Plano Gun Guard SE Series Gun Case, Black, Lockable Padlock Tabs for Travel, Gun Cases for Rifles and Gun Accessories

I bought this case from Plano (and one other from another manufacturer) to keep my airguns clean, safe and stored out of the way but accessible when needed again. I was totally tired of using the inadequate cardboard shipping boxes for storage; the rifles could move around freely inside with essentially no protection at all if they fell over or were dropped. That is, they wouldn't be protected unless I spent who knows how much money and time and effort trying to modify them to do a job for which they were never meant. Besides, I had a pumper pistol too, and it arrived in a clear-plastic, molded display container that basically had to be destroyed to get at the pistol and documentation inside, so there isn't even a cardboard box with which to experiment. As for my rifles, even if I managed to convince myself I'd adequately jimmied up the interiors of the cardboard boxes to make them somewhat safer, I'd still have to try to make the boxes themselves more long-lived and sturdier. Even then, I'd ALSO need to come up with some reliable way to be able to repeatedly open and close those boxes on demand. It might have been an interesting exercise in craft-work and maybe even somewhat fun, but I just couldn't see it. Plus, it goes completely against the grain to think I could start off with poor materials and expect to create something to do a job it would never do well, if at all. GIGO. It looks like I'll need to try something else. Altogether, I have three air rifles and one air pistol that need adequate housing, all of which my wife and I very much enjoy and all of which we want to keep clean. safe and out of the way when not in use -- but easy to get at when wanted: two different variable pump air rifles, one CO2 powered semi-automatic air rifle and finally, a variable pump pistol. Originally, my plan was to buy two similarly priced and configured cases from different manufacturers, compare one against the other, then buy one more based on whichever case I liked the best. I hoped one of the three would be able to hold not only a rifle, but the pistol too, but that remained to be seen. It seemed doable to me, so after doing some research online, I found this case from Plano (10470 Gun Guard SE Single Rifle Case, Black, 48 Inches) that turned out to be priced very competitively (the lowest price I could find for a hard case in fact), so I decided to order one and give it a try. Great! The case from Plano turned out to be perfect for my needs, doing everything I wanted and more. Not only will it keep any one of my rifles clean and safe, even when moved around a bit roughly, it actually had enough room and padding inside for two rifles! My two smallest fit without modification and one of them even has a laser sight mounted under the front of the barrel. It's a little snug, but neither rifle is up against the plastic sides or handle of the case, they don't rub up against each other and when the case is closed, they still stay put inside, even when the case is moved around (and I'm disabled and can't get anywhere without a walker, so the cases definitely see some rough handling). Very nice and I didn't have to order another rifle case after all. Making an already great situation even better, while I very much like the second case I bought, it really does accommodate only one rifle and the pistol, so the one Plano case not only saved me a couple of bucks by being the cheaper of the two, it better served my needs by doing the job of two cases, saving me even more dough. Sweet! To be doubly sure those two rifles stay in place no matter what (the case could be knocked over or dropped or something), I'm going to epoxy something to act as strap holders to the bottom interior (two on each end), cut slits for them in the foam padding, then add velcro straps for the barrel and butt stock of each rifle. That way, not only will the sandwiched egg-crate padding hold them in place (which it already does quite well), I'll also be able to strap them down firmly for even more security if they're dropped or something. I'm not planning to use the cases for anything other than basically simple storage in my home, with personal automobile travel somewhat remotely possible (I am disabled and basically just don't get out anymore), so this Plano rifle case turned out to be perfect for my purposes (and the other case is awesome too). I couldn't be happier with my purchases. For similar light duty anywhere, this Plano rifle case is perfect and a bargain besides. Highly recommended.

my sincerest thanks to everyone that was involved in getting this to me, especially you drivers, loaders and warehouse guys and gals. with that out of the way... Plano has some really great stuff for storage of items. you really can't go wrong with them and between Plano and MTM, they're all i ever use. PRO's: 1). well worth the money. you're not going to break the bank in buying them and should you find a Plano product being sold for an exorbitant price, contact them directly. 2). with a bit of fair upkeep, they'll last for years. i've got a Plano case that is nearly 20 years old. a few scratches, scuffs, and a couple of dings but a good wipe down with some Armor All and it's still looking good. 3). the foam lining is just rough enough and firm enough to keep everything in it's place without worry and it's easily replaceable. 4). extremely lightweight for it's size. does you no good to have a 30lbs case that you're not wanting to lug around just for it's weight and bulkiness. CON's: 1). this is not the case that you're going to go into the zombie apocalypse with. don't be stupid. 2). this is not going to fit all the tricked out, dicked out CoD inspired modification you might have installed. don't be stupid. 3). this is not for commercial travel even if you put a TSA approved lock set on it. the baggage handlers will have a field day with your stuff and while the case may arrive at your destination, the item(s) that were in it will be at somebody's baby mama's apartment. you'll know when they post their haul on their "gram" page. don't be stupid. 4). this is not waterproof, weatherproof or fireproof. Plano makes those types of cases but they are significantly more expensive. so don't be stupid. lastly... Amazon why does your review app want to know "what this item will be used for" and "what type of gun"? seriously. my information of items owned is the same as my medical information, none of anybody's business. don't have me get all HIPAA up in here.

