I was booking my firearm and ammo with Lufthansa yesterday for a driven boar trip to Germany this weekend. Now I’ve done it plenty of times and usually do a bit of navel gazing as the questions and terms are repeated to me.
However ! Several times the person at the other end ( who had stopped calling my rifle a weapon on my insistence) mentioned the dreaded 158cm OAL dimensions.
I have become a minimalist traveller. Carry on backpack and a case for rifle and nonessentials. I take the action out of the stock. Also of course the ammo box, although if possible I would purchase ammunition locally on arrival.
Currently I am using a Peli case (IM3100) which is, ahem, a few centimetres longer overall.
My questions to the hive are. Has anyone actually been called up on that ? Secondly has anyone found a suitable case that slides in at as close to 158cms OAL as possible ?
 
I think the Pelican 1700 should get you there.

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark

Hello, I have giraffe leg bones similarly carved as well as elephant tusks which came out of the Congo in the mid-sixties
