Plano 52” vs 42” hard case!!!

[.177Guy]

Just sharing if anyone Wants to see how both of these cases look side by side comparison ,
I personally like the 42”
the structure is beefy @ 9.5lbs
and provided option to use straps and tie down anchors is very cool!!!
enjoy.

I have all of my PCP's in Plano All Weather cases, great cases! I also ordered extra pick and pluck foam from them, great customer service!

I’ve got a Plano myself and it’s a great case. It’s really big and heavy though. I’d say they’re worth it for your high end guns that you definitely don’t want to get wet or damaged. They’re just too much for most of my guns though.

I got the 52 all weather. Great case for the money.

I bought a Flambeau recently. I read the manual and it says the foam is treated with something and it can stain blueing.
Guns need to be put in a dry cleaner bag or something that won’t let there stupid chemical damage gun. I layed an old .22LR barrel on foam and sure enough it does. Junk. Threw away the foam.

Gosh . . . I've had my various rifles resting in Plano cases with foam liners for 4 years now without any sign of damage. Believe me, I wouldn't trust such guns as my TX200 to anything else. I do add a couple of desiccant bags to each case to keep out any moisture. I lug these cases to the range regularly, and at age 76, they present no problem. Orv.

the truth be told Doskocil, Gun Guard and now Plano cases are not even close to be what they used to be
they stopped making the DXL cases, they stopped making their great soft cases
and what they have to offer now i am not impressed but no one make a great hard case that is priced well
i have DXL cases from the late 70's and over 30 in different sizes and in all the time of storage in those case i have had no rust

Ok guys as promised,
sharing with u guys,
my both pcp fit snug in this 42” Plano,
with potato’s on the front of course,
and the whole case weigh is also doable…

I drill appropriate holes through the cases and Zip Tie the guns in place ,If i feel it would be necessary , as in checked baggage .

I wouldn’t feel comfortable with my guns being that close together. It seems to me that the main point of a large, expensive gun case like a Plano is to keep the guns protected even if the case gets banged around, but I’d feel like my guns would be more likely to be damaged packed in close like that than they would be in an inexpensive Flambeau case.

duly noted sir,
I will keep an eye out if these kits try anything stupid while in Such close proximity to each other!!!!

Offspring would be nice I suppose.
