Foam was never meant for long term parking. Especially if you live in high humidity.
 
I have a Boyd’s hard double rifle case that holds my 20tac and cz 204r
The 20tac has a 30” barrel

Reason I went with the Boyd’s case over pelican was the latches. Pelicans are great but plastic latches in Phoenix I was afraid would not hold up over time.
The Boyd’s latches are metal and are very tough

For driving to the range, with a barrel 30" or shorter, try to find a Plano AirGlide. The rifle sits vertically so there is no side pressure on your riflescope. The forward foam cradle works fine with 3"-wide benchrest/F-class forearms. Unfortunately, the Airglide is out of production, but you may find one on eBay or a gun club member sale.

For airline shipping you'll want a sturdy, TSA-approved case. NOTE: You may want to consider separating the barreled action from the stock so you can go with a shorter case. For heavy rifles going as checked baggage, I like the big cases with wheels on one end.

The Plano AirGlide really is a nice case for taking your gun to the range. I like them because the bolt can remain in the rifle while in the case. I liked it so well that I bought 4 near the end of when they were available and only needed two.

Forum Boss: Another advantage is that the Airglide's foam rifle supports align the muzzle slightly down. I would fill my barrel with Wipe-out foam, then plug the chamber and muzzle (with a bag over muzzle) and put the gun in the case. Because of the nose-down orientation (chamber ABOVE muzzle), any leakage would flow out the muzzle NOT into the chamber. After the hour drive home from the range and a couple more hours wait, I could patch out the barrel. You guys would not believe how little brushing I had to do. Like Jayplace I bought a couple more Airglides before they stopped production.

I know you are looking for a soft case. Any of the ones mentioned will serve its limited purpose.

If you want a quality case, these are top notch:IMG_1255.png

These are Great cases--a pity they quit making them! Prices on used ones keep going up--if you see one and the hinges are intact you better buy it!
 
I just bought my 2nd Bulldog soft case and really like them! ($92.00 delivered on Amazon). I also own a Creedmoor Sports case that is also nice but in my opinion, on the Expensive side...
 
I always have a couple of Air glides on hunting/prairie dog trips. Keep thinking one of the rotomold companies would make a couple slight alterations(52-53" long) slightly taller to fit a chassis rifle. And call it an AirFit or Air/Tac( that should sell at Wal-Mart). A double wide option would be nice also.
 
Not cheap, but made in Arizona, last a lifetime, heavy duty soft case.
