great case

I have purchased two of these cases and both of my scoped rifles fit without a problem. No security straps were included with the second case but Ruth in customer service took care of that problem. Thank you Ruth. Very satisfied.

I wanted to buy a case that protected my scope. This one doesn't even touch it. also the velcro straps hold the rifle firmly in place.

Alternative strap rings.

The shape is so unique that you know what you've put in it with out opening it check.

Great case for my son's air rifle. Arrived on time and in great condition! Very pleased!!

Compact, small foot print, holds the rifle securely & the price is quite reasonable.

The Velcro securing straps need to be a bit longer.

This is a great case, unfortunately not all rifles will fit properly in the case. A Marauder with Leapers scope is a tad too tall to close the lid.

The straps, molding,and foam keep your rifle suspended safely inside this case for storaage and transport.

Nothing.

I purchased this rifle case specically for my Beeman hw97k and it does a great job. I wanted an extra level of prorection for this very nice rifle.

this case is perfect. it holds the gun well and provides enough room for storage of my pellets and cleaning suppllies

none

Good size for my scoped gamo 22 cal. varmint hp

Nothing

Nice case

Great protection. Sturdy construction. The foam blocks included are easy to modify. Great balance when you carry.

Nothing.

I have both the Benji NP Trail All-weather & Trail XL1100. The XL1100 dropped in with 1" clearance at barrel end, several inches of scope clearance & looks like thew case was made for rifle. The all-weather needed some foam added.

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.

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.

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!!

The case holds your guns secure while allowing most guns with scopes to fit, even with high profile rings. Sits secure and is airline approved.

Include a velcro pouch enclosure for adding the silver dehumidification cannisters inside to reduce moisture in the case when stored for a long time.

Great case. This is my 4th and love it!

I like the case because it protect my new nitro rifle. it is very good quality.

The velcro strapes are to short make them longer

Good product I would buy it again maybe i will.

Your gun does not lay on it's side and risk scope misalignment. Easily carried. Keeps a majority of the foam off your gun and the box allows you to put a dessicant pack inside to draw moisture away if you choose. But I have found it is not necessary. I have them for all my rifles.

Maybe make the height interior about 2" more to acommodate higher scope profiles.

These are great cases and well priced. I bought mine local for cheaper but if you buy enough here with free shipping I would get one from PA.

well made, good latches, handle and hinges. seems very solid and easy to carry. Lots of extra room for your stuff.

design tie downs so they can't pull through and need to be re threaded.

Rugged, practical,and effective in protecting your fire arms and scopes from dings and dammage while transporting your weapons. I bought four of them!

It is an excellent product and requires no modification or improvement.

Save the appearance and functionality of your equipment by transporting in the Plano Vertical Rifle Case.

Excellent sturdy construction except for the straps.

My Sumatra 2500 500CC and Leapers 6-24X scope would not fit. Handle area gets in the way. The velcro fastening straps don't allow yo to adequately tighten the rifle in place. The type of straps that are used to fasten sleeping bags to a backpack are far better which I replaced the velcro straps with. Just make sure you make the straps long enough so you can just loosen them each time you want to remove your rifle without having to undo the strap from the tightening buckle - works excellently!!!

The packaging that air rifles are packaged in by the manufacturer were specifically designed for the gun inside it and are the best choice for shipping to you.

Fits my scoped RWS 48 like a glove! Very secure, easy on your zeroed scope unlike the flat foam filled cases that put pressure on your scope and mounts. Has extra space inside for pellet tins and such.

Nothing I can think of.

I don't like bumping and beating my scoped rifles around so I bought this case for that purpose. This case works great! Only regret, I wished I bought two!

I like the way the scoped rifles sit in this case upright as scoped rifles should be stored or carried; not laying down where there is pressure against both the scope and rifle all the while they are carried or stored. No foam is actually touching the metal in this case, so there is less likelyhood for a stored rifle to rust! I liked these cases so much that I have purchased 4 of them. I bought 3 at one time and took advantage of Pyramyd Air's free shipment for orders over $100 plus the fact that these cases were on sale!

For the price, I doubt I could change anything, fine the way they are.

Buy one for the rifles that are special to you.

I like the way it holds scoped rifles in the vertical position, the way they should be carried in a clamped position. Also you can leave them in this case and not be concerned they will rust as with the egg shelled type of foam.

Put some small compartments for cleaning supplies or storage.

These are a great buy for the money!

Easy access to put in or take out the scoped rifle. Room enough to store some extra ammo or tools. Really holds the rifle in place.

Nothing.

gun fits nicely with scope. also plenty of extra room for whatever.

wished it came with storage compartment inside.

works great with the gamo whisper and scope.
