With so many choices of rifle cases, choosing between a hard case and soft case is the intial step on your journey to safe and easy gun transportation. A soft case is more geared to ease of carry, made with a lighter weight material and a more flexible tote, it also allows for easy storage with the abilty to fit it into more contoured places when the gun has been removed. A lot of shooters will roll it up for a quick and easy storage at a gun range. The hard case on the other hand gives supreme protection to your rifle but is completely rigid and a little heavier. During bumpy car rides where the rifle case is unsecured or if you have a very expensive scope attached to a rifle you can't bear to see any type of scratch, then a hard rifle case might be best suited for your needs.
For those buying a hardcase you might want to take a look at our great tutorial on How to Prepare a Gun Case, made specifically for the Pelican brand rifle cases. We also have a large staff of experts that are available via phone, email, or our website to answer any of your questions, including those regarding rifle case selection.
