I want to buy the best hard case I can find for traveling anywhere with a 2-3 rifle battery. I very much like the Kalispel 2 or 3 gun Safari Rifle cases as they look to me to be tougher & more protective than either the Storm or Pelican cases. Do any of you guys have these Kalispel cases, or others, and why do you prefer them? What are their pros & cons for airline travel in particular? Thanks, Joe |

Hard to beat a Pelican for hardness / toughness. I just don't like the weight of Pelican cases. |

All I will use is Kalispel and have traveld with rifle to 4 continents to chase game. There may be some equals out there, but I know Kalispel works. I have a Kalispel that has literally flown more miles than most people I know. At one point I calculate how many miles a wood stocked rifle traveled without having to adjust the scope. One time my Kalispel got held up in the Helsinki airpot, along with a shotgun and custom rifle, and I had to get on a plane to go hunting again. So I bought another Kalispel just like the first one and got on a plane with 2 rifles in tow. I use the double rifle case, even when going with just one rifle. I pack all kinds of other stuff in there and run it up to the weight limit. I used to fly 125 legs a year and have seen about every airline mis-hap out there. There is no way in hell I would use a plastic case for airline travel. All I will use is 100% aluminum with thick foam inside. I often carry more dollars worth of stuff in the Kalispel case than amny people's cars are worth. That is how much I trust them |
