ProsNCons's Review of SKB Cases 5014-6 3-Gun Competition Case
I love this case because of 1.) the cool factor, you friends will be impressed with your John Wick esque case (if they aren't 3 gunners), it looks unassuming on the outside but when opened its impressive. 2.) Design, I love that its understated and not shaped in any way that would give hints as to whats inside, the two tier foam works great and if you have anything that is slightly larger than the selected cutout the foam gives and eventually becomes imprinted for that item, the first foam tray for the handgun and rifle has a rigid bottom so it can be lifted out with no problem 3.) It fits all of my gear, I have a G34 which fits of course, a custom AR with a 18" barrel and Lancer fixed A2 style stock, 24" Benelli M2 with a Nordic +7 tube and extended recoil pad, the tube fits but barely, over time the tube made an imprint and now fits like a glove without me having to cut a hole for it. 4.) The precut foam is sufficient, you still get a custom look but unfortunately not as perfect as custom cut foam. You may be able to order uncut foam from SKB. 5.) Great if you have a few guns but don't need a safe, especially if you're sticking with the holy trinity (handgun, rifle, Shotgun)
The biggest Con is that when loaded it is heavy... thats why it has wheels and multiple handles.
Also after lugging this thing around my pressure release valve snagged on something and broke off. To say its pricey, sturdy and military grade the valve seems to be a very weak as there was minimal force applied to it. I did contact SKB to see if they will replace it, an answer is pending....
