[QUOTE="the blur, post: 1717489, member: 79296"] Not one case is the proper dimensions for a hunting rifle with a nice scope. I tried them all. Either the case is too short, and the butt of the rifle is against the case, or the scope is too close to the case... too close for comfort. I finally settled on the SKB case, but again, it's too heavy. Not needed for air travel, no matter what anyone thinks. Who needs a mil spec 25lb case !! [B]The Barska AX-400 is a lightweight case. Perfect perfect dimensions. I used it on several flights, no problems. [/B] Foam is another story: every case I brought, I didn't like the foam. I brought high density foam in sheets, and cut my own foam. Problem solved. The rifle stays put. Scopes are made to handle recoil, they can certainly handle being thrown around in a rifle case. Never once did I have a scope lose zero on a flight. [/QUOTE]
