I am in the states now and would like to use the opportunity to get a long rifle case
It will be used to carry my SAKO TRG-42 in CADEX Strike eagle, or a shotgun,pistol, AR-15 combination with extra equipment.
I saw the following options from brownells/Bass pro/midway.
It looks like they are almost identical, and prefer coyote or desert tan.
I would like to have some input or reconandations based on your thoughts and experience.

Brownells:


Midway:


Bass-pro:


Thank you!

Out of those three choices I would pick the company with the best warranty. Have you considered a hard case? I am not a fan of soft gun cases for anything other than placing gently on the back seat. I've been using a SKB double rifle case for 30 years. It has been all over the country, in pickups, on roof racks, airport baggage jockeys. It could fall out of the back of a truck and protect the contents of the case. Just something else to consider.

These are a little bit more, but well worth it. I have one, and need to order another.

Thanks!
I have a Pelican 1720 but some times I just feel that's an overkill for range trips, I am looking for something lighter and more manuverubale for short range trips

I ended up with the Voodoo drag bag -


I really like it. The front left pocket holds my Wiebad Mini Fortune Cookie & also my Precision Underground Rear Bag. Has 2 rifle compartments, and 2 padded pistol holders inside the rifle compartments.

Decent choice. I was going to go with a voodoo but the midway was on sale and I had a "birthday" discount so it was like 70 shipped for their drag bag.

Not sure of the oal of your bolt gun but I use a safariland 3 gun bag. Its shorter than the others but has a little piece that pokes out to fit a long shotgun. I could fit a 12 round Beretta 1301 or Browning A5.
 
The rifle is approximately 52", so the voodoo will not work, but I am considering the Armageddon gear, it really looks nice even at twice the price.
Thanks for all the great input!!
 
Decide to go with the Brownells case, just because I have always been happy with the quality if the service and products, they only had them in black so I will not be tactical enough but life is tough sometimes.
I needed some help with the shipping and as always they went beyond and above to help.
As soon as I'll start using the case I'll post a review.
Thanks for all the info shared.
 
Don't waist your time with crap......I've had a number of 3-Gun bags and the cheap solutions end up damaging expensive gear.
Here's a no-compromise bag that's big enough for your bolt gun. As mentioned, it'll also fit in a Pelican 1750.

It definitely can't get any better, I will put it in my future purchases plan
 
if that fit's you for 3 gun i do not know . I love my sert case so far have had 2 ar rifles both with scopes and two pistol in so far no idea if i could squeeze 2 bolt actions in , do not see why not just remove the bolts and store in the other compartments.
