I don't have the IM3300 but I do have a a couple 1750 and the V800. The 1750 is a bit more rugged (stiffer) a bit bigger and slightly heavier than the IM3300 (material seems to be similar to the Pelican Vaults) according to the specs. The IM3300 has the push button releases versus the camming release on the 1750. Just my opinion, but I think the 1750 could take more abuse, but if you're not dropping them out of planes or helicopters, both will serve you fine.

Know this thread is old as the hill, but still pelican.

Agree.

My 1520 fell off my tailgate going about 40mph... everything in it was fine.

Lake wood cases are great!

I ended up getting the im3300 and it's been perfect. No complaints.

The Harbor Freight version of the Pelican is pretty good for the money.

So, what kind of rifle case is nice and durable, with cut foam insides, that won't break the bank? I know Pelican is great, but was hoping to save some cash. What say ye?

I have 4 of the Boyt hard side cases. Steel clasps, locks up nice and secure. Catch them on sale for $100. The 53" is what you would need for a 26" barreled rifle.

I have two Boyt gun cases. Sturdy and seem well built. Not sure how they compare to others.

A lot depends on you intent. Airline vs. to the range.

If you control the carrying, a simple soft case can suffice. If you are jet setting for a hunt, the needs change

Underwater Kinetics makes some decent stuff. They have been a good alternative to Pelican in my experience.

I have a Plano that I like a lot, but it clearly wouldn't be up to some of the tasks that my Pelicans can handle. YMMV, but I kinda doubt it...
