ALPS Outdoorz Waterproof Rifle Case Lead

The new ALPS OutdoorZ Waterproof Rifle Case was developed for backcountry hunters, and is ideally suited for anyone who demands maximum protection and portability for their firearm.

Constructed of a waterproof 500D welded PVC outer shell, the case integrates high-density, closed-cell flotation foam that not only protects your rifle from the inevitable bumps and dings that occur in the field, but also ensures your rifle stays dry during inclement weather. The drybag-style, roll-top closure system provides a tight seal to keep water out and offers an adjustable fit for rifles up to 53 inches long and up to 10.5 inches in height.

The case’s rugged construction includes three external compression straps on the side that allow you to further secure the rifle in the case for a snug, protective fit. These straps can also be used to secure a tripod or other shooting support system, so you have everything you need when it is time to make the shot. To assist in field transport, the case comes with an integrated top carry handle and a padded and adjustable removable shoulder strap. A D-ring is also added to the end of the case so it can be conveniently hung to dry or for storage when not in use.

The Waterproof Rifle Case measures 57 inches in length by 11 inches in width with a roll length of 49 to 53 inches and weighs 2 pounds, 9 ounces. MSRP is $99.99.

Smart Optics 101

Smart optics are changing the way hunters and shooters approach distance, accuracy and confidence in the field. Rangefinding riflescopes, dial-up turrets and integrated ballistic systems are no longer gimmicks. They work, but only if you take the time to understand them and use them to their full potential.
