I have had no issues with Pelican latches. My case alos has locking provisions at each end, so even it the latches were an issue the whole of the case would remain tightly closed.

Showbart,

The biggest propblems with traveling for safaris are bag weight limitations and number limitations.

Packing two rifles into one case works well and the case should be under the large bag weight limit. As you point out, if the case goes missing you are without your rifles. Packing a rifle each in two cases means that you will be over the two checked bag limit Plus humping a duffel, two rifle cases and a carry on through the airports would be a PITA.

If you travel with a buddy, he can take one of your and you can take one of his.
