hey 7 rem, are you set on metal ? greg, from treebark cameras sells a great case, but it is a tough plastic and very heavy to boot. 61a has one and i still want to pick one up before this fall. shoot him a pm and he can hook you up. take care, rob

Full length alum or SS is not going to be cheap thats for sure. I've got a Kalispel Double bow case (they make gun case too). It can handle 2 bows plus a couple dozen arows plus all the tools and accessories for an adventure such as yours. I've it used to to carry one bow and one rifle as well.... Airline proof....I know what you mean lol. I don't have any regrets on the Kalispel. Link to a review and to the Kalispel website.

considering that we have to be on like 5 different flights there and then 5 coming back i do believe that a metal case will be the best choice i am however open to considering alternatives

I think the full size pelican gun case is somewhere around 350 bucks. P and D sells them, as well as Wholesale.

7 REM. I have a double plastic Gun case you can use. It has wheels. Very VERY heavy duty. Lockable in 4 places (perhaps 5). Just sitting here gathering dust waiting for its trip to Africa or Alaska.
Its a shame to buy one if this is going to be your only hunt. Spend the $$ on the hunt
