Tuffpak owners - If you were buying a new one today would you get the standard model 1049 or the slightly larger model 1250? I think I would rather pay for an overweight bag and have more padding for the rifles and room for more gear than take a chance with less cushion. Your thoughts?

I would recommend the standard size. With 2 long guns, and the required padding you are crowding the 50lb limit.

Before the weight limits were reduced my TP had 70lbs in it.

Standard.

Standard size just pay for the extra weight...

I have the larger model since I sometimes carry a compound bow with me to Africa. The bow will not fit in the "standard" case. With the larger case I can fit two rifles, or one rifle and one bow, padded cases, boots, jacket, 1st aid kit and a few other things and still make the 50# weight limit. Works for me.

Mine is also the standard size, with NON-TSA locks of course!
