We sell aluminum cases, not cheap, but really high quality, made of .080 thick aluminum with full length hinge and strong latches.  We have get them in either 62" x 12" or 64" x 13".

  remember it has to be a airline approed case. you get one of them little thin ones for your long  gun and will find out gun and case both broke.voice of experince.  we even had the airlines break a pelican vualt case, we watched them throw our gun cases out of plane onto concrete landing filed to so called unload them.get the best case you can and then insure it and gun heavily

Our airline approved cases are 62"x12"x4.5" or 64"x13"x5.5".  They come with a bronze powder coat finish over the aluminum, four lockable latches and a very sturdy carrying handle.  There is a rubber seal around the two halves and a foam interior that holds the gun(s) very securely.  We sell the smaller case for $310 ($70 below the suggested retail price) and the larger case for $370 ($80 below retail).  Shipping depends on your location.  We keep at least one of each on hand and can get more within a few days.
