Flying united with rifles?

I don't see where the oversize doesn't apply there.

Firearms are included as part of your regular checked bags allowance just as skis are. “ Firearms carried in addition to the free baggage allowance will be assessed at the current excess baggage charge”

Sporting goods items such as fishing rods that may incur oversized luggage charges are specifically spelled out as having specific size limits.

If for some reason a firearm case would be declared oversize, the United oversize limit is 115 inches total which is determined by measuring length+width+height. So you could have a 62 inch long rifle case as long as the width plus the height doesn’t break the 115 inch rule.

The sporting goods items that may be subjet to oversized baggage fees list that they may be subject to over sized baggage fees right in the guidelines for those specific items. The fact that the possibilty that a firearm may be subject to oversized baggage fees is not specified under the firearms section you can deduce that they are not subject to that fee. The verbiage in the firearms section only states that you may be charged for additional bag fees if you are over your free checked bag total that is allowed for your purchased ticket.

The specific over sized baggage rules list the total length formula that determines an over sized item.
