The Plano Pro-Max Single Scope Rifle Case 153101 delivers professional-grade protection for scoped rifles with its exclusive PillarLock system that prevents scope damage during transport. This hard case accommodates rifles up to 52 inches with mounted optics, making it essential for hunters and competitive shooters who demand reliable gear protection.
What Makes This Different
The PillarLock system sets this case apart from standard rifle cases by creating a protective barrier around mounted scopes during transport. Four reinforced pillars support the rifle at key stress points, eliminating pressure on delicate optics that can cause zero shift. The case features a crush-resistant exterior rated for 500 pounds of stacking weight, significantly exceeding airline baggage handling standards.
Key Features
- PillarLock system protects mounted scopes from impact and pressure damage
- Accommodates rifles up to 52 inches in length with scopes attached
- Heavy-duty latches with padlock tabs for secure closure and theft deterrence
- Dense foam interior with convoluted lid design absorbs shock and vibration
- Reinforced corners and edges withstand drops up to 3 feet on concrete
- Stackable design with interlocking ridges for organized storage
- Comfortable molded handle reduces hand fatigue during extended carry
Field testing demonstrates the case maintains rifle zero even after repeated airline flights and vehicle transport over rough terrain. The foam interior compresses around rifle contours to eliminate movement while the PillarLock pillars bear structural loads away from sensitive scope components. Hunters report maintaining sub-MOA accuracy after transcontinental flights, while competitive shooters rely on the case for match-to-match consistency.
