The Bulldog BD360 Elite is a 48-inch rifle case designed for hunters, shooters, and field enthusiasts who need serious protection for their firearms and optics during transport and storage. Built with water-resistant nylon and extra-thick impact-resistant padding, this rifle case safeguards your rifle, scoped shotgun, or precision setup against the bumps, weather, and rough handling that come with backcountry trips, range days, and hunting season. The case's distinctive shape accommodates larger scopes and bipods without compromising fit.

Protection is the foundation here. The 2¼-inch total padding layer absorbs shock while a soft inner lining keeps your barrel and metal surfaces safe from marring—critical when you're carrying a finished stock or blued steel. The water-resistant outer shell isn't waterproof, but it'll shed rain and morning dew on the drive to your hunting spot. Interior dimensions are generous enough for most rifle and optic combinations; Bulldog recommends deducting 2 inches from the stated 48-inch external measurement for actual usable length when planning your fit.

Carry and access features reflect practical field use. A padded shoulder strap with all-metal swivels spreads weight and won't tear or slip during a long walk in or out. Three exterior zippered pockets give you room for ammunition, documents, or gear without opening the main compartment. Heavy-duty zippers with oversized pulls function smoothly even when you're wearing gloves or working in cold weather. The modern quilted outer panels look clean and finished while adding structural durability.

Available in black with tan accents, the BD360 Elite bridges the gap between economy soft cases and premium hard cases—practical, protective, and built to last.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this case fit my scoped rifle?

The BD360 Elite is designed to accommodate scoped rifles and shotguns with larger optics, including setups with bipods. The case's distinctive shape works with most modern rifle and scope combinations. Since the stated 48 inches is the external measurement, Bulldog recommends deducting 2 inches to estimate actual usable interior length for best fit.

Is this case waterproof or just water-resistant?

The outer shell is water-resistant nylon, which means it sheds rain and light moisture but is not fully waterproof. It's suitable for typical hunting and range transport but won't keep contents dry if submerged or exposed to heavy prolonged rain.

Does the soft lining protect my barrel from scratches?

Yes. The soft inner lining is designed not to stick to or mark gun barrels and metal surfaces, making it safe for finished stocks, blued steel, and nickel-plated parts.

What's included and how do I carry it?

The case includes a padded shoulder strap with all-metal swivels for comfortable carry over distance. You also get three exterior zippered pockets for storing ammunition, range notes, or field gear. The heavy-duty zippers and oversized pulls are designed to function smoothly even when wearing gloves.
