Not sure as to how long or tall your maverick is but for a KraitX, I went with a Pelican V700....

I like the Flambeau brand of hard cases best and one is now housing my new Wildcat. Amazon seems to have a good selection but you will need to measure carefully for a good fit: rifle, scope and bipod plus all the extra goodies we normally want carried along.

I picked up a Pelican Vault for a great price somewhere, well over a year ago. Decided to see if my Mav Sniper would fit. The case is plenty long but depending on your scope setup, the case is just barely wide enough as you can see in the pics. There just happens to be a cutout, in the case, exactly where the elevation turret sits. Works for me. It's a storage case more than a travel case so it doesn't get banged around or anything.

Plano has a case for @ $125 which fits the maverick fine. I chose to go with the pelican v730 for extra room for second barrel. It would have fit in the plano too, but tighter than I liked.

It's not as spacious as the V730, but it's definitely priced right: https://www.adorama.com/us1615161.html

I could recommend the rifle case from Harbor Freight. It’s huge and just a bit bigger inside dimension than the Pelican Vault V800. Lots of room for a long gun and all of the accessories too! Ball beating wheels and a handle on the opposite end makes it easy to tow. 169.99

Pelican sells (factory direct) new foam insert kits that are fairly inexpensive. With the whole case kit, you can make two different center/gun foam templets because there is two thick foam pieces.

I removed the original foam, can collect moisture. What I have is a 5'x8' sheet 2" thick, and costed me about $60 with pickup from a foam factory. Bought it years ago still have about a half a sheet, can't remember the name what this called.

Thanks for the info on the foam collecting moisture. That is interesting that certain foams used in gun cases can collect and retain moisture, yet the case manufacturers still use that type of foam. Here's an article explaining the differences in case foams...

I picked up my first Nuprol from Pyramyd last week and so far I’m pleased. It has SKB / Pelican style construction but less costly and lighter to carry. However it’s more rigid and tough than your typical Flambeau or Plano. It was the middle ground I was looking for.
