This is a great case. You can mount an 8" SCT OTA w/ dove tail mounting base w/ ease. It's large and Light weight. The latches seem flimsy, but they have not broken yet....so I guess they are OK. Everything about the case is great except for the latches. I guess I expect heavier duty latches for the case price. I would buy the case again and recommend to my friends.
