I've given up on every gun case I've ever had for air travel in favor of a 2-gun Americase. They're heavy. Two guns makes it weigh about 45#. Heavy I know but my guns are protected. You could likely get away with one of relatively compact and light aluminum cases for a single take down gun from Cabelas. They're available at Sportsmans Warehouse also - made in someones garage in Idaho I think. That's the next best thing to an Americase. They sell one for two take down guns but it gets heavy and a bit large and the internal foam packing will N O T prevent gun parts from banging together as the baggage handlers use the case as a giant hockey puck and have contests on who can throw and drop it the furthest. I have one of these double cases and would trade it in a heartbeat for a single. I'm going to throw it away otherwise.
