Technically my fifth Nanuk after having sold a 985 earlier this year. Built like a vault, I trust my rifles to be transported in these overbuilt boxes. Highly recommend if you love your rifles or whatever you are entrusting to be carried in your Nanuk.
These cases are great quality. This is my third Nanuk case now, and I love that I am supporting a Canadian company by purchasing Nanuk. In my line of work as an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, most will have some sort of "road case" for their tools. I like to show off Nanuk cases to colleagues and the quality and protection that they provide. I look forward to partnering with them again in the future.
This case is very good. I bought it empty am cut foam myself to fit it. My rifle doesn’t move around and I feel it is well protected.
Best firearm protection for air travel out there! Quality is unmatched just like their other products, you get more than you pay for!
I own 3 Nanuk gun cases and I just purchased an ammo case. This is my go-to gun case. It has great quality, is dependable and can handle rugged environments.

Why NANUK 985?

Keep your case from sealing shut. Automatically.

Automatic Pressure Release Valve

Changes in altitude, temperature, humidity and geographic location create a “vacuum lock” which can effectively seal a case shut. NANUK's integrated auto-pressure valve equalizes this atmospheric pressure difference. Using state-of-the-art technology, the micro vent allows air to pass through while preventing water from entering.

Stand out with a unique design and color selection.

Design & Colors

Rounded corners and chamfered edges merge with strong character lines to deliver a design that is as sleek and modern as it is tough and reliable. Be it for aesthetic preference or more practical purposes, color choice is an important feature for many NANUK users - choose from up to nine colors depending on the case.

Get High-Impact Protection with a fraction of the weight.

High-Impact Protection. A fraction of the weight.

Indestructible & Lightweight NK-7 Resin

Impact-resistant, lightweight, and armed with an NK-7 resin body, this NANUK case is designed with rounded corners, thick, strong walls, and oversized details. No matter what nature throws its way, NANUK is built to survive. This NANUK is shock-absorbent to prevent damage to the case and, more importantly, to the valuable contents.

IP67 Waterproof & Dustproof

Go where no case has gone before.

IP67 Waterproof & Dustproof

NANUK protective cases were primarily designed for front line protection, search and rescue missions, first responders, military, industrial, marine and diving uses. The professionals that rely on NANUK cases require a reliable, waterproof solution which resists deformation and fatigue. NANUK ensures a long-lasting, watertight seal - nothing gets in – nothing!

PowerClaw Superior Latching System

Close with confidence. Open with ease.

PowerClaw Superior Latching System

Ensuring that your smaller gear stays well protected from the elements, this NANUK case's patented PowerClaw latching system uses compressive force and triple action to clamp your case tight. Integrated slide locks offer added security, preventing your case from opening during transport or if it’s dropped. The super tough nylon construction and stainless-steel hardware ensure that your important items stay safe in your NANUK waterproof case no matter where your journey takes you.

TSA PowerClaw Latches

One step up with Lockable PowerClaw Latches

TSA PowerClaw Latches

We found a way to make our patented PowerClaw latches even better - they are now lockable! This NANUK case has two TSA PowerClaws and adds another layer of security to your case. All our TSA Latches bear the Travel Sentry® Red Diamond logo, which allows security personnel to open your case for inspection when required during travel. Each lock has a special TSA001 to TSA003 code, which is used by the TSA, CATSA, and other security agencies to know which secure tool to use to open the lock.

Polyurethane Wheels on NANUK Case

Smooth & Silent rolling on any surface

Polyurethane Wheels

Smooth mobility is a major advantage, especially when transporting cumbersome equipment. This NANUK case features polycarbonate wheels molded with polyurethane. Similar to what you’d find on rollerblades, these wheels, along with their sealed stainless steel bearings, ensure a quiet, effortless trip over a multitude of terrains and through lots of weather conditions.

Lid Stay & Reinforced Metal Padlock Holes

Protect & Carry with Confidence

Reinforced Metal Padlock eyelets

NANUK comes loaded with innovative features. All models have integrate reinforced metal padlock eyelets that let you lock down your gear so you can carry and protect your valuables with confidence.

Spring Loaded Soft Grip Handle

Features two ergonomic handles for easy transport, oversized to accommodate gloves.

