Reviews & Ratings for Plano Special Edition Double Rifle/Shotgun Case — 9 reviews — Page 1

Good sturdy case, fits to average size hunting rifles with scopes

Totally satisfied my needs: to move guns to the range and back safely. Light, lockable, sturdy enough to sustain bumps. My 20 and 24 barrel scoped Savages fit fine with bolt removed (obviously one rifle per case). Again, for my purpose - excellent.

This was a gift. It is a cheap way to transport long guns. Not especially rigid but does allow the firearm to be locked up from prying little fingers. I needed to provide a way to secure firearms for someone without a safe and this did the job. It is not a case I would use for airline transportation. Good for a trip to the range, etc. I had hoped it would be a bit more "sturdy" but for the cost it was acceptable.

For the price, this rifle case is good for carrying your firearm(s) to the range or from place to place. It may not be the best for transporting through the mail or on a plane, but for the money, it serves it purpose.

Typical Optics Planet quality and service . . . . great . . . . highly recommended. These cases are a great buy. I have purchased a range of products from this site and have never been disappointed.

Wasn't sure how this case would work for me to transport 4 long guns.
Overall it did okay, but there were a few issues that prevented giving it a full 5 star review.

I had the following items to pack and transport:
1. a .22 rifle
2. a .223 folding stock rifle
3. 30/30 lever rifle
4. 12 gauge pump w/removable barrel

Note: it was a tight fit but everything fit inside and nothing fell out during the 2-segment flights.

Caveats:
1. I had to remove a small section of the .223 folding stock and pack it into my other checked bag.
2. the 12 gauge had to be disassembled and packed as 2 pieces, side-by-side: receiver piece and barrel piece.
3. Chokes for shotgun were packed in my other checked bag.

Pros:
1. it accommodated 4 long guns, w/o scopes.
2. It is priced decently for what you get
3. the case survived my recent 2 segment flights intact.

Cons:
1. the 3 lock hole sections of this case have TWO DIFFERENT LOCK SIZE requirements!
Be sure and review the 3 holes that accept padlocks BEFORE you go out and buy your TSA locks.
I didn't and I bought a 4-pack of small TSA approved locks. I had to go back to local Walmart stores to find a larger TSA lock for each END of the case's LOCK HOLE.

I had to buy TWO different sizes/types of TSA approved locks in order to completely lock this case.

a. The MIDDLE lock hole will accept a small to large TSA lock. Small works best.
b. The two ENDS of the case have lock holes that require a regular, full sized lock in order to secure...

This is a great case for the money and easily and stabily secures two full size rifle/shotguns plus additional goods. It can be locked with your own padlock in two different locations and the padding is sufficient to keep everything in place.
Pros: Great price
Cons: Plastic clasps are not the most secure

Case arrived on time and as expected. Have other cases that are more durable and stronger, but not at this price. Does exactly what I need it for and will order from Optics Planet again as I have done so in the past. Great prices and would also recommend the shotgun scabbard.
