SKB ATA Double Bow, Bow/Rifle Combination Case

Has survived 12,000 airline miles and counting
I was able to fit my Mathews bow, 12 guage shotgun (broken down), .280 ruger, some ammo and arrow quiver in this bad mamojama. Everything arrived safely and securely. There was no damage to the case whatsoever and continues to hold up exceptionally well.
A marginal bow/rifle combo case
My rating is based upon what I consider is a misadvertised rifle / bow combination case. Though it may serve well as a double bow case, it is ill designed to hold a rifle. First, a rifle with a 22 1/2 inch barrel (like my Tikka Lite) barely fits into the case on a diagonal (corner to corner) with the barrel tip and recoil pad touching the case's thin foam lining. This case wouldn't hold a longer barrel rifle. Second, the case's egg crate foam lining and divider is designed to hold two bows and provides virtually no support for a rifle. When I put a bow and rifle in the case and picked it up, the rifle shifted and moved--a disaster waiting to happen if you check as airline luggage. To fix the problem, I purchased a 2 inch thick piece of high density black foam the size of the case into which I cut an opening for my rifle to fit into so it was secure and wouldn't shift in transit. The high density foam and divider (with a bow in place above) kept the rifle secure. Again, the rifle...
SKB case hinge
This is a great case but the airlines damaged the same case this one is replacing. The hinge is a weak spot. A blow on the exterior hinge will spring the case and make it unable to close properly. At least the airline paid for my damaged case to let me buy another one.

Plano AW Scoped Rifle Case, Green

Great Case
I recently traveled to Alaska on a hunting trip. The Plano AW scoped rifle case was great for transporting my 300 weatherby and 45 cal. Taurus pistol with ammo. After watching the crews at the airports loading luggage I wondered what my things would look like when I reached my final destination. When I opened my case and inspected my guns all were fine. If they can make it through baggage handling they will make it through the wilderness hunts in this case just fine. The last hard case I used last year took a beating and my guns showed it.
Great case!
Excellent case for a great price. The Bone Collector stuff really holds up. The case has two locks, mostly a deterrent & can be locked with padlocks. Very satisfied.
Excellent!!!
This product is top of its line. I carry my weatherby .30-06 rifle with nikon monarch 6-24x50 scope, my remington 870 model shotgun. Plus My springfield 45 xdm, plus my sight scope, and still have a lot more room for a rangefinder that I will soon be purchasing. Love this case.

The con was that right at the middle it does not shut completely close.

Love the case I know you will too. The wheels help a lot when carry all your stuff around. I have had this case for about 4-6 months now, cannot complain I know I will be buying another case if anything happens to this one but I doubt it. Has two locks they work magnificant, plus a side screw for pressure inside the case, plus two places where you can place your own locks to double guarntee that nobody would breach into it.
