![[NEW RELEASE] America 250 Collection From Pelican!](https://i3.wp.com/www.recoilweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/AM250_0401-675x371.png?ssl=1 "[NEW RELEASE] America 250 Collection From Pelican!")
Pelican is the go-to choice for hardshell cases that need to survive in conditions that would destroy anything else. To celebrate America’s 250th birthday this year, Pelican has launched a new set of limited edition colors in its Elite Cooler and Vault Series lines!
Built to the same standards and testing as all the Pelican offerings, the new America 250 collection features limited edition colors to make these a little extra special. Pelican’s coolers are fantastic for keeping meat or brews cold, while the Vault Series makes some of the best gun cases that money can buy.
The coolers come in all sizes, from the small 8QT ($70 MSRP) to the impressive 70QT ($362 MSRP). Four Valut series cases are available in the America 250 collection. V100 pistol case ($45 MSRP), V30 5-pistol case ($140 MSRP), V770 single rifle case ($170 MSRP), and V800 double rifle case ($230 MSRP).
Pelican rifle cases are our top pick for any time that a rifle needs the best protection, especially while flying. High-impact hard plastic shell, the most robust latches on the market, and hard locking points built-in. When it needs to survive whatever TSA will do to it and retain zero after landing, Pelican gets the job done.
Take it a step further with Magpul DAKA grid internal organizers, which are available for the V770 and V800. This combination is how we transport our personal firearms for matches, hunts, and events.

- Made in the USA
- Built with Pelican’s signature roto-molded construction for maximum durability
- Extreme ice retention with freezer-grade gasket insulation
- Corrosion-resistant hardware designed for long-term outdoor use
- Finished in a patriotic, limited-edition design
