Pelican 1720 Protector Long Case
The Pelican 1720 Protector Long Case is a rugged hardshell gun case built for hunters, shooters, and professionals who need reliable protection for rifles, shotguns, and gear on the move. Whether you're traveling to a hunt, heading to the range, or storing valuable firearms at home, this long case combines impact-resistant construction with practical features that keep your gear safe and secure through rough handling, transport, and storage.
Built from high-impact polypropylene with a reinforced structure, the 1720 features an open-cell foam core that absorbs shock and vibration while the solid outer walls guard against dust, water, and chemical exposure. The interior is lined with high-density polyurethane foam that cradles your rifles or shotguns—the case accommodates long arms up to 42 inches—plus space for handguns, magazines, ammunition, and accessories. A tongue-and-groove lid with neoprene O-ring seal creates an airtight, waterproof closure, while an internal pressure-relief valve makes opening and closing effortless even after environmental pressure changes. The case meets military-spec standards (MIL-STD 4150J) and achieves IP-67 ingress protection, meaning it'll keep your firearms safe in serious conditions.
Transport is straightforward thanks to molded handles and polyurethane wheels with steel bearings—roll it across rough ground without worrying about tipping or frame stress. ABS latches lock down tight and accept padlocks for added security at camps, vehicles, or home storage. Stainless steel hinge pins resist corrosion and wear through years of field use. Cases are stackable for efficient storage, and because the 1720 floats, an accidental water crossing won't claim your investment.
