Its watertight, crushproof, and dustproof shell protects contents against the elements and heavy impacts. For users transporting long-barrel rifles or multiple firearms, the case’s interior dimension of 42″L x 13-1/2″W x 5-5/16″D offers a secure fit while the outside measures 44-3/8″L x 16″W x 6-1/2″D.

Interior protection and pressure management

A 3-piece foam set lets you configure the interior to cradle firearms and accessories, while the automatic pressure equalization valve balances interior pressure and keeps water out — a vital safeguard when flying or moving between elevations.
