Recommendation request for best quality double rifle take-down travel case.

[Schüler Jumbo]

Hello everyone,

I would appreciate reading your current recommendation for best quality double rifle take-down travel case. The case should be designed to survive commercial airline baggage handling, bush plane travel (which isn’t too terribly rough on cases), and bouncing around with cased rifle in the back of a lorry.

Thank you for your input.

TUFFPACK 1132 OR 1136

I would never ever put a quality gun in a tuffpack. You'll have TSA pulling the barrels and action out and then stuffing them back in however they can make them fit with whatever you stuffed in the case to protect them. Begging for a damage disaster.

@AZDAVE has an excellent recommendation. Serial numbers easily read by inspectors and intuitively obvious how to put anything back. It also has the advantage of only needing a single lock.

Another is the Pelican V700. It and whatever you put in it will be very nearly indestructible. https://www.tequipment.net/Pelican/...PHm4PTCE88xAevJpHAgt2WTUbDsQTNhzb4FZMxuWXDG7U
I put screw rivets in two of the lock holes so I only have to use two locks.

Kalispel or Pelicase. There are some 'new old stock' Americases for sale here.

Avoid buying unbranded cases - they are often made in China and will not properly secure the rifle so that it will rattle around inside the case.

eBay is a good place to find second-hand gun cases.

+1 for the pelican case.

NEVER THOUGHT TWICE ABOUT STICKING OUR DOUBLE RIFLES IN A MURRAY S-10 AND DROPPING THEM IN A TUFFPAK. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM

I’m planning to buy “new” and view this case decision as my first line of defense insurance policy against damage therefore cost of case is secondary to buying best quality.

Thank you for your input thus far. It’s been several years since I purchased a travel case thus I’m not current on top tier options.

Pelican 1700. There are aftermarket companies that will custom fit foam however you want it. I had mine done at GunFoam.com.
