Pelican iM3200 Storm case from Cabela’s at half price. It was half price because it turned out that the number of “points” I had saved up equaled half the cost of the case. So I paid $115 for a $230 case. I made cutouts in the middle foam layer to accommodate my 20” M16A4 replica, plus 7 30-round magazines (1 in the gun) and a suppressor. It is by far the nicest of my hard-shell rifle cases.
The Sam’s Club case is not made to the same specs, but who cares? For that price, it seems eminently worth it. For
my purposes, it would be less about protecting the pistols I put in it, than it would be about being able to transport a lot of pistols to the range in one convenient package that I don’t have to
CARRY. As my back continues to degrade, and with a torn meniscus in my right knee and a torn tendon in my left ankle, it is harder and harder for me to carry the weight of a rifle case from the car to the firing line. I’ve become Mr. Gimpy. Having a hard case with wheels on one end and a handle on the other is a blessing. So I am going to pick up one of these cases from Sam’s Club, and I’m grateful to Puma Guy for having posted about it. Us old poots have to stick together.
You're righ us old poot need to organize.
I think you'll be pleased with the case. What you have in mind is one of the uses I was contemplating after I realized it's probably too big for carry on luggage. Pelican cases are top notch. On the level of Halliburton briefcases . My bro' was VP and GM of a company with 5 camera stores in Houston and they were dealers for Pelican, Halliburton, Hoffritz, Kel Lite, Streamlite, another line of rechargeable flashlightes favored by LEO and FF back in the day. The were also a Bianchi dealer. I wish I'd taken advantage of the deep discounts he got. I only bought a couple of small cases and two or three flashlights.
