DAKA® Hard Case R44 - The Hard Rifle Case, Optimized
The Magpul DAKA Hard Case R44 addresses the real shortcomings of traditional hard cases with a stronger, easier-to-use, and more reliable system for transporting and storing rifles and gear. Built around the DAKA GRID Organizer, the R44 delivers a premium storage solution optimized for protection, organization, and durability—inside and out.
Streamlined, easy to maneuver, and designed to eliminate common snag points that lead to case damage, the DAKA Hard Case glides smoothly across most surfaces while in transit. Advanced injection molding, improved latch geometry, recessed lock housings, ergonomic handles, and dependable wheels combine to create a case that protects better, handles easier, and lasts longer in real-world use.
Designed for mid-length rifles and heavier loadouts, the R44 comfortably accommodates one or two rifles along with the essential accessories required for travel, training, or long-term storage.
Hard Case made in the USA.

ADVANCED INJECTION MOLDING TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES GREATER STRENGTH, DURABILITY, AND CASE INTEGRITY - Gas charged polypropylene reduces weight and its structure creates a tough outer shell.
Sleek and streamlined outer design means minimal places for snags to occur.
Hinges provide stability when open and are nested in a polymer housing to prevent tampering and break-ins.
INTERNAL STORAGE AREA BUILT AROUND THE TRANSFORMATIONAL DAKA GRID ORGANIZER - DAKA GRID Organizer Panels and Blocks are lighter, easy to use, and customizable for every loadout.
Reconfigurable without tools to maximize storage capacity and ensure gear stays in place.
The GRID doesn’t absorb moisture, dirt, or other contaminants like open cell foam, and it wipes clean with a damp cloth.
Stronger GRID and Hard Case combination provides better overall protection for your gear.
THE DETAILS THAT MATTER FOR A GREAT CASE - Internal corner pockets create an impact-resistant bumper zone that also provides extra storage space for small objects.
Water and weather-resistant gasket keeps out dust and moisture and includes self-equalizing pressure control.
Case frame includes lugs at the base that interface with the lid, allowing cases to nest together.
Strap recesses keep straps in place to mitigate shifting in transit.
UNIQUE LATCH DESIGN MAKES OPENING, CLOSING, AND LOCKING A SNAP - Two cammed, push-button latches can be opened and closed with one hand.
Lock and zip tie pass-throughs secure locks within the latch and streamline the case, preventing impact damage to the lock and the case.
HANDLES ARE COMFORTABLE AND FUNCTIONAL - Handle cross sections are modeled on our pistol grips for maximum comfort and grip.
The two hinged handles are longer than standard handles for more grip flexibility.
Handles are designed to remain in when stowed and to stay out when deployed.
A third, fixed handle located adjacent to the wheels makes gripping and maneuvering the case easier.