Soft Grip Spring-Loaded Handles

NANUK's soft-grip handles make heavy transportation comfortable and convenient. On the LONG series cases, you'll find the added benefit of two extra-long spring-loaded handles that retract when released, minimizing the chances of damage during transit.

Outstanding Quality

I ordered this case as it was the same measurements as several other AR15 cases I have. I am very pleased with the quality of the case, the locks and foam. I would recommend this case to anyone looking to provide durable case protection to their guns. A+++++

5 stars tested

I purchased the case for my show pro pedal steel guitar - it’s a tight fit for the instrument but it’s perfect if you know how to pad it . I just got back from playing in the north, it held up wonderfully. Very easy to carry and roll around the airport, fits lengthwise in a cab trunk. I am proud to have purchased a Canadian made case too.

Thanks for sharing your experience! We’re delighted your NANUK 985 protected your pedal steel guitar on your trip and made airport travel easier. It’s wonderful to hear you’re proud to support a Canadian-made case. Safe travels to your next show!

Excellent!

Would give it 5 stars but the price is the problem, I caughed up the $ but not even the foam included does feel a bit like a rip off. Trying to buy canadian but they’re not making it easy. However the case is great, a layer of plug foam would be good so it’s easier to customize it

Great Case!

Purchases the 985 with full foam for my new Citori 725 Field. I am very confident that will allow me to travel back to ND for my annual pheasant hunt. The quality and build are both incredible.

Quality, Fit and Finish

The Quality, fit and finish of my new NANUK 985 are exacly what I expected, since I enjoy using and being seen as a discriminating shooter, with my NANUK 905 Ammo Case to my NANUK 935 6-up Handgun Case, to my NANUK 985 Rifle Case. They are all rugged, strong and ensure life long comfort and security. I would not hesitate to recommend NANUK for all your needs, as I needed this new acqusition. I could even use another one!

Very Happy

Between the excellent customer service and the high quality product you get Nanuk is an excellent choice for a gun case.

Bruce Heslip (Prince George, CA)
Good product.

Initial examination of the case appears to be in excellent condition after shipping. Glad there are wheels on the case, it’s not a light-weight and once loaded with equipment could be awkward to transport without them. The foam is reasonably dense and should meet my requirements, will find out for sure once I cut it to customize the interior layout. Would be nice if Nanuk offered the option of software on the website to design and then custom cut foam to client specifications beyond the few currently offered on the website; I was looking at another vendor who does it but wanted to keep my purchase within Canada instead of ordering the same case from south of the border. Much nicer when foam is machine cut with electric wire or CNC/laser. Like the positive feel of the latches and hermetic seal of the lid plus having positive stops instead of just flopping open. The metal liners in the hasp holes are a nice touch as are the TSA locks built-in to the latches. When ordering foam would be nice to see open-cell (polyurethane) ‘pick-n-pluck’, solid open-cell, and closed-cell (polyethylene) foam options offered on the website. Perhaps even anti-static polyethylene foam or Semi-vel foam topper could be offered.

Case 985

The case is great. Size and shape are cool. But way too pricey!

Erik Madison (Naples, US)
Nanuk 985

I was looking for a high quality travel case for my turkey shotgun and believe I found it in this case. It’s sturdy and well built without being too heavy, has built in TSA locks, and easily customized foam inserts. Only request I might have it to make one slightly smaller. Many airlines have a 62 inch limit (length + width+ height) before charging oversized bag fees. The Nanuk 985 totals just over 63 inches. On a recent flight to Missouri with my turkey shotgun on American Airlines I was not charged an oversized luggage fee ($200! on their website) thankfully but a slightly smaller case would take the worry out of travel and would still easily fit most takedown guns. Love the case !

Foam was tougher to cut than pelican but overall seems like a great case

J
Jonathan W (Canton, US)
Very nice storage container!

I was searching for a cost effective low profile container that actually sealed and held together for my ATV.
Found a guy who tested 5 brands and the NANUK actually out performed the over priced, over rated Pelican containers on all levels at a better price!
The latches are great and the overall construction is solid.
If the 985 is a representative of all of NANUK products, then I would most definitely recommend their products.

P
Parker Roth (Greer, US)
Love it!

Very well-built case with all the features you’d need. Wheels, two locks, and high-quality foam. While definitely more expensive than other cases, its potential multi-purpose use, totally make it worth it.
