Thank you for the replies, gentlemen. Good suggestions for separating the gun case from luggage however, my plan, sort of, is to place the gun case in the purpose built compartment of a large rolling duffel.. I used to use an Orvis bag and Americase that fit it and never had a problem. Can do the same now but would be with the Browning or Emmebi in the bottom of my roller.. Still sketchy, I know.. Hate to leave my best grouse / woodcock gun home but may opt to just borrow a buddy’s O/U and spare the stress.. Jerry
