I have many Pelican cases and they are all wonderful.

On the cheap: Plastic tool box (with old clean towel for cushioning) and lift out tray for accessories.

High end: Pelican or Nanuk 930 with padded divider kit.

Big fan of Pelican for everything from scopes to mounts etc. Not cheap but will outlast the user...
