If someone is expecting a Pelican or an Apache, this simply isn't it.
If someone is looking for a bare-minimum but viable solution for "secure" (A) storage and (B) transport, these fit the bill and are a steal at this price.
It's better than a whiplock, and it somehow threads the needle of being less bulky than a truly secure case/safe while adding marginally theft-deterring bulk over a bare firearm. Lock the case to secure point and it's going to be a pain to take without prepared tools.
They're most definitely filmsy and it wouldn't take heavy tools to pry one open. I probably wouldn't check these into an airline but YMMV.
That being said, I just purchased 5 after already purchasing 2. I like having different setups staged and setups compartmentalized rather than just a big gangbang of a range bag. Each case gets staged, stocked, and locked so I can keep stuff out instead of having to hidey hole everything each time I leave the house.
PS - I do not work for Walmart or Plano.

Last time I got a great deal at Walmart (that 3-9×40 scope posted a couple weeks ago) they canceled my order. Wouldn't be surprised if they did that here too
Electrical-Switch369@reddit (OP)
Heyo, they canceled my order for that too. I actually chatted in and they said they would honor it since it's back in stock. Had to order it then they would refund the difference, we'll see if they actually refund it
Nearby-Smoke-4883@reddit
Yeah I didn't want the scope badly enough to try anything after the cancelation. Thanks for that though, I may hit them up. Something about Walmart doesn't inspire confidence they'd actually refund it in a timely manner
Electrical-Switch369@reddit (OP)
Yeah, I'm not mounting the scope on anything just in case I need to return it lol.
The neat part is that they also offered a $10 off coupon for orders $15 or more, which is how I found this deal, so that was cool
Nearby-Smoke-4883@reddit
Nice!
JazzlikePerformer846@reddit
This is trash. I have one. Super flimsy.
It's a maybe at $10
***NOTE the 2 images with the yellow accents on the cases are NOT THIS ONE. That's their better line that I have as well and is much sturdier***
Electrical-Switch369@reddit (OP)
Good to know! Would you say this is good enough to just hold a shotgun or rifle in a car when going to the range? Been looking for rifle bags and they usually start at $15ish, a hard case at $10 seemed like a good deal
lennyxiii@reddit
I would recommend going with a soft case even if it’s $5 more. Eventually when you are transporting a bunch of rifles it’s much easier to move a bunch of soft cases.
DonArgueWithMe@reddit
This is entirely (and exclusively) suitable for transporting to and from the range.
Do you want to store your priceless heirloom in it? Absolutely not.
Will it be fine for moving a 10/22 or shotgun to and from the range? Absolutely.
BallsOutKrunked@reddit
one thing I like about smaller bags / soft cases is that you can fold them and regardless they're smaller. the hard cases are great but pretty big when you're not using them.
horses for courses, but just something to consider. if I go hunting I put my rifle in my truck back seats because I don't want it in the pickup bed anyway.
JazzlikePerformer846@reddit
It would be fine for that. But you will need to spend a few extra seconds getting the two clamshells to line up to latch. It's that flimsy. Now if you pack it up to where it is hard to close, then yeah its a bigger PIA.
I don't use mine anymore because of this, and fear that the hinge won't last.
benihana@reddit
i have one as well. it's not trash. it's more than enough for transporting a rifle and loaded mags or a shotgun to the range. i wouldn't use this for transport where you don't personally handle the case though (like air travel).
justhereforthegafs@reddit
My dudes these are garbage. I have one of these but a double because i needed a cheap case. But even with a beach towel behind the foam for extra pressure it wont hold a single gun still without them crashing into each other. You cant even gently pick it up by the handle without them shifting.
Super thin plastic, not enough foam. Hard pass dogs, your better off chucking your rifle in your truck bed, all those pbr cans act as a better cushion anyways.
duke_flewk@reddit
Wrap the shotties in the towels before you put them in the case. I wouldn’t trust any double case that doesn’t have the “pick apart foam” or other solid divider. I had a “tsa approved” case many years ago that worked but I believe it had “stiffener” legs in the middle that kept the shot guns separate and made it more crush resistant.
justhereforthegafs@reddit
No, this one is just that bad. Its $10 for a reason
duke_flewk@reddit
I wasn’t defending it, just trying to help you protect your toys in transport
BlackTrigger77@reddit
this got a laugh out of me
Old_MI_Runner@reddit
I have one of these cases that I haven't used in probably over a year. It is okay for going to the range with a smaller rifle and with open sights or smaller scope but I prefer the Savior rifle soft cases available at Costco online and now in some select stores. Optics Planet and sometimes DVOR, their sister's website, has them on sale too at competitive prices and also offers more colors and bag lengths. At my local gun club I see most people using soft bags rather than one of these hard cases.
GuyButtersnapsJr@reddit
I read a few reviews on Amazon, and several complained that the plastic is very thin. I'm also not a fan of egg crate foam.
That said, the price is nice for gentle transport, like short drives to the range.
Electrical-Switch369@reddit (OP)
Exactly my use case! I needed to stop using my duffel bag to transport my Mav88 to the gun range, haha. Walking in with a stock sticking out of a bag always made me nervous, even though I called ahead and they said it would be fine
Old_MI_Runner@reddit
I might have just added a long athletic sock close to the color of the duffel bag over the end of the muzzle in your case. You could also buy one of the full length gun socks that cost around $8 or so from Lambo's Armory or at higher prices at Amazon
Nice_Category@reddit
I actually have one of these already and I'm in for 2 more. They are not great quality, but perfectly fine for throwing in the back seat while going camping or to the range.
Probably can't fly with these, but I don't think that matters to most people.
xKHAZx@reddit
While people are saying this is a flimsy case, and I don't necessarily disagree, I shipped my ZPAP M70 in one of these and had it shipped back the same way and it held up just fine. It doesn't need to be indestructible to hold like 10lbs.
OddPatient4260@reddit
Perhaps if the case was packed inside another cardboard box for shipping. True it doesn't need to be indestructible, but by itself the plastic is too thin and flexible to withstand being tossed into the back of a delivery truck and crushed. The plastic is just that weak and the latches are simply thin tabs that will pop apart with very little force. The included foam is also thin and provides very little cushioning. While I'd have few concerns taking a 22 rifle or occasionally the cheap 12ga pump to the range in this, I wouldn't risk using it to even ship curtain rods across town with most common carriers and expect it to arrive fully intact.
xKHAZx@reddit
I just put packing tape around the hinges and latches for shipping and it was fine.
I do agree anything a lot more flimsy such as the curtain rods you mentioned would probably not do well, but a rifle isn't gonna warp in one of these.
I've stopped caring so much about scratches nowadays and I just use a duffel with some towels between guns for the range instead of hard cases so I can carry everything as one package instead of several.
FranklinNitty@reddit
These things suck. You don't need a hard case for the range and I wouldn't trust this thing through an airport. Complete waste of money in my opinion.
Hammy4738@reddit
Looks like a good deal for light use. To me, the only use for a rifle hard case is airline travel and reviews say this is not suitable for that. Soft cases are way easier to get in and out of a vehicle, and they provide ample protection for something that wasn't built to be fragile in the first place.
BerniceFighter@reddit
These had free shipping (even without walmart+) a few days ago, looks like wallyworld realized the mistake.
hafleycasey@reddit
In for two, That I don’t need.
Electrical-Switch369@reddit (OP)
Probably not flying quality, but I needed a range case/bag for a CZ 457 that I'm gunna buy soon. Other sites had this listed around $25ish. You can also get free shipping if you sign up for the Walmart+ free trial then just cancel it after
