What kind of bag (to those who take one) are you using to take to gun range?

Ive been thinking about buying a new bag. Currently using an old jobs school backpack that needs replacing.

Anyone use a UTG bag? I would like one to match my rifle soft cases (have one thats black, and army digital)

Curious what kind of bags everyone uses.
 
I bought and use an iShot range bag. If I had to purchase one now, I'd check the heavy duty (many pockets) bags at Home Depot, LOWES or Sears. The costs are far less and they will serve your gun stuff well.
 
I have several range bags that I use... depending on whether I'm going to an outdoor range or an indoor range. I have two rifle bags (one single and one double), two pistol bags (one soft side and one briefcase), several ammo cans, and a Lowes bucket bag that I use to carry ammo and magazines. I also have a couple of those Maxpedition murses :rolleyes: that I'll use if I want to pack in somewhat more discretely...
 
For the money, the Midway USA range bag is nice. They run a sale on them several times a year. I got mine on sale and used coupon codes. I think it shipped to my place for $30.

MidwayUSA Competition Range Bag
It's the same as the 5:11 tactical bag that costs three times as much, but it doesn't say "tactical" on it.

The zippers are quality and the material is thick and won't rip or tear with normal use. It doubles as a nice rifle rest for AR type firearms. You just leave it unzipped and drop the mag inside the bag. It comes in three colors. Black, tan, and green.
 
Depends on how many guns you take and what you do at the range. Whatever you buy dont buy junk to save a few dollars.
 
I have this bag as well as other cases from this company.

ACTION PLUS SUPREME BAG

They cost more than some, but are made to order and you can pick the color. They also allowed me to change the configuration
of the bag to suit my needs. I was able to add some velcro pouches and change the size of the magazine holders.

Also made in the U.S.A.

Another vote for the Midway Bag I have 1 & it has Tons of Room & seems to be decent quality at a good price.
 
Only firearm I have is my 15-22. Soon to be a M&P 15 in Feb. So what I usually pack in my backpack is earmuffs,targets,cleaning kit,staple gun and other misc items. So I'm guessing a large bag would be to much for my items. Everything seems to pack into my backpack ok, just need it a littler big larger but not 2 much..I'm a complicated individual lol

I was pretty skeptical about the Midway large range bag because of what I thought was a low price. It concerned me that the quality wouldn't be that good. However after buying one, I can't imagine being without it--it's just super in my opinion.
 
I was looking at the Cabela's digital camo range bag
 
Another vote for the Midway bags--I've got both the large one and the compact one, use the smaller one as my weekly sporterifle bag, the large one is great for pistols, plenty of room for binocs or a scope inside. The large one is almost too big and can get pretty heavy with a lot of ammo. But terrific quality, and right now looks like both are on sale--they are a true bargain at the sale price. For $35 you can't beat this:

MidwayUSA Compact Competition Range Bag
 
I actually use a field medic kit as my range bag. Holds 2 bulk Blazer boxes, eyes and ears, and even a couple of mags no problem. Matches my the rest of my ACU stuff and only $10 at the local army/navy.
 
Range Bag

I own both of the Midway bags and they seem to be bombproof.

I'm toting an old Dell laptop bag, holds two revolvers, ears and eyes, cleaning cloths and couple boxes of ammo. I ripped the guts out of the bag to make more room and it works real well. Looks good too.

If your only firearm is your 15-22 I would get you a nice soft case for your rifle that has outer pockets on it. I have a condor and a gamewinners soft case and in 1 bag I can carry everything I need for the range with room to spare.
 
My case has 5 pockets. I can double stack the mags in if I wanted to, but I only put 1/pocket (since I only have 5 :( )..not big enough for my other goodies lol
 
im using a old original Playstation case that worksout really well, Its Black Leather with carrying handles and a shoulder strap! I will have to take pics of it. Holds my gloves, Up too 8 25rd mags, I have a box of 325 rds of CCI Mini-Mags! Bore Snake with some CLP Spray and another pouch to hold ear plugs and tools!!!
 
I prefer to carry firearm and magazines in one case and everything else in a Cabela's dry box. This applies to all my firearms, long and short.
 
I recently purchased a "Magnum Range Bag" off the S&W site. It wasn't
cheap but appears to be well made. The zippers aren't balky like they are on a lot of cheaper bags & it holds all that I need it to: 2 semi's, 4 magazines each, generally 200 rounds, eyes, ears & ball cap. It has a few
side pockets for the few tools that I carry. Its a good looking bag, black
with a prominent S&W logo. All in all, I'm happy with it.
 
My Range bag which is a old original Playstation carrying bag. Plenty of room, I will hold 2 boxes of 325rds CCI Min-Mags and 8 25rd mags. I have my ear pieces in little green box, Gloves on the side, another pocket hold CLP with Boresnake which I don't need to care with me, Binoculars in another pocket and still have the big pocket empty. Didn't show any tools cuz I had them on desk, Alan wrench, Screw Driver, basic stuff. Worked out good, Had it in attic for 15 years or so and never used it, LOL!

Mine has tons of pockets for mags and handguns. Also great to sit on too. Cabela's has Ice fishing buckets that are a bit taller and come with a lid to sit on. Works great year round if you ice fish too.

My bag has to match my outfit...
 
I have bags I bought at gun shows, Walmart in the auto section, Sears in the tool department.

What I grab depends on how much stuff I'm taking.

No reason to spend big bucks on a bag to carry stuff from your car to the bench at a range!

Have fun............
