The Avian-X AVX Standard Floating Shotgun Case delivers waterproof protection for waterfowl hunters who demand reliable firearm storage in harsh wetland conditions. This bottom-loading design keeps shotguns secure and accessible during extended hunts in marshes, rivers, and coastal environments.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional hard cases that sink when dropped overboard, this floating case utilizes closed-cell foam construction that maintains buoyancy even when fully loaded with a shotgun and shells. The bottom-loading configuration allows quick access without removing the entire case from blind setups or boat storage compartments. Sealed gasket technology prevents water intrusion while maintaining easy operation with cold, wet hands.
Key Features
- Positive buoyancy design keeps case and contents afloat if dropped in water
- Bottom-loading access for quick retrieval without case removal
- Waterproof sealed construction with compression gasket system
- Accommodates shotguns up to 32-inch barrel length
- Impact-resistant polymer shell withstands drops and rough handling
- Textured grip surfaces for secure handling in wet conditions
- Integrated tie-down points for secure transport and storage
Field performance centers on reliability in extreme waterfowl hunting conditions where equipment failure means lost opportunities. The case maintains waterproof integrity in driving rain, spray, and temporary submersion. Hunters report consistent function after seasons of use in saltwater marshes where corrosion destroys lesser equipment. The floating capability provides peace of mind during boat-to-blind transfers and wading through deep water.
