The Plano 151101 Single Pillared Scoped Rifle Case delivers professional-grade protection for scoped rifles up to 52 inches in length. This hard-shell polymer case features dense foam padding and reinforced construction that shields firearms from impact damage during transport and storage.
What Makes This Different
Unlike soft cases that offer minimal protection, this rigid polymer shell withstands crushing forces and impact damage that could misalign optics or damage rifle components. The pillared foam interior creates custom-fit compartments that prevent movement during transport, while the weatherproof seal keeps moisture and debris away from firearms. Heavy-duty latches and reinforced hinges maintain secure closure under demanding conditions.
