APACHE cases rock!
Pelican are the nicest and most durable, but also one of the most expensive..
HF did what they do best, and offer a 'clone version' of the Pelican for $50+ less.
[The Pelicans came down in price]
Both cases look and function the same, but, the Apache lacks a bit in build quality.
They're still amazing cases for the money.
I think I have four of them kicking around somewhere. [3800s or 4800s]
Anyways, the shells are excellent quality, impact resistant, etc.
Interiors are foam top w/ pluck-foam bottom..
The interior edge perimeter has a water tight seal.
Nice latches [the metal pins just aren't as tough as the Pelican versions]
The Apache [and Pelican] cases also have spin-dials on the fronts..
They're used to either 'open or close' the 'seal' on the cases..
Close to seal 100% from the elements.
Open to let the cases 'breath' - Ex: for changing elevations / temps
Sportsman's Guide: HQ-Issue cases
Those look nice too. I'm not familiar with them though.
PLANO makes the: "All Weather Tactical Gun Case"
That's another nice looking case..
Most big-box stores and places like Amazon sell em. They're around $130.
Personally, I've been really happy with the price/quality of the Apache cases.
If money was no issue, Pelican all the way, but IMO, Apache is the runner up.
And since I have to buy multiples of them [for high end camera equipment]
I opted to go the Apache route. I highly recommend them.
