Best gun case under the 62 inch airline reg? - 10/06/09
I just spent an hour surfing the net trying to find a good guncase that measures under the 62 inch max for airline travel (without paying the penalty). Some people do not realize that depending on the airlines, you can be charged $175 each way for your oversize gun case!
I currently have a double scoped rifle case but it is way over 62 inches. It's hard to find a single scoped rifle case under 62 inches total inches (l+w+d). It looks like it can be done by buying a shotgun takedown case and unscrewing the barreled action from the stock - not my first choice. In fact there are a couple of cases that come close to having enough room for 2 scoped rifles broken down - but they look to be an inch or two shy on the width. My preference is a single scoped rifle under 62 inches that does not require removing the stock.
I am looking for aluminum or one of the better plastic models and not a cheap one. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.
