I have both Pelican and Americase. They are both good and both heavy. Americase did some drop testing if I remember correctly, of course to prove thier superiority.
One thing about Americase. You can now get them to make a case sort of custom fit for your gun. I have one and like it.
The best way to fit a Pelican is with a reciprocating knife(electric turkey knife). Pelican is the standard case for rifles of the tactical variety.
APS, you don't have a real 59 narrow panel bassman that you area tired of do you??
