Can't say - It's never happened to me. On the other hand, I've driven some long distances to hunt but I've never flown (to hunt). Hopefully that will be changing in the future - Alaska is definitely one of the places I hope to hunt!

I'm not looking for a primary rifle, I have primary rifles in odd chamberings that make me happy and will likely buy more. I'm looking for a back-up rifle that I will be familiar with that I will be able to find ammunition for even if everything goes wrong.
