Anyone have any experience using the Pelican Air case line for guns? Might take only a pair of doubles next trip, and both would fit in my 1615 plus other luggage. Used it for fishing equipment last time and it traveled back and forth fine, but rifles are a little more important. It's definitely lighter than most, but I've only travelled with it once. Usually use the largest Boyt hard case, but travelling alone this time and a lighter, more compact case would be nice.

Already I was beginning to fall into the African way of thinking: That if
you properly respect what you are after, and shoot it cleanly and on
the animal's terrain, if you imprison in your mind all the wonder of the
day from sky to smell to breeze to flowers—then you have not merely
killed an animal. You have lent immortality to a beast you have killed
because you loved him and wanted him forever so that you could always
recapture the day - Robert Ruark

I've done two Africa trips with them and they were great.

On my last trip, I broke down my double and packed it in one of the larger rectangular cases (1626?) along with my clothes. I had to pack my ammo separately but it was incredibly convenient.

Perfect. Thanks.

I have the Pelican 1516 and love it. I don't see any reason to not put your guns in it if properly padded. The case itself is pretty much indestructible.

I use a tuff pak and/or a pelican case. Pack them tight and you should be good. TSA is usually respectful of well packed guns. Can't say the same for the African airports. I have not had an issues on 15 trips other than some minor thefts and the persistant request for "tips".
