What is the go to BR Gun Case now that Plano Air glides are discontinued?

The Plano Field Lockers are great for longer guns - it can support up to, I believe, 56-57”. I have 2 and they are very durable with nice wheels with bearings, but not overbuilt for personal transport like a Pelican case. Despite being much bigger, it’s the same empty weight as the Pelican 1760 53” case.

To be fair, If I flew with my high-dollar rifles, I’d get one of the SKB or Pelican cases meant for the 50-cals and get some custom foam cut for them.
 
What brand/type you get may depend on how long your rig is. The long softsided cases from Creedmore will fit the 55" LR rifles just fine.
 
I was able to buy an air glide online last fall. Shipping was expensive but worth it.
 
Used air glide for couple of years. When hauling multiple guns, broke latches when sliding guns out of truck bed. Also, they flipped over easily. Started using Vault 770 and really well pleased.
 
I found this deal online for the PELICAN vault 770, may just be a Black Friday deal but I went ahead and ordered one.

I still have 2 Airglides but never use them since going to the Vault case, I now have 5 of them.
Indestructible, lockable if you fly and the ability to not worry whether your 6 - 7,000.00 rifle is secure and protected or not
