hard-side case - 30" long?

Jay Christopherson

I'm looking for a relatively shallow depth (6" or so) hard-sided case that is 30" long. ideal dimensions would be something like 30"L x 10"W x 6"H. A Pelican 1650 is pretty close, but still bigger (and more expensive) than I want. I don't want to spend an arm and a leg on this. $100 or less would be ideal.

Doesn't have to be Pelican or Storm, can be any hard sided case, but weight and dimension matter. I'm trying to keep it as small and light as possible, while still providing 30" of length (which is the hardest dimension to find I am discovering).

Any ideas/suggestions?

EDIT: This would actually work pretty well if it had pickable foam in it:

This may be the same one you linked above.
 
I have one of the plano hard cases that fits my ar-10 A2 with a scope on top of it to boot.It was about 68.00 at bass pro.
 
I bought a Plano 52" AW for my Christmas gift to myself through Bullets.com. I was very impressed in the quality of construction. HD plastic and latches that will stay closed. At half the price of a Pelican or Storm case these Plano All-Weather cases have to be the best case you can buy for your money.
 
I bought an SKB for airline travel. It'll take two rifles, one on top of the other with a foam spacer in between. Narrower than the pelican and considerably cheaper.

The problem is is that even the SKB is still too expensive for this - it's not for transporting a rifle, it's for a different project that is related to shooting, but not any actual firearms parts, so it needed to be as cheap as possible. I think the Plano will fit the bill nicely.
