Things I liked:

I was attracted to the 'vertical installation', versus the normal flat cases I've seen. This design of suspension, seems to make more sense, as it totally removes pressure points on items while stored or transported cases. I have a Benjamin Marauder, Leapers 4-16x44 scope, plus 80mm SIDEWHEEL) Additionally, the rigidity and affordability. I bought 3 cases (one for my Marauder, one for my Gamo Whisper, and one for my son's powder-burner). My son was PLEASANTLY surprised when I gave it to him.

Things I would have changed:

Nothing I would specifically change, as I just made allowances for the differences. First, some people commented about the securing straps being a little short. Well..., maybe, but if you just give that a little attention..., during removal-installation of your weapon..., it just isn't that big of an issue. I was aware of it, and as far as evaluating the overall concept of the case..., it is a minimal issue.

What others should know:

YES, and I think some of the Marauder owners (using a scope), should know this. You'll have to shave down the FORWARD support pad. With my scope-sidewheel setup (through trial and error), I probably removed 3/4" from the bottom. This totally removes the little recess (allows for strap clearance), plus a little more past that, allowing the rifle to rest down lower, for extra scope clearance. To maintain a parallel and angled configuration..., I used my bandsaw, to keep things neat-tidy. Probably took me a total of 15-minutes. Otherwise, a sharp serrated bread knife will probably suffice. Not a big deal, really. Additionally, with the way I have my scope mounted, I had to move the REAR support pad, AND STOCK forward, maybe 7-8". The rear strap settles into the notch of tme Mrod stock. Otherwise, situating the weapon to the normal installation point, would cause the lid to hit the rear end of my scope. Now, with the shaved forepad modification, and moving everything forward, I can close the lid. IF YOU HAVE A 100mm side wheel installed, YOU MIGHT HAVE PROBLEMS! Even now, I probably have minimal clearance for my 80mm sidewheel, as it's at the same level as the elevation knob. Maybe conversing with P.A. before ordering may give you some insight. For myself, GREAT CHOICE. With the Gamo and same scope set-up? NO SWEAT! Assembled the case, put in the gun..., shut the lid..., and I'm done. With PA's return policy, you can't lose. They're GREAT!!

Things I liked:

An excellant product that cradles and secures your scoped rifle from moving in transit. Not many retailers are stocking it anymore, that's a shame.

    Protects your scope very nicely. Holds rifle secure.

    I'm very happy with my purchase.

    Things I liked:

    This is not a cheap case but it does an excellent job of protecting my rifle. I use it for my 6mm BR varmint rifle. I adjusted the foam pads to fit and, once strapped in, the rifle rides securely. In addition, the balance point is right which is important with a heavy rifle like mine. I am considering getting more of them for other rifles.

    Things I would have changed:

    I might consider adding a third foam pad for the barrel.

    What others should know:

    This case is airline appropriate, yet it is far lighter than my traditional travel case.

    Things I liked:

    Well made, strong and light weight

    Things I would have changed:

    It doesn't have enough height for some taller bull pups but works well for conventional long rifles

    What others should know:

    Check your rifle's scoped height before ordering. It fits all of my centerfire rifles but many airguns it doesn't.

    Things I liked:

    I really like this case much more handy than a flat case and will carry any rifle with a scope that I own. The Velcro straps keep the rifle in place and plenty of foam padding that even if turned over the rifle is not damaged, I bought two of these.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing

    What others should know:

    You will use this case much more than the flat cases just that much more handy and actually takes up less room

    Things I liked:

    I was looking for this case for a long time and you had it and for less. Great case was just what was needed to protect my rifle.

    Things I would have changed:

    Your ordering/billing process was ok. Only change would be to the case straps which could be longer.

    What others should know:

    Buy this case.

    Things I liked:

    Not as heavy duty as expected from a Plano product. But on the other hand, they are being phased out. Pyramyd Air was the least expensive I've found, and was delivered within a week. Would buy from Pyramyd Air again.

    Things I liked:

    This is in my opinion one of the best ways to protect a rifle or shotgun for transport. This case gives outstanding protection without excessive weight or bulk. I have purchased four of them so far. I may well purchase others later. Pyramyd Air offered the best price I could find including shipping. I don't think they will disappoint you with this case.

    Things I would have changed:

    Absolutely nothing.

    What others should know:

    Just have a great day.

    Things I liked:

    The down low. With a little adjusting it fit my Marauder great. Using the foam Pyramyd Air set the pellets in it now hold two cans. My UTG tact op bipod fits in funny of the muzzle. I used a piece of foam to hold two magazines under the air filler. I like this case a lot.

    Things I would have changed:

    Straps are a little short. But Heck the work.

    What others should know:

    With a little modifications it will hold everything you need for a day do shooting. Now if I can figure a way to fit my Nomad in there ill be set.

    Things I liked:

    +This is a pretty nice gun case. I have purchased a total of 3 . Two from a different vendor. The one from Pyramyd Air was packaged nicely with no damage. All my long guns fit very good, and are very secure with-in the case. I have three rifles, but if I but another one, I would buy another one of these cases from Pyramyd Air.

    Things I would have changed:

    These are a good made in the USA thick hard plastic case. The only aspect of this case I would change would be to enhance the metal plate where the external lock is places to a more secure design.

    Things I liked:

    The top-opening case is great. I bought it after seeing one at the range and liking the accessibility when the case is open.

    Things I would have changed:

    Unfortunately it doesn't work with my rifle (Daystate Air Wolf) and scope (Hawke 8-32x56 on medium Sportsmatch rings) even after removing the parallax ring. It would be great if the rifle and scope were short enough for the top to close.
