Shooting mat, gun case

[ArmyJerry]

Getting old, looking for a dual purpose mat / case to start shooting prone again, yes I am old and becoming a puss, my elbows are worn out and don't need any more scarring, any advice appreciated.

I hate to say it but if you are on a small budget an dont plan on getting super rough with it, go with a NcStar shooting mat/case for about $70. I have one that I have used for a couple years now and it is holding up great. With that said, some of the little more expensive ones will be made in the USA and will have better padding on them.

Galati International: Deluxe Shooters Mat - Olive Drab - Galati Gear

What I have generally found is that when you try to make one piece of gear do two separate tasks, it does neither well.

I use a shooting mat and have a separate rifle case or I carry the rifle in an Eberlestock pack.

There are a ton of options for shooting mats some cheap, some good. Some are very good. I have used cheap and I have used very good. Giving us an idea of what you consider an acceptable cost would help up better advise you.

Ive put my erbelstock shooting mat through the wringer, durable and still comfortable

BLACKHAWK! Stalker Drag Mat - BLACKHAWK!

I have this one and I am very happy with it. I wish it was a little longer but that is the trade off with a mat/case combo.

You have never used my mat

I second the galati mat. Very Cush. Very organized and very well thought out

I also like the Galati, it was one of the few case/mats that would handle my 48" long Sako. It may be a little too soft but it does insulate you from the ground.

I give the Galati a thumbs up as well, sold the Blackhawk for a profit and got the Galati. It's made well, a bit softer than the BH but I like the way it holds your gun in.

Hasgun Willtravel, are you taking civilian orders?

I got the Midway Pro shooting mat and that thing is very nice, The shooting mats that double as a bag just dont do the job as well IMO.
