Unless you break it down it will always pretty much going to look like a rifle. Koplin ATV case wouldn't be my first choice as they don't hold the gun all that tight. I would buy one of the single gun hard cases, about $20 on sale at BP or Cabelas or use the factory box, wrap the gun in newspaper or better yet the small bubble wrap and wrap the box in brown paper. When you mail the gun you legally must specify signature required at the other end, even for a rifle. You don't have to insure it but I insure all of mine cause I think they are more careful with those. Make sure you have the serial number recorded before you ship it so if it disappears en route you can report it properly. (Never had one get lost or damaged and I have shipped a great many by Canada Post)
