Pelican 1700 foam insert, cut to your gear

A 1700 holds one long gun comfortably. Routed closed-cell foam keeps the rifle pocket from spreading, and the magazine and optic pockets stay crisp through years of trips.

  • Scoped bolt rifle up to 34" with bipod folded and a box of ammunition
  • Two pistols and a PCC for a range or competition set

Ready-made RAGAR insert for the Pelican 1700

Not every Pelican 1700 needs custom pockets. The Pelican 1700 foam insert is a reusable RAGAR insert in a 35.75" x 13.5" footprint sized for this case: you press the blocks apart around your gear, and rebuild the layout any time without cutting. Choose custom cutting when you want CNC-routed pockets for a fixed kit; choose the RAGAR insert when the kit changes.
