I'm going Caribou hunting in September and just got my info package from the outfitter (I booked back in Jan/Feb) with all the flight info, dates, forms,..etc....
They state 'Aluminum, Heavy Metal, or Wood Gun Cases are NOT AUTHORIZED'. I bought an Americase double rifle case that weighs 22 lbs, no more than 35 with the rifle, binos, and other delicate stuff I'll put inside. That leaves me 40lbs for my duffle to get in under the 75 lbs maximum combined weight limit.
They show a pic of a $20 plastic case as what they want you to use, I have $2k invested in a rifle and scope, NO WAY is that happening.
Anyone else seen this? Would you put your rifle in such a case and let it go thru 2 aircraft on the way up and then on the way back 2 aircraft.
