Pelican 1700 Protector Long Case 35.76" Rifle Storage Black Foam

The Pelican 1700 Protector Long Case delivers military-grade protection for rifles, shotguns, and long firearms in a 35.76-inch polypropylene shell. This hard case system protects valuable firearms during transport, storage, and deployment with crush-proof construction and weatherproof sealing.

What Makes This Different

Unlike soft cases or basic hard cases, the Pelican 1700 features a structural foam core that maintains shape under extreme pressure while providing superior impact absorption. The polypropylene construction resists chemicals, temperature extremes, and UV degradation that destroy lesser materials. Military and law enforcement agencies specify Pelican cases because they consistently protect equipment worth thousands of dollars in conditions that destroy standard cases.

Key Features

• 35.76-inch interior accommodates most rifles with scopes and accessories
• Polypropylene foam padding provides custom-moldable protection

• Double-throw latches with padlock loops secure contents during transport
• Pressure equalization valve prevents vacuum lock at altitude changes

Field testing demonstrates the 1700's ability to protect firearms through airline baggage handling, vehicle transport over rough terrain, and extended outdoor storage. The case meets TSA requirements for firearm transport while providing security features that deter theft. Competition shooters rely on this protection level for precision rifles, while hunters trust it to safeguard expensive optics during backcountry expeditions.
