I added the vid and pics so you could actually see it with rifles actually in it. Hope this is somewhat informative for someone.

I've only been shooting airguns for about 1-1/2 years now and first thing that irritated me almost immediately was the case that came with the rifle I bought wouldn't fit the rifle if I added a scope. I thought for $1500 (what I thought was a lot for a pellet gun at the time) the damn case it came with should fit the damn rifle with a scope.

Then I bought (used) a Daystate Pulsar which originally, I believe, was close to 2k and yet it doesn't fit with a scope, at least not the one I have with medium height rings...freaking irritating. So I did buy a hard case which is a great pain in the keister to get around with on the UTV, hell even loading up the Jeep with 2 hardcases for the bows and 2 hardcases for the guns it doesn't all fit in the back seat. Anyway, found a nice bag 43"length x 14"height x 4"deep. Fit's the Vulcan and Pulsar fine.

If I'm heading out on some ridiculously rough back country I'll use the hardcase but for most of my travels either to the range or my hunting spot, soft case it is.

I've got a few of the soft backpack rifle cases off Amazon and love them. Even with fx guns I don't suffer poi shift in those and I bring one of them to work daily. I'm not big on removing optics or moderators to fit a case.

This one was is killer for my bullpups.
Still use for my impact. Hauling a giant pelican everywhere is no fun.
Thick padding. Double rifle.compartment. not floppy or flimsy, backpack, briefcase сarry or slung. Never had issues. Pockets sre strong secure and padded as well

I've got 2 dulces and a savior. The pockets on both are awesome. I keep everything for a range day and data collection in each bag for the fx guns with too much ammo, and 2 discos with a range finder, ammo, and buddy bottle in the other.

Basically grab and go range day bags dedicated to each gun style. The backpack straps make moving these fully loaded bags a heck or a lot easier, especially the 48 inch cases.

Let’s see. An expensive gun that comes with a hard case, and when scoped it won’t fit in the case.

Hmmmm, as a former marketing guy, it’s the marketing person who put the kit together. The person doesn’t actually shoot, so they choose the less expensive case having no clue why it costs less other than size.
The sad part is no one in the organization recognizes the problem in time and they buy 50,000 cases…you can’t go back.

in the pictures it looks thin walled , a bit soft , the scope looks to be pushing the wall out to fit . I stress the use of the word "looks " Probably i would buy if i handled it in person .

EDit , i should have just kept my mouth shut , Apologizes, too much coffee today .

Cases that come with guns have always been a joke in my experiences. From benelli to fx. They're kind of useless and generally more for shipping I think.

The divider wall between the two guns is a bit thin, quarter inch, but the rest is good it's sturdy, and for simple transport more than enough, unless you're just throwing the gun around and then get a hard case.

And I got skunked again, no coyotes. I parked the UTV walked about a hundred yards away and set up and nothing all night time to head home

No worries and I'm sure there's cases like it with even more padding and if you see one let me know. It's's hard to tell dimensions even from pictures because of different angles. I was hesitant even ordering it without seeing it first
