    It seems like most so called Drag Bags have room for two rifles and space for so much stuff that it looses its drag-ability. Does anyone make a Drag Bag designed to hold one rifle and slide across the ground with a minimum of noise?

    Thought Triad Tactical has a pretty simple Drag Bag style bag without a lot of features other than holding and securing a rifle. It has the pointy snout for pulling.

    Might need to add some skid pad but would probably work as is.

    Triad is good stuff - made in USA.

    I have a Tac Ops, its a heavy bag and it has the exterior pockets you probably dismiss. Got to be more than 5 pounds empty.

    I understand your problem.

    Triads bag. Maybe build a nose cone for it if you really intend to drag it....

    I have the Tactical Tailor drag bag. I can't vouch for how it drags, but I can say its a nice bag that is designed for one rifle. It also has three external pockets for miscellaneous gear. It's well built.
     
    Most drag bags are used by plebs to get the rifle out of their truck onto the bench at the local range.

    Also, most have entirely too much shit hanging off of them and way too much built in pouches and shit.

    Get a scope/muzzle cover and put your rifle in an Eberelstock stand alone scabbard and adjust it to the gun. Put some pack straps on it to hump it on your back. Tie 550 cord to a D ring that you then tie a 15-20 foot spool of 550 cord to and attach it to the loop on the bottom of the bag where the reinforced material is. Wrap up excess 550 cord onto the D ring and attach D ring to drag bag. This can be worn on the back, dropped and dragged if needed by unraveling the stowed 550 cord and clipping the D ring to your belt or whatever.

    Scale it with a small molle ruck if needed.

    I use one of these when in the woods moving or hiking and not expecting to need the rifle "right now".

    Its got some minimal padding at the scope area and you use your sling for carry but Id imagine for the minimal amount of "dragging" anyone does it would work fine and also serves as a nice dust shield when you are on the firing line.
     
    The video review looks like the Triad bag is the best I've seen. The only improvement that I see is if it had a few webbed straps sewn onto the back side, lengthwise, to give a little extra abrasion resistance, and quiet the drag on the ground.
     
    In over twenty years of field operations, I have seldom found the need for a drag bag. I have used several, but they usually get left behind when business takes me into Indian country. Of the ones I've used or seen, many are good carrying cases, but the only one I thought was a good bag for dragging was the Stalker drag mat by Blackhawk. I think Galatti may have made a version of it as well. It is very simple in design. It doesn't have any pockets or pack straps on the outside to get hung up in the bush, though it has D-rings, so you can add some straps if you want. It has very little storage inside. In fact, for some of the bulkier chassis rifles, its a tight fit.

    However, it is made of 1000 denier Cordura, and closed cell foam, so it protects the rifle pretty well and folds out flat to make a decent shooting mat. It has webbing sewn on the bottom for abrasion resistance, and a thumb loop that you could use to attach a drag strap, or drag it by hand. the current version has loops sewn on the top side for attaching jute or burlap, but I preferred my older version that had paracord netting covering the top side.
