Might not be a big deal, but anything that has the potential of me landing in jail, missing my flight or other circumstance by an official and his/her mood that day is simply not worth the risk.

Indi, please give specific Airlines, name them please, who insist on fiber or factory boxes for your ammo. All the ones I fly have no such rule so would be nice to know about the ones that fit your statement. Thanks.

I go to the range a lot. I like to check zeros frequently. Have had some scopes get knocked off in the past. (Hell, just look at my reedbuck from last year; what's left of him).
