Neoprene scope cover then wrapped in a shemaugh or shirt in my carry one. Any piece of clothing that can protect it will work. The neoprene scope cover just protects the lenses from additional dust, lint, or small debris.
They do when the security screening staff advise them of an issue/possible issue. I’ve also seen instances where passengers have told airline employees when answering security questions during the check in process.
That's my point. The ticketing agent would never have known unless the TSA agent told them.
X-rays…..all cabin baggage is screened. I spent a number of years working at an International Airport. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve had to attend jobs involving firearm accessories and or spent cases/ projectiles being detected in carry on luggage.
Which pelican case do you use? Do you use a custom foam liner insert or the stock ones? Scopes in the case or in your carryon?
I use the Protector 2 rifle case. The Vault is good as well but I have not warmed up to it yet. I use a variety of smaller Pelican cases for my ammo box. I like my trusty old Protector 2 rifle That has literally been around the world with me. I take out the middle foam so that the rifles will fit in soft cases. My setup is usually 2 rifles and a small gear bag. My scopes have covers on them and are in the aforementioned soft rifle case. Knock on wood, I've never had any damage.
It is the only system that ever truly worked for me.
Does the Blaser R8 Negrini case fit inside a Pelican 1700?On some trips I use the Blaser case…. But when I do it travels inside a suitcase.
I picked up an old leather coat at Salvation Army store and cut material from it to make bags with drawstrings for each of my two scopes. My late wife's sewing machine did a good job ... once I taught myself how to use it.
I use Pelican Vault. Haven't cut the foam but I could. Those come with several layers of foam. I removed one thin layer and the lid closes firmly on two guns. But not firmly enough as it turns out. Last trip both guns had buttstocks marred by muzzles of adjacent rifle. Not a big deal as I was able to easily clean them up at home later (advantage of oil stock finish). I could cut the foam but then only those two guns can be used. Instead I have slip-on recoil pads that I put on the rifles when they're in the case. They protect the buttstocks.
Yes. Mine will. I can take the foam out and it will fit, no problem.
