Questions & Answers
Is this case approved for airline travel? Expert Answer

Yes, the TSA only requires that it be a hard case locked with TSA-Approved locks so as long as you use the correct locks, this is TSA approved.

Will this case accommodate a Tavor x95 with an Aimpoint Comp 4 scope? Expert Answer

Yes, the Pelican 1720 Watertight Protector Rifle / Gun Case will fit a Tavor X95 with an Aimpoint Comp 4. It may be close but as long as you don't store the gun with the magazine inserted you should be fine.

Helpful Positive Review Pelican 1720 Watertight Gun Case by DaleW, Verified Owner, January 18, 2016
