The Pelican IM3100 Storm Long Case delivers military-grade protection for rifles, shotguns, and long tactical equipment in a 36.5-inch waterproof housing. This injection-molded case withstands extreme conditions while maintaining precise foam cushioning that prevents movement during transport.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard rifle cases that rely on basic foam padding, the IM3100 features HPX high-performance resin construction with IP67 waterproof rating. The case maintains watertight integrity to 3.3 feet for 30 minutes, exceeding typical gun case standards. Stainless steel hardware and reinforced corners provide impact resistance that soft cases and basic hard cases cannot match.
Key Features
- 36.5" internal length accommodates most rifles and tactical long guns
- HPX resin construction with lifetime guarantee against breaks
- IP67 waterproof rating with automatic pressure equalization valve
- Pick-n-pluck foam allows custom weapon fitting
- Stainless steel hardware resists corrosion in marine environments
- Double-throw latches with padlock holes for security

Field testing demonstrates consistent protection across temperature ranges from -40°F to 210°F. The case protects optics alignment during air travel, vehicle transport, and outdoor expeditions. Law enforcement agencies specify Storm cases for evidence transport, while competitive shooters rely on the consistent foam compression that maintains zero between matches.
