Excellent!

Would give it 5 stars but the price is the problem, I caughed up the $ but not even the foam included does feel a bit like a rip off. Trying to buy canadian but they're not making it easy. However the case is great, a layer of plug foam would be good so it's easier to customize it

Outstanding Quality

I ordered this case as it was the same measurements as several other AR15 cases I have. I am very pleased with the quality of the case, the locks and foam. I would recommend this case to anyone looking to provide durable case protection to their guns. A+++++

Great Case!

Purchases the 985 with full foam for my new Citori 725 Field. I am very confident that will allow me to travel back to ND for my annual pheasant hunt. The quality and build are both incredible.

My first rifle case

This case is very good. I bought it empty am cut foam myself to fit it. My rifle doesn't move around and I feel it is well protected.

Nanuk cases always impress

These cases are great quality. This is my third Nanuk case now, and I love that I am supporting a Canadian company by purchasing Nanuk. In my line of work as an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, most will have some sort of "road case" for their tools. I like to show off Nanuk cases to colleagues and the quality and protection that they provide. I look forward to partnering with them again in the future.

Great for combo shotgun

Bought for my break down combo trap gun and its the perfect size. Had all the features i wanted and is relatively light and very strong, appreciate that it came with tsa locks and spots for extra locks. Overall no complaints, great case at a decent price.

Quality, Fit and Finish

The Quality, fit and finish of my new NANUK 985 are exacly what I expected, since I enjoy using and being seen as a discriminating shooter, with my NANUK 905 Ammo Case to my NANUK 935 6-up Handgun Case, to my NANUK 985 Rifle Case. They are all rugged, strong and ensure life long comfort and security. I would not hesitate to recommend NANUK for all your needs, as I needed this new acqusition. I could even use another one!

Good product.

Initial examination of the case appears to be in excellent condition after shipping. Glad there are wheels on the case, it's not a light-weight and once loaded with equipment could be awkward to transport without them. The foam is reasonably dense and should meet my requirements, will find out for sure once I cut it to customize the interior layout. Would be nice if Nanuk offered the option of software on the website to design and then custom cut foam to client specifications beyond the few currently offered on the website; I was looking at another vendor who does it but wanted to keep my purchase within Canada instead of ordering the same case from south of the border. Much nicer when foam is machine cut with electric wire or CNC/laser. Like the positive feel of the latches and hermetic seal of the lid plus having positive stops instead of just flopping open. The metal liners in the hasp holes are a nice touch as are the TSA locks built-in to the latches. When ordering foam would be nice to see open-cell (polyurethane) 'pick-n-pluck', solid open-cell, and closed-cell (polyethylene) foam options offered on the website. Perhaps even anti-static polyethylene foam or Semi-vel foam topper could be offered.

Nanuk 985

I was looking for a high quality travel case for my turkey shotgun and believe I found it in this case. It's sturdy and well built without being too heavy, has built in TSA locks, and easily customized foam inserts. Only request I might have it to make one slightly smaller. Many airlines have a 62 inch limit (length + width+ height) before charging oversized bag fees. The Nanuk 985 totals just over 63 inches. On a recent flight to Missouri with my turkey shotgun on American Airlines I was not charged an oversized luggage fee ($200! on their website) thankfully but a slightly smaller case would take the worry out of travel and would still easily fit most takedown guns. Love the case !

Features

Automatic Pressure Release Valve
Keep your case from sealing shut. Automatically.
Changes in altitude, temperature, humidity and geographic location create a "vacuum lock" which can effectively seal a case shut. NANUK's integrated auto-pressure valve equalizes this atmospheric pressure difference. Using state-of-the-art technology, the micro vent allows air to pass through while preventing water from entering.

Design & Colors
Stand out with a unique design and color selection.
Rounded corners and chamfered edges merge with strong character lines to deliver a design that is as sleek and modern as it is tough and reliable. Be it for aesthetic preference or more practical purposes, color choice is an important feature for many NANUK users - choose from up to nine colors depending on the case.

Indestructible & Lightweight NK-7 Resin
Get High-Impact Protection with a fraction of the weight.
Impact-resistant, lightweight, and armed with an NK-7 resin body, this NANUK case is designed with rounded corners, thick, strong walls, and oversized details. No matter what nature throws its way, NANUK is built to survive. This NANUK is shock-absorbent to prevent damage to the case and, more importantly, to the valuable contents.

IP67 Waterproof & Dustproof
Go where no case has gone before.
NANUK protective cases were primarily designed for front line protection, search and rescue missions, first responders, military, industrial, marine and diving uses. The professionals that rely on NANUK cases require a reliable, waterproof solution which resists deformation and fatigue. NANUK ensures a long-lasting, watertight seal - nothing gets in - nothing!

PowerClaw Superior Latching System
Close with confidence. Open with ease.
Ensuring that your smaller gear stays well protected from the elements, this NANUK case's patented PowerClaw latching system uses compressive force and triple action to clamp your case tight. Integrated slide locks offer added security, preventing your case from opening during transport or if it's dropped. The super tough nylon construction and stainless-steel hardware ensure that your important items stay safe in your NANUK waterproof case no matter where your journey takes you.

2-Stage Retractable Handle
A Retractable Handle Fitted for Smalls & Talls

Hassle-free transport comes courtesy of NANUK's two-stage retractable handle. Posture-friendly, the handle can be adjusted to two different heights and offers easy, one-handed open and close with its quick-release button.

Lid Stay & Reinforced Metal Padlock Holes

TSA PowerClaw Latches
One step up with Lockable PowerClaw Latches

All their TSA Latches bear the Travel Sentry Red Diamond logo, which allows security personnel to open your case for inspection when required during travel. Each lock has a special TSA001 to TSA003 code, which is used by the TSA, CATSA, and other security agencies to know which secure tool to use to open the lock.

Polyurethane Wheels
Smooth & Silent rolling on any surface
Smooth mobility is a major advantage, especially when transporting cumbersome equipment. This NANUK case features polycarbonate wheels molded with polyurethane. Similar to what you'd find on rollerblades, these wheels, along with their sealed stainless steel bearings, ensure a quiet, effortless trip over a multitude of terrains and through lots of weather conditions.
