Just wanted to get y'alls opinion. I have a Plano Protector Series Gun case, has 3 holes for locks on it.
Is this sturdy enough to fly with? Thanks in advance !

Scoped rifle? No

Plano All Weather Case, AW2 52 inch Rifle/Shotgun Case, Black, 52 inch Gun case https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B7ZB484/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_vXcaDbFM10W2H

I have flown with this case to Colorado twice and Alaska (Kodiak) once. Its done more than hold its own and is half the price of a pelican. If you don't buy a pelican, at least buy this.

Where are you located and when do you need it? I borrowed a bow case from a friend... might be able
To find someone on here or FB willing to loan you one.

I'd look for something a little sturdier like a Pelican or SKB. My Pelican that I've flown with has some pretty big gouges from something in the loading process and I'm not convinced the handlers don't look at gun cases like a challenge of some sort.

I have a SKB and it's solid. I'm planning a safari and will taking an Americase Two Gun Safari case if that helps.

Pelican, Pelican, Pelican.

I have flown 4 times with one or two scoped rifles, and none of them ever moved more than .5 MOA as a result of the transport.

They are expensive, but worth it.

I can tell you from experience it's pure apathy. They couldn't care less about any bag.
