The Pelican 1720 Protector Long Case in Desert Tan (Pelican part no. 017200-0000-190) is a hard-shell long case for rifles, shotguns, tripods and other lengthy gear that has to survive travel. It carries the Protector design Pelican has built in the USA since 1976, with a watertight silicone O-ring lid, an automatic purge valve that equalizes air pressure, over-molded rubber handles and stainless steel hardware. A 3-piece foam set fills the 41.80-inch interior, and polyurethane wheels with stainless steel bearings let one person roll it through a terminal or a parking lot. The 41.80-inch interior suits mid-length gear that is too long for the 1700.
