I have to agree that the pelican cases are by far tougher than anyother case out there on the market. My step father spent $200 on a metal case similar to the case above in the picture to take on his african safari. I dont know how the baggage handlers did it, but they put a hole right through it. Luckily they didnt hit the rifles!! Now he has a case that is worthless. First if he had bought a pelican they would replace it for free....but I highly doubt that it can be punctured. I am in the military and all of our test equiptment case are going to pelican.....trust me if we cant tear it up no one can. And they also make some awesome flashlights. The cases are expensive around $200 for the double rifle case. But you usually get what you pay for. If its a double rifle case and you have $3000 worth of rifles and scopes 200 bucks really isnt much to protect your investment. Just my thought