This case is perfectly functional. It is not a case for air travel, it is good for putting in the truck to go hunting or to the range. Seems sturdy, latches work, has places for padlocks but that won't prevent someone getting in. It is plastic after all. I agree, that the foam was not secured to the case, however, this may be on purpose so that the end user can simply flip the foam if he or she chooses. It will work for me, if you are not traveling by air or require total waterproof, this is a good case, I would recommend.

My state (NY) requires guns to be locked in a hard case when transporting. No more soft cases allowed in the car. This is a good-quality case that meets our requirements.

Good case for the price. Not the worlds best hard shell as it's sort of flexible. I have a Mossberg Maverick 88 20-gauge shotgun and Winchester Wildcat .22LR rifle with a simple red dot in here for my son. I placed fabric glue between the backside of the foam and inside of the case to keep it in place when opening the case. I put 3 locks on it and it's doing fine. It's a range case, not a TSA travel case. There is no metal on the lock holes. I can put this in the back of the SUV with the weekends gear for the cabin.

Pro - Cheap cheap cheap and the latches aren't bad. Con - Flimsy construction, thin foam that you will need to re-glue in place, the carry handle isn't great, cannot fit a rifle with the bolt open. I got this for my .22 Marlin plinkster and Nikon scope. They say you should spend 10% the cost of what you are transporting on the case - so in hindsight I should have sprung for a case in the $25-30 range. On the plus side the case fits the rifle and high-mount 4x32 scope and should be fine for taking it to the range without worrying any hoplophobes. Also, because it technically locks (I say "technically" because a pair of scissors or a pen knife could get you in this case in seconds) it should allow me to comply with FOPA when traveling out of state. Some people have complained about the latches - I found they actually work quickly and easily. Did I mention it cost less than $20?!? On the down side the plastic and foam are thin - expect little to no crush resistance. The foam fell off both sides, but a few seconds with the hot glue gun should resolve that. The handle is formed by the two sides meeting but they don't quite lock into place so it's not a solid surface to grip on - hard to explain but mildly annoying when carrying. Finally, since the case itself is thin, as is the foam, I found it doesn't close well if I leave the bolt of the rifle open - which is how I like to transport it. I either have to close the bolt (which still causes the side to buldge) or remove it. Bottom line - if you are looking for something just good enough to get your rifle from the car to the range inconspicuously, this aught to do. If you plan on traveling or transporting your gun a longer distance - drop a few extra bucks for something more solid.

This is NOT a rock solid case. It is not something that will likely live up to daily use or too much abuse. However, if you are looking for a case to store rifles in that you will not be grabbing every 2 seconds - this will work fine. If you try to compare it to high end cases, you WILL be disappointed. That is NOT what this is. This is a GOOD case for casual use. A good case for storing or transporting a rifle now and again. Moreover, it is a GREAT CASE for the price!!! I have 3 cheap cases now, no issues which would keep me from buying more. But, I will hit a few negatives: It's a bit flimsy. Not the thickest plastic. It will allow you to misalign when closing. Fix: Align it correctly, aka USER ERROR. The foam will fall out sometimes when you open it. You can spray some spray adhesive to hold it in. Latches are sometimes a little finicky. Just look at them when you close it, problem solved. Those are the "problems" and really, not an issue at all when you consider the price. If you want a rock solid, bullet-proof case, add $100 bucks or more to the cost and buy one. If you want a good enough case, buy away. It sure beats ANY cloth or tarp style gun case I've used.

The case is a good value as I was looking for a very basic case, not too heavy or something that would not catch the attention of others (however, there is a "Gun Guard" logo stamped on both sides though, ha ha that I'll have to live with). The plastic is extremely thin and one could easily cut through the plastic with a knife which is the only negative thing I can say about it (it's thinner than the $30 cases I purchased 25 years ago that I still have). There are three holes for padlocks; one at each end and one in the middle of the case which is an added deterrent. The foam is thin (1/2"-3/4") and I like that because I plan to put in a 1" thick foam insert cut to the shape of the item to keep it more secure and more padded as well. I flipped over the bottom eggshell foam and I plan to glue the new foam to this section. The case closes well with the third layer of foam I added due to the thinness of the top and bottom layer of foam that came with the case. Overall, I am pleased with the purchase; the case came in a discreet plain box which I like, there was no damage and the case functions as intended.

Livraison Rapide, prix abordable possibilité de mettre 2 carabines qualitée correct. possibilité de mettre des cadenas .rien a dire tout est parfait a recommander.

For the price this is a great case. £33. The walls are thin and flimsy but the foam is good and the locks are OK. I will need to reinforce the sides and It is not suitable for sticky out charging handle type airsoft rifles (using this for a TM P90 and a pistol).

The product is way below PLANO quality and is not value for money. Very disappointed

Je recommande. Vraiment très bien pour le prix RAS

El maletín está hecho de plástico fino, no es el más rígido que he visto pero viene suficientemente bien rematado, con un acolchado de espuma adecuado para transportar un arma larga. Tiene dos puntos para candados, y cuatro pestillos. En general está bastante bien, lo recomiendo para transportar un arma larga (o varias cortas) para protegerlas, sin ser un maletín que soporte un maltrato considerable.
