These cabinets keep guns locked up and tucked away, but they won't protect your firearms from fire. Key-locked storage cabinets made of thin metal are inexpensive and light enough for one person to install, and they can be bolted to the floor and wall. Storing a gun at home in a hard or soft case risks rust and theft. Some cases advertised for shotguns or scoped rifles may be a tight fit for a pump or semiauto with a 28-inch barrel. Be sure your gun fits inside with a little room to spare. Some feature pre-scored, removable foam squares in the interior that help you customize an exact fit for your gun. And many have wheels, which is especially convenient on two-gun models. Solid cases that are airtight and watertight, like those made by Pelican, are great choices. You don't want to arrive at your destination with a broken case and have to scramble to find another one for the trip home. It's worth spending money on a hard case designed for air travel because it has to protect the gun and survive the trip. Some of the hard cases that come included with many guns qualify as "airline approved," but that doesn't mean you should fly with one. Airlines require hard-sided, locking cases. Hard CasesĪ hard case provides better protection than a sleeve or floating case. If the inside of a floating case gets wet, stick it on a boot dryer after the hunt. Wipe your gun down before you put it in the case and get it out as soon as you get home. Closed up in a watertight case, a wet gun can turn rusty in just a few hours. The drawback to floating cases is simple-anything that keeps water out also keeps moisture in. They give you peace of mind on boat rides, and their flotation material provides excellent padding. A simple unlined sleeve is compact, protects from minor dings, and will keep the mud off your gun during an ATV ride, but it doesn't offer a level of protection that you might want for that walnut and blued-steel heirloom.įloating gun cases have become nearly universal among duck hunters for good reason. Soft CasesĪlthough modern waterfowl guns are tough, it's still a good idea to put one in a soft case for transport to the field, and some state laws require it. Soft cases, hard cases, and safes will help keep your gun secure and undamaged so you can rely on it in the blind and, in some cases, stay on the right side of the law. *Some items pictured may not be exact items offered.Waterfowl guns need protection from bumps and bangs from mud, ice, snow, and water from baggage handlers and from thieves.
