Anyone have opinions good or bad on Zarges cases for traveling with firearms? I just became away of them and they look to be of high quality (certainly the case if price is any indicator). The insert system looking interesting as well. Asked Austrian and South African friends (albeit non-hunters) and they had not heard of the company.

I usually use my Tuffpak and have had success with it on a bunch of trips. Really like the fact that it doesn't look like a gun case. However, I've upgraded my guns and don't want to risk damage with them sliding around in the hollow case. Even storing them in soft gun cases there is some movement. Another consideration is weight. Don't think I could meet regular weight requirements with a Zarges case since I will be bringing two rifles on my next safari. Thoughts?

 
I haven’t used one but did look at them at the DSC show and was very intrigued. They do get quite firm once the air is out. I kind of wondered about it it would wear in blued steel. Would certainly be fine on any AR type gun.

Again I don’t know that was just my thought from seeing and touching them.
 
At 28.3 lbs, giving away alot of storage and room for other things.
 
Those look like an exceptional gun case, but like you said, weight is the issue. I have a bunch of different cases but find I like the TuffPak the best. I put a jacket in the bottom and fill in with clothing to keep the guns from moving around and never had a problem
 
Appreciate the feedback. I was trying to talk myself into buying one (there's a coupon for 10% off and free shipping right now) but like Bullthrower's suggestion to simply better pack my Tuffpak.
 
I am also a tuffpak fan….

I started using these soft cases in my tuffpack because they take up more room..

and they are extremely functional and protect guns when outside the tuffpak
