RE: taking rifle on airline?
Ihad no trouble at all getting my rifle through airport security to go to utah. I got a kalispel metal case and purchased 2 of the airline locks that have a combination but also has a opening for a key that all baggage checking people have the key is universal and works in all the locks. I took my bolt out of my gun and put a lock down through the trigger also for added security i had 2 boxes of ammo and 2 knives in the case also and had no problems with security. My case took one heck of a beating though it has scratches all over it. Thats where the case really pays for itself. Zero never moved. I flew Southwest.
