looking for a rifle case

I'm looking for a rifle case to hold my Superior Arms AR.

I currently have a soft case for my 16" AR. Its the MidWay Pro Series Tactical Rifle Case in 35". If i were going to drop a good amount of money on a nice case for my AR broken down I would go the Larue Covert case. If your set on a hard case I believe for the $175 Plano wants you can get a better case for not much more. Maybe look into a smaller case that carries your AR broken down if you like that.

Just picked up another Pelican from Amazon for cheaper than that. Cut your own foam.

1+ pelican for better quality and durability than gun guard.

A pelican is a better buy for the money. Can't tell on your link if it has wheels. Pelican does which makes for easier movement.

another +1 for pelican, they are pretty much the standard for gun protection, the 1720 would be a good one to consider

Pelicans are heavy. I use them but would like to have a lighter case for easier carry. I bought mine because I would rate them the best for getting banged around and not worrying about the rifle/scope having any issues. I have not seen a better set up for actual protection.

BEST for airline carry by far...

I've got an SKB. The latches don't hold up well although the're
warranted.
I'm going to buy Pelican next.

Midway has good prices on Pelicans. I have a 1750 which is a great rifle case. The 1720 would be a good choice.

+1 for the pelican..Get the one with the wheels. You've got a lot of money in your gun and you want the best.

I have the longer version of the case your looking at. It's a great case (use it for my custom benchrest rifle) although I didn't pay $175 for it. I use soft cases for my ARs.

Natchez had Eagle Discrete bags on sale a few weeks ago for $50.. I snagged a few.. pretty nice. Midway does a decent bag also. Unless you are going to be traveling by plane, really no need for a hard case.
