3 gun competition travel case

When I started I used a IM3300 hard case for all three guns. Seemed like a good idea but it was big and heavy so lugging it around got old quick.
Over the years I've transitioned to soft cases for my rifle and shotgun and a very small and slim hybrid soft/hard case for my pistols. I much prefer it this way.
Sorry can't help with make or model of the cases, they are nothing fancy, I think one might be a "mikes" or something cheap.

I use a Tactical Tailor single rifle case for all 3. My shotgun is short at 18.5" bbl so they all fit.

If I'm going far I put this soft case in my Nanuk 990 for more protection.

I'm using a no-name black case.
Cabelas has a 2-gun soft case, and it goes on sale every so often. It looked pretty good to me, would have bought it if I needed another.
I use both separatly, depending of where I'm going and what I'm bringing.
For those flying, Pelican 1700 is the bigger you can get without going oversize

Friend of mine used a hard golf bag case; lined it with foam $ trimmed to fit the guns. Fits the Sporting Goods luggage category and looks a lot less steal-able to ground crew.
I thought it was a pretty innovative idea.

It is small and will not accomodate "race setup" like shotguns with +5 extension and 18" AR. I have my AR and pistol in the main compartment and I strap the shotgun in the lid with velcro glued to the lid and carved out foam.
1700 is good if you travel by air and dont want to pay the oversized luggage. If you have no air travel planned, a 1750 will fit the bill nicely.

I use a Nanuk 995 and am very pleased with it.
It fits my M2, AR15 and a handgun with no issues. I saw a new firmer foam at TACCOM that they use now and it was excellent.

Is there a scope on the AR?
The issue I find with most cases for 3 gun uses (full size shotgun / AR style rifle with 18" barrel / handgun) is that the case isn't wide enough, ie if the rifle has a scope the long guns won't fit side by side.
I can usually squeeze the handgun into a left over part of the case.
