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.

Make sure the contents of your rolling bag do not have to be removed to get to the gun. Some require unpacking to examine the gun. This was a good idea on paper, but not too good in practice.
