It would be awesome on a mountain hunt. You could keep your hands free for navigating and bino use. The Pelican is for leaving in the truck or on the 4 Wheeler. That�s the end of its game.

Great case for the money. Note the length. Not long enough for bolt guns, but an easy fit for ARs if you break down the lower and upper. Marc C.

Pelican Case Thanks for the heads up! I just bought one of the 1750s for my long range rig and one of the plano all weather for my SBR/thermal pig hunting rig. Academy price matched cabelas and took an additional 5% off.

Definitely not in the class of Pelican or American cases but great bang for the buck and gets the job done. . I never use them unless flying and prefer soft side cases for vehicle travel. This Cabelas is my current fave soft side for longer rifles...will handle 24 inch barrel with Suppressors and bipod attached although I keep my bipod in the side pocket. Also has waterproof pocket for dope or stamp copies. https://www.cabelas.com/product/Cabelas-Xtreme-Long-Range-Rifle-Case/2338749.uts?slotId=1 This is the case I have been looking at getting.
