for 20 bucks or so its washable easy to keep , and it folds and rolls into an easy to carry non bulky almost no space needed package .

Great info in this thread. I just picked up the Crosstac Arid MC Recon and the Coyote Precision mat at Midway, both on sale and were total $250 with free shipping.
Be a fucking baller and get you a roll of fake turf. Cheap, comfortable, insulated and bad ass.
If it's not for hunting and for a range use only and you want it to double up as a carry bag then a Vism/NC Star is the way to go.
Rarely I'll say this but they are cheap but very cheerful! They're thickly padded, have loads of storage and are big. I think they're also about 70 bucks from Amazon which is awesome value considering how well made they are. I looked at quite a few brands and after some research I went with this model, although I did have my doubts because of the price but I honestly can't fault it.
I‘m still using my older US Peacekeeper mat. Has held up great over several years. Lifetime warranty and a little over an hour away if I have issues. Hopefully they stay in business as so many others are having difficulties these days.

Definitely not a cheap option, however it's made with USA imported materials, by SORD Australia who have been making equipment since 2004 and will never die... It folds down small, lays out easily, has coverage in the required areas, foam lined in critical areas to protect the shooter from rocks and cold, bipod loading strap if you're into that, removable dope card holder, zippered storage, etc...
It has been designed by serious shooters who focus on making GOOD gear, not china spec cheap shit that takes up half a car boot and comes apart after two trips into the hills. There are a lot of excellent option on the market, I built this one as a G2 upgraded version of the original shooting mat that is much sleeker for living in an ALICE framed pack for recon / snipers.
They should be back in stock within the next month, been waiting on A-Tacs IX 1" webbing for months, shortages all over!
Several days of looking and I’m really down to the Crosstac or Cole-TAC. Currently own the Tab Gear mat but am wanting something with built in bipod support. Both do it differently and one rolls and one folds. Curious to whether or not the Cole-TAC straps will work with an Atlas CAL. I imagine they would... Maybe looking to be swayed one way or the other. I doubt either is a bad decision.
tried to find a picture of a overly nice shooting mat with a lazy boy and a pitcher of ice tea on a really nice table to post but could not find it . so I went with this one .
800.00 dollars worth of crap excluding the bed and frame and couch
its free and its everywhere always . sometimes muddy but ain't that 1/2 the fun of it . Good luck finding a mat you like .

For me if it isn’t going to fit in the bag I might as well go all out despite how nice the Midway mats look. The Crosstac has a very superior design for loading of the bipod.Crosstac is great quality, well thought out design, ec... really an example of buy once, cry once.
