The MTM Case-Gard RC51 delivers secure transport for full-size scoped rifles up to 51 inches in a lightweight, impact-resistant design. This single rifle case eliminates the bulk and weight of oversized multi-gun cases while providing the protection needed for valuable firearms during transport and storage.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic soft cases that offer minimal protection or heavy aluminum cases that add unnecessary weight, the RC51 uses high-impact polypropylene construction that withstands drops and impacts without the premium price of military-spec cases. The case accommodates rifles with scopes mounted, eliminating the need to remove optics for transport. Internal dimensions provide clearance for standard hunting rifles, AR-15 platforms, and bolt-action precision rifles with mounted scopes up to 50mm objective diameter.

Field testing shows the RC51 maintains structural integrity through temperature extremes from -20°F to 140°F, making it suitable for hunting trips in harsh climates.

Law enforcement agencies specify similar MTM cases for patrol rifle storage due to their balance of protection and accessibility.
