Reasonably priced rifle case, shooting mat?

[Swampcrawler65]

Work is keeping me from actually shooting, so I’m just working on ordering the stuff I think I need.

Once the bipod gets delivered and mounted, my Bergara is no longer going to fit in the hunting rifle case I’ve been stuffing it into.

Also, once the bipod shows, I’ll start going prone and learning that. I’ve only really been shooting from a bench.

Anyway. I searched but didn’t come up with much. What do you guys recommend without going crazy on the spending? Say 200 for both?

Are the combo drag bag/shooting mats recommended or should a guy get separate items? Looking forward to your thoughts.

Check out the Armageddon Gear M2010 case. It comes with a mat and a bunch of other pouches and stuff. It also fits perfectly inside a Pelican Hard case for air travel. You won’t find better built or designed stuff.

You looking for a hard or soft case? How long is the rifle?

Midway has a few different mats that are nice and well priced. I have the Pro series and I really like it.

For a soft case I went with a ncstar drag bag for $55. Definitely not eberlestock but decent for the price. Definitely protects it on the ride to and from the range.

What David said. $69. Mine has lasted me two years of pretty regular use, and is now needing to be replaced. At $69 I can live with that....

This one will fit a 24" barreled rifle with brake.

Armageddon gear and TAB are nice!!

Armageddon is great! He did say reasonably priced. Kind of lets them out

Check out galati. They make a nice mat/case combo. I have one and it's held up nicely. The standard size fits in my storm case. I'm tall so I bought the longer version. Well made and lots of padding. The only complaint I have is the two leatherish squares on either side if the mat. They heat up like crazy if the mat is in the sun. I have been thinking about just carefully removing them.

I have a friend with a Galati drag bag/mat combo. It's really nice. I'm not sure of pricing, but it's not one of the most expensive ones out there, so it might fit your requirement of "reasonably priced". Build quality seemed really good and it's quite comfortable to shoot from. Lots of padding and storage.

Thanks guys. Rifle is 44 inches over all.

I have and recommend the NCstar shooting mat/case combo on amazon for about $50 i've had mine about a year and a half now and use it often. it is both a good case and shooting mat. Its seen multiple matches, crappy weather, mud, and my less than gentle use of the zippers and is still kicking.

Since reading and posting in this thread I got curious. So I googled a bit and midway is still blowing out the drag bags. You could get one for $50 and I have heard great things about the midway shooting mat. You would be at $110 plus shipping or upgrade to the pro drag bag and be around your $200 mark.

Midway drag bags and shooting mats are very serviceable and represent decent value.

Creedmoor and champion’s choice make some good mats, I believe they are up around $100 or so, but they last forever. You don’t hear about those much around here since high power shooters use them most, but they are good quality. I still have a freeland mat that I’ve had for like..... 25 year’s, and it’s still going!

Midway usually has these type items on sale. I’ve used their mats and cases for years with no complaints

https://www.midwayusa.com/product/939101910/midwayusa-pro-series-competition-shooting-mat $40

Decent. I use them both and have not been disappointed.

I recently got a 42" rifle bag from Propper, it was about $80 and no shipping. Really surprised at how well it is built for the price. Beats the pants off more expensive bags I have seen in stores.

 

[roady9999]

https://www.tacticalassaultgearstore.com/shooter-sniper-rifle-case.html . This is a case and mat. USA made really good quality. 96 dollars

 

[davsco]

yep have midway drag bag and mat and they work fine. wouldn't mind the mat being a foot wider though. just wait for them to go on sale.

 

[Winchester59]

Midway for serviceable stuff & reasonable price, Creedmore for more quality/more money, Eberlestock, Voodoo, Armageddon et.al when you want to upgrade.

 

[Harv24]

Just got a Midway OD drag bag on sale.... for back and forth from the house to the car to the range.. works just fine...

 

[Rexx1029]

Champion choice has great product and great customer service have dealt with them on many transactions from a few dollar to 6 or 7 thousand dollar orders and it’s always the same great customer service

I have been using a Voodoo drag bag for about 7 or 8 years now and have zero complaints. It will hold two rifles and there is a separate pouch for each rifles bolt and an internal sleave for cleaning rod. Has an abundance of molle gear pouches on outside, a single strap carry sling that is removable and very well made back pack shoulder straps that can be stowed within the bag when not in use. Cant remember what I paid for it but it has been a great case.
