Pelican Weapons cases
Who knows the best internet retailer for Pelican cases?
(I'm tired of the internet scam artists that advertise their prices and not until you actually go to purchase the case do you find out it does not come with foam... )
Thanks,
Team Sergeant

Any stocking internet dealer should be able to hook you up. I haven't bought Pelican from them, but Brownell's, Natchez Shooter's Supply, Midway USA, CDNN Sports, etc. have proven to be good people to deal with in the past.
I have changed over to Starlight cases, they are lighter, better made, and easier to deal with.
http://www.starlightcases.com/
They regularly run sales and advertise on the shooting related boards like http://www.snipercountry.com/forsale...ay_reverse.asp
Peregrino and I have both scored good deals on great cases with them before. The most recent sale is currently expired, but has the info.

I've never bought anything from them, but I've heard these guys recommended:

This one looks promising: http://www.casesbypelican.com/
I don't have personal knowledge of them, but they sure seem to ave a good selection on weapons cases.

Quantico arms has/had them in stock (at least in the Ft Lewis store).
I don't know if the price is the BEST but I got a 1720 w/ foam from at their booth at the gun show for $159 and that was pretty good from my research. I think they had a $20 special at the show.
Hmmmm... They don't show them for sale on their web site. I'm sure you could give the store a call and see if they can take care of you. Not as easy as ordering over the net though.

A little off center here, T.S.
But try your local Dive Shops. We sold quit a few for the U/W photo crowds, to help protect their camars and such.
edit: here's one, even with a like to Pelican in their "gear" section.

I bought three recently from LA Police gear and all three arrived within 4 days (to my surprise).

I bought my 1700 from Cops Plus. With the foam option and free shipping to my location they beat all the other 4 less guys.
It's a nice case, but heavy as hell, and the latches are a #!@*@. I know you didn't ask, but if I had to do it all over again, I'd go with TR's recommendation for Starlight.

That is the bottom line.
The Pelicans weigh so much that if you put much more then one light rifle in the double rifle case, you have busted the airline weight allowance that they recently dropped.
The Starlight allows you to carry at least two rifles in it.
Just my .02, YMMV.

NOTE - The price was so good because they are changing to a more "user friendly" latch - akin to the Storm latches IIRC and they were clearing out old inventory. Despite some (seriously) skinned knuckles the Starlight cases have been well worth the money. I quit using my Pelican 1750 as soon as I got them. That said - any cases I purchase from now on will probably be Storm/Hardigg. The Pelicans just aren't worth the weight/cost penalty and I haven't had a chance to check out Starlight's new latches (I wonder if I can retrofit?). My .02 - Peregrino
