Pelican is a good case. I have a takedown shotgun case made by Beartrax.

I use this: http://www.outdoormarksman.com/product_info.php?cPath=5593_5748_6281&products_id=82697It is perfect for range trips and rides to camp. Fits a 'Tender and a few barrels, two XP's or Strikers, or a half-dozen revolvers. It's not built for air carry, but it will fit in the bottom of a duffle so it goes un-noticed.
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

s4s4u what are the dimensions of this case? Outside dimensions are 26"x14"x5-1/2" and you can fit two scoped Strikers and/or XP's in it, plus accessories.
Rod, too.

I use Bear Track cases. IMHO, they are excellent --- but pricey. As far as I know, the only current source in through Freedom Arms. I started using them years ago when they were available from the company that developed them. They are an investment and will outlast me. They will also protect your "shootin iron."
It's more important where you hit 'em, than what you hit 'em with.

I like the Pelican style cases. A few years ago one of the shops was throwing 3 of them away so I took them. All they needed was the foam and a good cleaning. I gave 2 of them to 2 buddies and kept one for myself. They work great and I've had 4 Contenders and a couple of extra barrels in mine.

Just for the fun of it, you should go to beartrackcases.com and watch the video. It is a hoot! The griz could not get into the case with an egg in it.

Since I travel a lot by air, I use a Storm briefcase with a custom-made interior: It works very well. Great quality.

I use a pelican for traveling. Gonna order a new one from Freedom Arms that will hold one 10" FA that will still fit in a suitcase for traveling incognito....You can custom fit these but I don't as I don't always have the same ones with me when I travel.
