I'm going to be hunting in South Africa and Scandinavia this year, so I'm going to be flying with rifles for the first time. What do the forum's frequent flyers recommend as the best baggage handler-proof case for their precious rifles and scopes? I've been using a budget hard case from my local RFD for a while in the UK but wouldn't trust it to stand up being slung on and off luggage conveyors.
I've been looking at the Peli Cases (the 1720 is the best fit) but they are really heavy - although look to be indestructible. Mike Norris recommended the Starlight cases but I can't seem to find a UK supplier or price. Also, what kind of foam is best - the usual 'eggbox' type of the high density stuff with individual cut outs for your kit (although at £150 for bespoke cutting, it's going to be a DIY job!)
Any thoughts? Any favoured suppliers?
Thanks,
Adam.
