Alternative to long gun Pelican case?

Is this for an 870 Express? You brought it up in your post, it's going to be hard to find anything that is nice and a good value that won't be near half of what you may have paid for the gun. Unless you are taking the gun on an airplane, why don't you just get a soft case and keep it in that?

Kalispel cases are nice. I have the Cabela's bulletproof version for my Winchester model 70. Pretty nice and heavy duty. There are some other options, but like I said, the price may be prohibitive.

"...in need of a hard case for my 870 shotgun..." For air travel or just because you want one? 'I want' is reason enough, but if you're flying don't scrimp on the case. Baggage monkies think 'Fragile' is latin for 'Throw this.'
Have a look at this one. http://www.exploreproducts.com/guardforce-ranger-62w-single-rifle-gun-case.htm

What about the Plano cases? I see them everywhere for cheap.

I just Googled Doskocil cases because I've been using them for years and so did my father and uncle. Not bad cases for plastic and foam.

So google sends me to Plano cases and the blurbs say "FORMERLY KNOWN AS DOSKOCIL GUN GUARD."

For $50 to $80 they'll last a long time behind a truck seat.

But Cabela's still has Doskocil cases, so I don't know what's up. Here's an $85 shotgun case.

Just picked up a Plano double case at Walmart for $20.

I think I have that same case. It's a POS. Latches fall off all the time.
