Looking for some hard case suggestions. Most of the shooting spots I go are 4x4 access only, so I would like a little bit more protection than a soft case bouncing in the bed or cab of my truck. I've been eyeballing This but the $600 price tag is a bit off-putting. I could buy a few Pelican cases and cut them for a few of the rifles for that price. What I do like about it is the universal-ish fit. I don't like the idea of buying a dedicated case for each precision rifle, each AR, etc. Not to mention finding a place to store all of the cases when they are empty/at the house. What are the other options for a solid universal case? Edit: So far, I've found the following that look interesting. Anyone have one? The initial one I linked is WAY too short. http://www.casesbypelican.com/1750G.htm (egg crate type foam, no dedicated cuts) $293 http://casecruzer.com/shipping-carrying-cases/kr5115-06/index.html (egg crate type foam, no dedicated cuts) $264.82 http://www.casecruzer.com/guncruzer/universal-gun-kr50/modular-case/gun-case-2cm-index.html (interesting design, not sure how well it protects) $394.74 http://www.casesbypelican.com/pelican-double-rifle-case.htm (not too sure about this design either) $363.91 |

You really don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on a pelican or similar case unless you really want to, especially if you don't fly with them alot.
Flambeau makes some pretty darn good hard cases that aren't a whole lot of money. Hell I have one of these cheap things that I haven't managed to break in the last 3 years. Have carried around all manner of guns that it holds securely and I typically throw it in the bed of my truck on the way to the range. Those Flambeaus are a little heavier construction though. You could also try something crazy like tying down your gun cases if you are extreme offroading to get to your shootin spots
