I believe that 45 pounds per piece is the standard weight limit for baggage. You can probably check a heavier piece, but it will cost you.

I have travelled with my Browning Travel Vault, a Pelican double long gun case with the Browning logo on it. Outside dimensions are 52"L X 16"H X 6"D.

Whenever I've travelled with firearms, I always put the case up on the hatchway where the luggage gets passed through and tell them that I've got unloaded firearms to show them. Give them a minute to process this bizarre and dangerous fact, then open your case. I always try to keep the weapons down low and out of general sight so as not to cause alarm to the herd of sheep in the terminal. Good luck.

Call ahead to the airline your using.Wether its really changed or not it will be diffrent since 9/11.I knew all the rules before but what goes now I havn't a clue.NYC was always a problem.70lbs per bag is the limit.
