What range bag are you guys using?

[TN_Raven]

I’ve been using a Carhartt 16” heavy duty tool bag that my company gave out as Christmas gifts this past year. Works great for my needs. I have a separate Bulldog rifle case for carrying the M14, and a small pistol rug for the Beretta that fits in the tool bag.

Still lots of room and pockets inside and out for eyes, ears, mags, etc.

Go to eBay and search for TIMBUK2 messenger bags.  They are hipster bags and are extremely well made and extremely cheap if ya watch.  I use em for everything. 

The " hipsters " are evidently suckers for " the next new thing ", and the bags seem to wind up slightly used to unused in consignment shops. 

They are made of cordura and will hold more than ya can carry.  Look for the " used " bags.

That said, if ya like a " traditional " bag, ya can't beat Savior Equipment for the price ...

This thread has some age on it but adding some thoughts.  I have a 15 year old midway bag like posted above and it has help up well. A few backpacks if needed.  I moved on to a heavy duty tool organizer from about five years ago.  If it is in plain sight and looks like a firearm case because branding,  LEO can secure it.  There are fancy phrases and a few court cases about this. Lots of other good options in the tool department without declaring what is typically on the inside from the outside. This is nothing against LEOs, just not the best practice to travel with unless out of sight. My range items are in the trunk, but still tote in a tool bag.

Recently purchased a Savior Specialist. It is the best bag I have ever owned. It was not cheap, but believe it will be around long after I am gone.

These are also available on Amazon for about $15 less.

I have the Savior 2 rifle bag in 42 and the pistol carrier with the zipper packs for pistols which I absolutely love!

I have one of those G.P.S. Tall Range Backpacks the wife got me about 8 years ago or so. It's worked out very well so far.

For rifles, just a cheap Gander Mountain hard case.

I may be the odd ball here, but I stopped carrying a range bag nearly 30 years ago. I’ve adopted an evolving “range box” system over the years that keeps everything well organized and quasi weather proof.

Depending my range objective for that day, dialing in rifle, handgun, indoors, outdoors or teaching gun classes; I can tailor the box system to fit the needs for the day. My go to box style right now is either the Craftsman or Stanley rolling chest. I’ve used both; but the craftsman is slightly larger. I’m starting to play with the Dewalt rolling Tough system; it shows real promise if I want to streamline things a bit.

I went this direction when my boys were much younger, it allowed me to pack everything in one place, strap the rifles to the box, leaving me one free hand to “herd the cats” so to speak

 

 

 

The idea, was conceived many years ago when I started shooting high power matches(before kids) to qualify for purchasing a CMP Garand back in the day. It’s been evolving ever since. Hope someone finds this helpful!

Best Regards
