Gun and gear reviews My luck continues..
Few days ago I picked up this pelican 1770 for $150 (normally $1000-1500) and today I went and picked up this 1750 off the same lady for $100!
In total I paid $250 for nearly $2000 worth of cases (not saying they’re worth that - just going off what sites are selling them for)

You’d never catch me paying retail for these - my $20 crappy tire ones have treated me well

Manufacturers in the gun industry have the upper hand and it kinda angers me.
From small M-lok aluminum pieces that can cost upwards of $100
Or bipods that hit $1000+
Or scope rings that go up to $600
Or Muzzle Brakes that go up to $800

I was literally about to order mdt rings and then thought fuck that.
How are rings worth more than the inclosed forend for my xrs chassis? Or the same price as a grnd pod.
It's a bit ridiculous.

Glad I bought my MDT elite rings before they went up another like $100-$150 lol

I’m glad I bought MDT Elite rings factory seconds on their Black Friday sale. Even more glad they ran out of seconds and shipped me brand new rings for the discounted price.
Hell of a company, I’ll be buying from them again, even if it hurts the wallet.

All their stuff. I'm happy I bought my chassis from rdsc before they followed the price raise from MDT.
Chassis went up like $190 overnight back around January.
I want to get a ckye pod eventually but don't want to pay that ridiculous $800 but pretty soon it will probably be $1000 for the cheapest one.
I get materials have gone up but holy shit man. I like their products but it's getting a bit ridiculous with the prices

I have the grnd-pod cuz I’m not spending that much on one when I barely even get time to take my stuff out to the range let alone hunting lol

u/LongRoadNorth May 03 '26
I have the grnd pod right now but considering upgrading. But I agree it's ridiculously priced

I'm actually quite impressed with the build quality on some of the chineseium ones. Just as tough as the Pelican cases IMHO.

If you are buying these from a widow, a brother is probably screaming in heaven.🤣

Too bad you weren’t there sooner, for the hardware that would’ve been inside.

Pelican cases are like Yeti, stupid expensive for stupid people. But, you paying what it's worth, I'm beyond jealous.

u/So_Sorry_EH May 03 '26
Ironically I bought 2 massive yeti coolers off someone on marketplace for a steal a few summers ago!

I have had that case on the top
It must weigh 50 lbs empty
The only use for cases this stong and heavy is if you are bringing these guns with you on an African safari and they need to go on an airline
I sold mine for the price you paid and never looked back

u/So_Sorry_EH May 03 '26
For the price I paid I’ll make use of them, I like the idea I can just throw them in my truck box and not worry about them.
