 Has survived 12,000 airline miles and counting Nov 30, 2009
By tommytwosteps
I was able to fit my Mathews bow, 12 guage shotgun (broken down), .280 ruger, some ammo and arrow quiver in this bad mamojama. Everything arrived safely and securely. There was no damage to the case whatsoever and continues to hold up exceptionally well.

 A marginal bow/rifle combo case Jul 06, 2011
By J. Drzemala
My rating is based upon what I consider is a misadvertised rifle / bow combination case. Though it may serve well as a double bow case, it is ill designed to hold a rifle. First, a rifle with a 22 1/2 inch barrel (like my Tikka Lite) barely fits into the case on a diagonal (corner to corner) with the barrel tip and recoil pad touching the case's thin foam lining. This case wouldn't hold a longer barrel rifle. Second, the case's egg crate foam lining and divider is designed to hold two bows and provides virtually no support for a rifle. When I put a bow and rifle in the case and picked it up, the rifle shifted and moved--a disaster waiting to happen if you check as airline luggage. To fix the problem, I purchased a 2 inch thick piece of high density black foam the size of the case into which I cut an opening for my rifle to fit into so it was secure and wouldn't shift in transit. The high density foam and divider (with a bow in place above) kept the rifle secure. Again, the rifle barrel tip and recoil pad are touching the case's interior foam lining offering little protection if the case is dropped on it's corner. And if you have a longer barrelled rifle (e.g. Weatherby or magnum rifle), I doubt it would fit into this case so you need to check the exact dimensions. Again, this case would work well as a double bow case, but think twice before you use as a bow / rifle combo case. Also, the "TSA approved" locks on the case are marginal as well; cheap plastic that are easy to strip/break if you're not careful inserting the metal key all the way into the slot. Also, "TSA approved" locks are NOT accepted by all airlines for securing rifles/firearms--some airlines require locks for which only the passenger has the keys (check with your airline)--TSA locks locks can be opened with any TSA key. This case is designed for two bows and therefore has no provision (holes, clasp, etc.) for putting on a standard lock. I drilled holes and used two locks with flexible shackles so the case can be locked to meet some airline security regulations for a rifle.

 SKB case hinge Dec 09, 2009
By William Kiger
This is a great case but the airlines damaged the same case this one is replacing. The hinge is a weak spot. A blow on the exterior hinge will spring the case and make it unable to close properly. At least the airline paid for my damaged case to let me buy another one.

 According to Sportmans Guide don't have this size case Oct 21, 2008
By Buffalo Hunter
"bulls-bears-bighorns"
Ordered for recent hunt. When arrived Sportman's Guide sent 2SKB 4010. Customer service said Amazon has an error and they do not carry the SKB 4114A. The 4010 is for a single rifle and will not carry a bow. Sportman's Guide states they don't offer the 2SKB 4114A. Had to purchase cheap case last minute and risk the airlines abuse for the hunt. Very disappointing.
