This the second attempt to get a case with keys. Success! This case is incredibly secure and TSA will have NO issues with it if you travel via air. If your rifle is 38.5" with a scope it should fit easily into this case. Always measure your rifle and take into account the inside dimensions of the case.
The nice thing about this case is that it has two layers of foam. The top egg shell foam is glued to the top, which is not *the case with some gun cases. The bottom of the case has two layers of foam - one for the bottom and the upper is the foam that you cut to fit the rifle. This makes it easi-er to get a good tight fit and better protection for the rifle and scope. (* if you have a case with foam slipping around, use Gorilla tape and Gorilla glue to hold in place. Put books on top of foam for 4 hours. It will be permanently glued to the case sides.)
This case as wonderful locks. The description says nothing about locks and keys. The hasp locks hold the case very tightly making it impossible to get even a screw driver between the two halves. Add two small TSA locks in the provided holes and you have four locks. I have two extra TSA looks that make getting into it near impossible. You can never be too secure for TSA. The keys can create a hassle if TSA wants to get in since you will have those in your pocket. If you have a rifle that is NOT semi-auto with a simple magazine, TSA will leave you alone completely in most situation if another lock goes through the magazine well of receiver. You can't be too save with TSA.
No loose ammo in the case. No liquids. Never assume that TSA will not notice something. They are rewarded for catching problems. If you have doubts about something, CALL your airlines and TSA.
Wonderful case and I'm thrilled that Amazon took back the first one that did not have keys.
One last thing. This World Traveler always puts his cases in a duffel bag. I never advertise I am carrying a fire arm. Amazon carries some really nice duffel bags that will fit almost anything. A 50" duffel (also from Amazon) handles this case nicely.
Remember to always declare your firearm at check in. Always, always. always.
