Hard case for RAW HM1000x ?

[30cal]

Going to order a hard case for my new RAWI. Have my mind set on the Plano 108192 Just want to make sure it will fit the RAW with a large target scope. I will not be using it to fly just a good storage case. Seems like a good value. Anyone using this case? ;http://www.midwayusa.com/product/699219/plano-gun-guard-aw-series-double-scoped-rifle-case-with-wheels-52-polymer-black

Looking at case and rifle dimensions it will fit, with a few inches to spare at the ends.

Though Midway is showing it as discontinued.

Ya I checked the dimensions but was just wanting some feed back from someone that has one to see if they like it. Plano still shows it on their site and lots of other places carry it as well.

I've got the 108421, and some of the Pelicans, The differences are the hinge system, the Plano has a lock up crunch when you open it. the foam in the Plano is segmented in ready cut squares that are about 3/4" each. It has 5 latches, and 2 locks. The case flexes and it takes some maneuvering to line up the 5 latches. I did not try the locks. You can easily depress the case with minimal hand force. The Pelican 1700 model has 4 latches and 4 lock places. 2 are reinforced, and 2 are thicker that the case itself. I'm pretty sure I would not damage a scope if I put my full 230 lb self on top of it. The foam has to be cut in the Pelican, there are wheels on the Pelican, and a rigid horizontal handle with a folding handle for the rolling aspect. The Plano handle folds The 1750 pelican has the same type locking system, The handle folds, hinges are a little heavier and it has wheels. 1.75" foam in the 1700, and the 1750. 2.00 in the Plano

Thanks for the info! I just received the plano and it looks like it will serve my needs well. Now just need the gun to arrive. I found a company that will custom cut the foam to fit. May do that eventually after I get the gun setup the way I like it. They say its for two guns but not two full sized rifles with large scopes. Would fit guns with iron sights.
There is plenty of room for the RAW hm 1000x and accessories. Bipod mags pellets whatever else. I like it so far.

30cal your gun should be done in a week or two right? I look forward to some pictures and a report as I impatiently wait for mine.

Should you have one of those old electric carving knives (maybe goodwill or such for $5.00?) Just draw the out line and cut away, works a treat indead.

Gundog I think I am down to maybe two to three weeks. Yes I will be posting photos and my thoughts. Its hard waiting huh?

Thanks for the tip spysir! Do you mean wood carving knives or the meat cutting type from the kitchen? The case I got has the pluck out foam so that will be fine I'm sure. At least for now.
