Classy and tough as a tank!Will depend on it to carry my scoped rifles forever!
Simply amazing! Bought the Nanuk 995 as I already own a Pelican 1750 and can say without a doubt I will choose Nanuk over Pelican any day. To start the 995 is 52" by 14.5" while the 1750 is only 50.5" by 13.5" (Both interior measurements) The 995 has a foamless weight of 21.6 lbs and the Pelican is 23.5 lbs which helps if you plan on taking it on a flight, or plan on taking on foot during an outdoor trip. The Nanuk case features 2 spring loaded handles which may seem unnecessary but when you constantly have to push the handles in on your Pelican case to fit it into a truck or storage the spring loaded handles are a dream. With your Nanuk case you get 4 power claw latches that secure the case in the event that you don't have locks, 2 of which also have TSA locks installed on them which you would have to buy seperate TSA approved locks if you purchased a Pelican case. Both the Nanuk and Pelican case come with pressure equalizer valves so there are points to both products, as well as both Nanuk and Pelican both have Polyurethane wheels and stainless steel bearings both get points but the Nanuk wheels are thinner which I find helps turning the case when wheeling it around as compared to the Pelican 1750 which has wider wheels requiring a bit more force to turn it. The Nanuk 995 also has the design feature of being stackable with other Nanuk cases so if you need a large number of these for surveying, construction, photography, etc you have that option while Pelican cases I don't believe they do. Pelican does give the unique option to have a custom name plate added to your case order while I haven't seen that option on any Nanuk cases, depends on what you want but I find that a cool feature. But by far the most important thing is that Nanuk cases are made in Canada with a high quality of craftsmanship that I will continue to buy and hope this review convinces anyone looking for a high quality case!
I found it very difficult to find a quality case long enough to transport some of my items. The Nanuk 995 does the job admirably. The wheels are of the highest quality and very smooth. I have purchased three of these cases with no regrets and would recommend them to anyone. I also found David to be very professional and I continue to be a loyal customer.
