The Plano Tactical 42" long gun case is built for hunters and shooters who need serious protection and transport flexibility for their rifles or shotguns. This hard case combines rugged construction with practical features designed to keep your firearms secure whether you're heading to the range, into the field, or traveling between hunting spots. The 42-inch interior accommodates up to two rifles or shotguns, while the compact profile keeps it manageable for vehicle storage and handling.
What sets this case apart is the working focus on real-world logistics. Internal lash-down mounts let you lock down your guns and gear so nothing shifts during transport, and the multiple external strapping points give you flexibility to cinch the case down however your vehicle setup demands. Whether you're loading a truck bed, packing an SUV, or securing it to a trailer, these attachment points make the job straightforward. The durable outer shell handles the bumps and scrapes that come with regular use.
The Tactical Series is sized right for serious shooters: the 42-inch interior length works for most modern rifles and shotguns, and at 17.88" wide and just 5.31" deep, it doesn't eat up excessive space. That compact depth is particularly useful if you're working with a full vehicle and need to stack or fit cases efficiently. This is a case designed around how you actually use it, not just a box with foam.
