THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
I have a Franklin Arms HSC-15, basically their version of the AR-14 in the M4 version. The hard shell case it comes in is not the best, nor the biggest. I have a carry handle on the rifle and the rifle just fits inside the case. I have a scope for the rifle, but have to remove it to put the rifle in the case. Due to health and financial reasons I've had the rifle for almost a year and haven't even shot it yet, but I may end up getting into some 3-gun matches soon if my health holds, so I don't need a heavy duty case, just something nice. My local gun store says they have a nice soft case for $70 that I plan on checking out, but thought you folks would have ideas on a nice case that has pockets for mags, etc that I should check out, so am asking for recommendations to look at.
Thanks in advance.

If funds are tight, take a look at this Tactical Case. I don't have this, but I do have their tactical pistol case and it is very well made and worth the money. I currently use the VooDoo Tactical and like it. Good luck with your search for the perfect tactical rifle case.

I've had good luck with Condor cases. The three that I have continue to strike me as middle of the road in terms of quality and cost, and they've been toting my ARs, mags, and a few support items to/from the range nicely for a few years.

Looks like a great case, but the photos show it will hold a rifle with a carry handle or scope, not a carry handle with a scope. Was hoping to get one where I wouldn't have to remove the scope after it's been all sighted in and the scope is mounted on the carry handle. Oh well, I may have to modify.
Thanks

Poor reading comprehension on my part; I was thinking a flat-top with a scope. These definitely do not have room for a carry handle mounted scope.
