shoot I think

I would avoid the plastic Plano cases for the application you have in mind. One of their aluminum cases might be more suited for your Barrett.

Personally, I would recommend going with a Pelican case. But then, I am also slightly biased towards their products due to my military background and using their stuff almost exclusively.

The 1750 series should handle up to a 50" firearm.

Or you could look into the SPC-1759GC, which should handle a firerarm up to 48".

I am sure there are other options, but this is just my .02 worth for you.
