Shotgun case recommendations needed

[John Havard]

I am planning to take one of my Parker 16's with me this coming fall to Alaska. Every year I go bowhunting for moose up high in the Wrangell Mountains. We fly in by Super Cub. Weight and bulk (even with an extra costly gear flight) is severely limited.

As stated, the hunt is for moose with one of my traditional bows, with bird hunting being secondary. But the number of ptarmigan and grouse make the idea of having a lightweight shotgun along to use after the moose is down is very appealing. Ptarmigan Alfredo with reconstituted morels is hard to beat.

I need a sturdy and lightweight takedown shotgun case for my Parker. The case will be used to protect my shotgun in the bottom of a rolling bag when traveling from the L48 to God's country, then later during transport in the back of the Super Cub. I own several soft cases and a couple of very heavy aluminum cases. What I need but do not have is a takedown case that's both strong/sturdy and lightweight. I'll probably take a gun with 26" tubes but would like the option of carrying one of my 30" guns too. TSA locks suitable for commercial air transport would be a plus.

Suggestions for cases would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your input.
