Help with gun travel case

[Anti Obama]

Looking to buy a travel case that holds one rifle or 2 plus 4 handguns any deals I should know about or what direction to go thanks.

What is your budget?

Hard case or soft case?

[Anti Obama]

Hard case if possible no more than $300

Define travel. Going to the range travel or airline travel?

Range

You sure you want a hard case for the range? More often than not, it's overkill. Something like a Pelican case is bulky and heavy. A soft double rifle case is a lot easier to manage and probably a lot cheaper.

For a hard case to hold 2 rifles and 4 pistols, you're probably looking at something like this...well above your budget.

You can get a nice double rifle case and a range bag for your handguns for under $300. Look at Uncle Mikes.

These are really nice for the price. The foam is that pluck-n-pull style that allows you to fully customize it. Could work for a single rifle and 3 or 4 pistols. Overkill for your intended use but again, a solid case.

Otherwise for $25 each you could get 2 or 3 of those cheap Plano cases. Work fine for to and from but they are too flimsy for rough handling.

Looking for a nice quick draw 5 pistol(or more maybe, I doubt it) case myself. But those caseclub people, they want like $200 for one.

A pick n' pluck pistol pack? LOL! (Psych).

For your intended use, a hard shell case may be a bit overkill. Also, it becomes harder to stow a hard shell case at the range. Weight also becomes an issue. Put 4 or 5 pistols and two rifles and you're talking some serious weight as well as bulk. Even if it has wheels, you have to make sure your path to and from the range is all concrete and it will be easy to wheel past any obstacles.

I had put all of my pistols in my range bag and it just made it way too heavy to lug around (me and the wife hit the range). So, it included eyes, ears mags etc. I wound up breaking the pistols down into two smaller soft cases and put the rest of the gear in a separate range bag. Ammo also was separate.

Hope you find something that works out for you.

Happy shooting and be safe.

I use the cheaper hard cases for going to the range. For travel I have several higher dollar Al cases.
I do not see a hard case as overkill at all. I do not want my firearms to be beat up on the drive. The hard cases protect the scopes(and rifle/pistol) better than a soft case. I haul mine in the back of my P/U. I have 6 double and 3 single rifle plastic cases I use for rifles and a number of hard pistol cases plus factory ones.
I also have a collection of soft rifle and pistol cases. On the odd day I take my car I do use the soft case since I will only have 14 firearms to shoot and no chrono equipment.

So depending on what you are hauling in the case and what you are driving both types have their place. Only you can decide.

Caseclub is a little pricey but they are quality cases. i have the 3 gun plus accessory case and it is rock solid.
