I need some input on a double rifle hard case. Budget is $400 tops. I am considering Pelican, Boyt, and SKB. Any other suggestions? I need it to be rugged, and I want the toughest case I can get, preferably American made. I have over 4K in both rifles, and am buying it to protect my investment. Any input appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Ive used my pelican case on airlines without a problem, and if you ever seen the way some baggage handlers treat them... never a problem with the rifle inside (yet)

two bolt action savages. 48 inches long, and 15 inches wide, 6 inch height. Anybody know of a case that fits these specs?

Storm cases are now owned and manufactured by Pelican. Either one would be a solid choice.

Pelican, unless you need to make it more complicated for absolutely no reason.

Re: Need advice on hard case for 2 rifles
Another alternative worth looking at are the Boyt Tactical hard cases...built like Pelican/Storm, and priced competitively. Personally I've always hated Pelican's latches, but Boyt uses a rotating-handle draw latch that's much easier to close on an over-stuffed case. Same durability, wheels on the end, folding handles, pressure valve, etc. And made in the USA.
The H51 case measures 51" x 15" x 6", and is priced at $199 right now...you can always go for a smaller case size, but that one will be enough to hold two rifles and plenty of accessories. We've got them in stock right now, ready to ship.

The Pelican 1750 for sure.

I've had mine for 4 years now and it still works like the day I bought it. Doesn't look new though.

Stormmcase or Pelican (Stormmcase has better designed latches)
(Pelican has better wheels). Both have same colors (Green, Tan or Black) and lifetime warranty.
Both great products. Get it from Planet Optics prices are great and shipping is free to anywhere in US
