As my dad used to always say in that matter, hold alittle higher next time!!!!!!! God bless him!!! I hav eseveral cases for my weapons and have tried several as well. I just really like the Ameri-Vault that it travels in when I am carrying my Benchrest rifle in it. It sits flat in the ground and opens like a doctors bag. The scope always travels up and that way it always get set down stock first and not on its side which can damage a scope. Just a pain carrying it around all the time in the ext. cab part of my S-10.
