What are the opinions on the Kalispel cases? They seem to be built solidly and certainly would hold the interior contents securely. I have used both a Tuff Pak and SKB case in the past with no issues, but am looking for the option that comes the closest to fool proof. Mike | ||

All of the London gunmakers, Purdey, Holland & Holland, Boss, AA Brown & Sons, Charles Boswell, DMB and most of the high-end Italian makers including FAMARS use full-sized TuffPak cases with their long guns packed inside individual padded soft cases like Boyt's to ship their guns via the airlines to the major shows. I have seen six inside to a case. Expect 500grains to come along and say he has witnessed one TuffPak case failure. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ | |||

Rusty, Unfortunately the TSA would view that practice negatively, otherwise, I would be inclined to give it a try. Mike Mike | |||

Mike I do not own a Kalispel case, but I have seen some of them. They are a very well made aluminium case. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

I've compared them side by side and believe the Cabelas Hevi-Duty to be the equal in all respects. Made of heavy aluminum and with good welds and hardware I have had no trouble with mine. Cabelas price is slightly better, but I don't fault the Kalispel case in any respect. I just bought on features and price. I prefer the beveled corners on the Cabelas case. Don't remember who makes their case but mine came with a deal to send to Manufacturer for an engraved name tag which I had made and placed on the case. Nice touch.

I have a Kalispell case that has made two trips to Zimbabwe and several US trips. I have never had a problem even with scope shifting. I have never had to adjust a scope after travel in mine. Tough cases. Thick aluminum. | |||

Cabelas cases are made by Impact case company and you can buy directly from them, but you'll pay about $60 dollars extra. | |||

Great cases. I have used mine for a trip to RSA and numerous US trips with no problems. You can also get a zippered case that goes over it so it doesn't look so much like a gun case when traveling. Got mine from a company named "case place" for a discount. | |||

Mine been to Africa 12 times in various places, Canada and Alaska several times, as well as some U. S. flights. It's well scarred and I replaced the latches once, but never a hint of damage or scope problems. Also have one for takedowns with a little less use. Great case. | |||

I usually take a Pelican case but on one trip I took my sons' rifles in a Kalispel case. I don't know what some idiot hit the case with, but it was badly dented and the lock hasp was also bent. The guns were fine but I had to bend the case back in shape to use it on the way back home. I think they are good products but an aluminum case seems less flexible and dents easily. | |||
