Discrete Drag bags

[Acp]

Anybody have a drag bag they’ve found that will hold a rifle with 24”-30” barrel and doesn’t scream “tactical” or “gun in here”? Not opposed to retrofitting/repurposing other items but would prefer to save the stitching if there’s a well enough solution commercially available

Thanks

I can’t think of anything discrete about a 30” barrel

Knew it was coming! The general idea is to have folks onlooking as I offload the truck not hone in on what I’m offloading

This looks like a winner

I get what you’re getting at, but the words ‘drag bag’ and ‘discreet’ seem mutually exclusive to me. So I’ll give you credit for a good slow troll and give my vote to the roller bag posted by @6.5SH above. Doesn’t look like a drag bag, thus discreet by being ostentatious but misleading.

Just get a black one, hang a guitar tag on it.

Roll it up in your comforter?

Fair enough, perhaps drag bag wasn’t the best description, rather rifle soft case or something along those lines

A 30" barrel isn't gonna fit in much without having a folder... I use an Armageddon Gear M2010 case (I know, not a "drag bag") for my 29.5" long .300NM (that has a folder, mind you) and nothing about it really screams "rifle case" despite it being FDE.

Travel ski bag with rollers, golf ski bag with rollers.

A fairly plain black one with misleading branding may do the trick as well, like this idea

Also wouldn’t have thought of the ski route, could possibly check out wakeboard bags as well, thanks for the concept

Roll it up in your comforter?

At which point I’d probably be told I could keep said comforter and sleep in my truck with it and my rifle!

If you need discrete you need a better neighborhood.

Tarp rolled inside a rug…nothing to see here. Move along.

A nice Cello case.

 

[Rover31]

As was said above
I use a snowboard bag with towels in the situation. Golf bag is good also

Too short for a full sized rifle w/40” barrel. Here’s the drag bag he’s looking for:



For when you are throwing a little fete at the range, with horsey-duvers and a 4-pc. String quartet.

Get a double bass case if cello is too small.

3/4 string bass should be big enough. Looks like a drag bag too.

I’ll go ahead and say it, baby grand cover too

I want everyone to see.

Soft sided travel golf bag with rain cover. No one thinks twice when they see a golf bag unless it is snowing out. Ski bag grabs attention if not winter/snowing. Other options, especially something people do not readily recognize, mey get more attention than a gun bag, especially by thiefs.

If you're rocking a 30" barrel, you just gotta own it...

If you are in northern climes… a snowboard bag works great. Ski bag, too.

An interesting FYI for all the guitar case fanatics. I know of two guitars stolen from baggage and no rifles. Totally non-scientific and objective, but true, nonetheless.

Got my 300 BO SBR in a violin case I bought at a music store and converted. Can walk around anywhere and never get a second look.

Rolling golf bag covers, the kind that go over golf bags. A newer one made for long drivers will hold 2 26" barreled rifles in soft cases. Wheel it in anywhere without a second glance. I have this from a good source.
