Another range bag question

[tango6]

I have been looking at bags for a while I would like to use it for my pistol and rifle. I am using a backpack right bow but everything is crammed into it.I am thinking about adding this. I have a spotting scop, a small 1st aid, socks, cleaning solution, bore gujde, wind meter, hearing protection and eye protection for 2, data book,staples,staple gun, black marker. am I missing anything?Everything is in a old camelbak pack. let me know what you think. Got pics of yours?

Re: Another range bag question

Im using the large midway usa competition range bag,I havent had it for long but so far so good and tons of space! Long term durability I cannot account on, but I do know some people who have had them for some time and seem to be holding up well.

Re: Another range bag question

I am partial to the Eagle tactical gear and use the Eagle Pro Shooters range bag to carry my rifle and pistol stuff. The Eagle is built well and can carry a pile of stuff.

The only issue with Eagle is I think they are more focused on big contracts and they are getting harder to find.

Your list of gear is basically what I carry in mine

If you are looking for a multi purpose bag, take a look at these, on the pricey side but IMO well worth it.

Tango,
I have 3 of the Midway bags, 2 large, 1 small, I like them, not totally sure on the durability issue though.
I clicked your link, I bought mine on sale last spring, they were 35 to 40 bucks then, not sure if I would pony up that price for one.

Re: Another range bag question

I have used the 5.11 range ready bag for years. They are a little pricey but it has held up to years of uses and still holding strong. It has some nice features and plenty of storage while not being too bulky. Check it out, you might like it.

I have the Midway small range bag,works great and seems durable, but at 33lbs with 2 hand guns,eyes & ears,mags and some ammo that doesnt even get the rifle goods.Im looking to go the other way to a back pack.

I have Eagles Escape and Evasion bag (Where do they get these names) a co worker gave me gratis. It is a great range bag. Natchez Shooting has them advertized on sale for $70.

Re: Another range bag question

I use the Midway bag, I found out later it was a rip off of an American Made product, when I finally wear it out I'll replace it with something other than a MidwayUSA bag.

Re: Another range bag question

I have an uncle mikes, its a good range bag for hauling more than two guns and ammo. However, when its weighed down it carries like a big ol duffle bag and can be a PITA. I have a Maxpedition MPB and added a couple padded pistol bags to it. So it carries like a briefcase (closer to the body). I love that setup, wont hold as much gear but for 1 or two guns plus ammo and gear it is fantastic.

Re: Another range bag question

I've been running one of these for three years now and I don't think you can beat it for the price: CED Deluxe Pro Range Bag

Better build quality than the Midway which can be so-so IMHO; my CED has held-up very well.

Re: Another range bag question

I found it there, I guess 179 is going to be the cheapest, I can use it as a front rest also it looks pretty big.

Re: Another range bag question

upon my searching I also found these which are less money but look bigger, and can be used when traveling.

Re: Another range bag question

Maybe I am cheap but here is the large version of what have used for the past 3 years. I see that it is back ordered but not for too long. Mine has held up very well. The large one will hold everything you listed plus a few of the pistol cases if need be.

Plus here is a link to a pistol case that I have had for 3 years as well.

Re: Another range bag question

You mentioned wanting to use the bag for pistol AND rifle. I have the Midway bag you linked but I also have a Voodoo Tactical 42" double rifle case. The VooDoo is what I use when carrying multiple rifles, pistols and gear. There are lots of pockets and it seems to be well made. As an added bonus, it has backpack straps for easy carrying.

Re: Another range bag question

I have the Midway bag and am very happy with it. The only problem i have is the zipper pulls are kind of weak and all of mine with the exception of the big one on top have been replaced by paracord braids

Thanks I have my AR in one of those, and some mags in the pockets. I think the Midway bag is largenough for what I need but the the other bags would be good for when I travel. I can empty it out and use it.

Re: Another range bag question

We recently added this Range Bag to our OPMOD line. It's a solid bag with plenty of storage room. The pull out bag has a number of padded dividers in the side pockets, which is great for multiple pistols. The internal dividers are also removable and customizable to better suit your needs.
