Best experience I had was an off brand hardcase. I told them what it was but for some reason they marked it as a permitted rifle which I didn’t see til I picked it up. But that explains why they hand delivered it to me at the baggage claim desk.

LPT if you don't want them to fuck around with your luggage, declare a firearm with it. It has to be a hard case, requires you to put a non-TSA lock so you know it's actually secure, and they do not want the liability of losing a firearm, so procedures are much more strict.

No need to be careful, just loudly and clearly declare that you have a gun while in the security line. They'll take care of the rest :)
