I have pelican and they are nice, but harbor freight does the same thing for less.

Sorry to necro, but HF sent out a nice coupon on the big rifle case. Great Christmas gift idea, just keep in mind these things are a bit long to fit in most car back seats or trunks.

I see I'm not the only one to reply to this thread a little late. I've got 2 of the HF Apache cases, one is I think the 3800 and the other is the rifle case using the coupon at Christmas so it was like $100. I got the pistol sized around October and it rolled around in the back of a pickup to and from the UP for about 5 days. Seems plenty durable. The rifle case I've modified for my FN FAL so I'm putting a lot of trust in it and I think it should be fine. For a $100-150 case, it seems like a pretty good purchase. I wish they had a mid-sized offering, I'd pick one up. Get one of HF's 20% coupons and use it on these!

I have the Apache 3800 setup as a range box, I can fit 3 pistols and 12+ mags in it. I also picked up the rifle case with the super coupon for $100, I haven't used it yet so I cannot attest to its strength or weaknesses.
For my day job I carry a pelican 1560 case full of tools. I'm not sure you can compare the two brands especially with the lifetime guarantee that Pelican provides but I do know that the Pelican warranty response time is what some might call lackadaisical.
My opinion is this, for every day use step up and get the Pelican. If its something you're using on occasion save the $$ and buy more ammo.
Here is a 25% coupon off Apache cases, good till 2/7/20
