Reddit reviews Plano Double Scoped Rifle Case w/Wheels

Plano double scoped rifle case for me. Love it. Affordable, durable and legit. Not. Big fan of the pluck foam so I bought some replacement foam for cheap and cut with turkey shears. Works like a charm!

I also have the tactical ar case from Plano and I'm equally as pleased with the quality of the product for the cost!

Plano cases are pretty good for the cost. And this particular one is HUGE with key locks on the latches. It's big enough to warrant the addition of wheels, so it's a bit awkward for someone to sneak or with the entire thing as well.

Under no circumstances would I ever turn them in! Getting a trigger lock is a perfectly fine storage solution. And either a gun safe (expensive) or double (two lock) locking storage case designed for rifles is good also.

Here is a case that may work for all three of the firearms.

UPS and Fedex suck equally as much, doesn't really matter which one you use. I would recommend printing out the two pages /u/qweltor and I linked and bringing those with you to your local UPS or Fedex service center (not a UPS Store or Fedex Kinkos, I mean actual UPS or Fedex service/distribution center.)

Be aware that the handgun will have to be shipped via an overnight or 2-day air service, which will be expensive. You can ship the shotgun to yourself via USPS which would be considerably cheaper. Also, be sure to box up the firearms before you take them into any USPS/UPS/Fedex location.

Assuming you're flying home, another option may be to purchase a relatively affordable hard case such as this, a couple of NON-TSA padlocks, and putting both guns in the case to fly with as checked baggage. The cost of the case and checked bag fee will be comparable to shipping overnight, but once done you'll still have the case for future use.

I agree with everything you said with one caveat. (Edit: This is just talking about the non budget series, I reread your comment, but keeping mine because the jist of it still stands. Agree on suggesting the budget series.)


Pelican cases are made to go to war, deal with baggage handlers, get shipped around the world with expensive and sensitive equipment inside and insure they come out the other side just fine.

They’re overkill for many people.

I have 4 pelican cases (yes, I have a problem... I need more pelican cases...) and I love them. But they are overkill for what I use them for.

A buddy was debating between the 1750 (I have one and brought it over for him to check out) and a Plano (this one, I think. Plano Double Scoped Rifle Case w/Wheels https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0029KDHQI/).

He ended up going with the Plano for half the money and spent the rest on Ammo. Not a bad choice by any means. For range trips the Plano is perfect. And I’m sure it’d handle just fine if/when he decides to fly with it.

It comes with foam, but the board won't fit unless you remove it. Doesn't really need the foam though. I have done over 30 round trip flights now with that case.

If you live in a humid area or run a swamp cooler frequently, those security cabinets would not do much against rust even with a dehumidifier as they usually are riddled with holes for bolts and have no good seal (could probably plug them pretty easy though). When I had to store my rifle for an extended amount of time I purchased water/air tight and crushproof case (akin to a pelican) like this one for $109.

As well as a silica reusable dehumidifier to put in the case as, such as this two pack for $20.

I keep one in my rifle case and one in my ammo crate as well. The dehumidifiers have a gauge on the bottom which tell you when they need to be reset by putting them in the oven. I had my case sealed for most of a year in a humid climate and there is no hint of rust or even a mildew-ey smell and have also not had to reset the silica gel packs yet either. Added perk, these cases are TSA compliant so you could fly with your guns or any other valuables in this case and they have locking latches as well. The locks would obviously not prevent somebody from running off with the case, but it would have some security benefit surely.
Also comes with pluck-apart foam to customize for your rifle which is a $50 option on a $250 pelican case so it's a good value.

This bad boy.

Nice! I just bought one because it looked good. For reference, the Plano knockoffs are very similar to the price.

I would make sure that your rifle can fit into the case prior to ordering it. I have both the 42" Plano case and the longer case with wheels (this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0029KDHQI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). My rifle (20" barrel) BARELY fits into the longer case. It's a great case overall though.

I think the case in the post is probably significantly more comparable to this Plano case, so price is pretty relevant.

This Plano case might work. The inside dimensions are listed as 51.5 inches, so it might just fit. I have the 42" version and I'm pleased with it.

I have one of these Plano cases if you're interested.

I have Plano double rifle case and it works great. I carry a g36c with 5 mags and mk14 ebr in it with 6 mags. I just traveled from Los Angeles to Texas with no problem with my airline or tsa except the $75 special baggage fee. Just a warning this case is massive we have to put a seat down in most coupes because it won't fit in the trunk.

The Plano Double Scoped Rifle Case as others have mentioned, would be a great choice. Slightly cheaper here.

Amazon link should be free shipping.

They are decent cases and not as ridged as a pelican but i paid like $50 for mine and wouldn't turn back. Granted it isn't thrown around all the time but it doesn see general abuse.

On amazon. It's pretty sweet. It has roller wheels, it locks shut and has an airtight seal.

Why go for the Pelican vs this Plano?

I think the next size up in the All Weather line is 52", I got mine for $99 on sale.
