The Pelican 1770 Protector Long Case delivers professional-grade protection for long guns and tactical equipment with its crush-proof polypropylene construction and precision-cut foam interior. This water-resistant case handles the transport and storage demands that standard soft cases simply cannot match.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic rifle cases, the Pelican 1770 features a rigid polypropylene shell that maintains structural integrity under extreme pressure and impact. The custom foam padding system creates a secure cradle that prevents movement during transport, while the water-resistant sealing protects contents from moisture intrusion. Standard soft cases offer minimal protection against drops or crushing forces that this hard case easily withstands.
Key Features
- Crush-proof polypropylene construction withstands heavy impacts and stacking weight
- Precision-cut foam padding prevents firearm movement and scratching during transport
- Water-resistant seal protects contents from moisture and environmental contamination
- Accommodates rifles up to 50 inches in length with scoped configurations
- Reinforced latching system provides secure closure under field conditions
- Stackable design maximizes storage efficiency in vehicles and safes
- Lightweight construction reduces transport burden compared to metal alternatives
Field testing demonstrates reliable performance across temperature extremes from -40°F to 210°F without material degradation. The case maintains seal integrity during rain exposure and prevents dust infiltration in arid environments. Competition shooters rely on this protection level for valuable precision rifles, while law enforcement agencies specify similar cases for duty weapon transport.
