Rifle Case – Product Review

TZ Case International

A few months ago, T.Z. Case International (I knew them as @tzcase on Twitter) sent me a rifle case to review on this blog. When the case arrived my first impression was WOW! I just expected a regular old rifle case. I didn’t expect it to look cool and have a giraffe textured finish!

T.Z. Case isn’t just your run-of-the-mill start up Internet store. They have over thirty years of manufacturing experience, and produce quality cases that are used around the world. Including stylish beauty cases, business cases and rugged gun and bow cases. They also offer creative packaging solutions and can create custom cases to meet your specific needs.

As busy as I’ve been lately, it took me a while to take the case on a trip to test ‘er out, but when my wife and I went on a pheasant hunt in South Dakota, we were able to give it a thorough review.

HX0053 GRF
DOUBLE RIFLE CASE
OD: 53″ x 15″ x 4.25″

These cases feature a sturdy aluminum frame, combination lock, and textured PVC panels wiht the look and feel of “real” giraffe skin. The 53-inch double rifle cases roll smoothly on inline skate wheels.

Ease of Use:
I don’t know what they could do to make it any easier to use. I was able to fit 2 shotguns and a rifle into it. They were very adequately padded and the latches were strong, secure and even had a lock and key(s). With rollers and a handle, transporting my guns was a breeze!

Functionality:
I only have one complaint, and really it’s more just a case (no pun intended) of expectations. Although the case is strong and sturdy with it’s high-impact PVC shell, aluminum frame and reinforced corners, I was expecting a full aluminum shell, but it does seem very durable. Hey, I had to find something wrong with it, right?

Is it Practical?
Absolutely. As my business grows, I am beginning to travel to hunting destinations more often and now I need look no further for a good rifle case. This case is all I will ever need.

Will My Buddies Make Fun of Me?
They better not! I did have one of my buddies call me a “diva” because of the giraffe print so asked him to show me his case (which was a glorified sock). Argument over. Besides, that eye-catching pattern will be easy to spot in the airport. I’m a fan! Only problem is that since I’m primarily a bowhunter, I’m gonna have to buy a bow case from them now.

TOTAL SCORE:
If you’re in the market for a rifle case, look no further than www.tzcase.com.
