Pelican 1700 Case With Foam (Desert Tan)
The Pelican 1700 case with foam is a rugged, travel-ready gun case built for hunters, sport shooters, and anyone who needs reliable firearm storage that actually survives rough handling. This mid-size hard case combines military-grade durability with practical features—watertight seals, crushproof construction, and a three-piece foam insert system that lets you customize protection for your specific gear. The desert tan finish blends into camp or vehicle storage without standing out, while the heavy-duty build keeps your firearms and optics safe whether you're flying to a hunt, storing at home, or moving between ranges.
Built to handle real-world abuse, the 1700 uses a solid-wall polyurethane core with an open-cell foam backing—tough enough to take hits without adding unnecessary weight. Stainless steel hardware and protective padlock shrouds resist corrosion even in wet climates or salty environments. The automatic pressure equalization valve is a smart touch: it balances air pressure inside the case during altitude changes and temperature swings, so your seals stay effective without the fight of a vacuum-locked lid. Double-throw latches lock down tight and won't rattle open during transport.
Getting in and out is straightforward. The easy-open latch design means you're not wrestling with the case in the field or at the truck bed, and the fold-down side handle makes it practical to carry solo or stash upright. Heavy-duty polyurethane wheels mounted on stainless steel bearings roll smoothly over pavement and uneven ground, so you can wheel it through an airport or across gravel without strain. The three-piece foam set ships in the case and is ready to customize for your rifle, shotgun, handguns, magazines, or accessories.
