Range Bag

[calmex]

The Midway bag is just excellent. I ride a motorcycle and have to drive through this rock-strewn town with my range-bag packed full of guns and ammo tottering on the back so I can get to my buddies place and transfer everything to the back of his Mitsubishi Stealth so we can motor over to the Queretaro range in style.

The Midway bad holds up to the weight, being thrown around, and holds all the stuff I need to the point I can barely lift it. Most of the guys down here have a black one, and I got the green one. I just love it. Well worth the price. Get the bigger one.

Also, the Midway double-rifle case is a heck of a deal at around 45.00 bucks right now. It carries my '94 Winchester (made in 1913) and my Lee Enfield No. 1 Mk III* side-by-side without letting them scrape each other.

These items are half the price of anything comparable. I highly recommend them.

I wrote this in the morning, today. Then I hefted my heavy Midway Range Bag off my desk and waddled out to my motorcycle. I had all my gun gear inside it (complete cleaning kit, shooting timer, hearing protection, 2 different screwdriver sets, staple gun and staples, speedloader holders for K-frame and N-frame and 5 speedloaders in each size, 8 magazines for the 1911, 8 magazines for the Glock, 5 magazines for my 3904, a box of moonclips for my Tk-Custom clipped K-38, and a big wad of paperwork which you need to transport weaponry here in Mexico) along with my Glock, my 3904 and my K-38 and 100 rounds of ammo for each -- which makes the darned bag very heavy -- and rode through San Miguel balancing the whole act behind me on the seat with the shoulder-strap keeping everything from falling.

I need the big range bag because I only get out shooting about once a week and I want to be able to take lots of stuff when I go. It was a warm day down here -- mid-to-high 80's F -- and when I got to my friend's house we loaded our range bags into his high-performance Stealth and zoomed over to Queretaro for a nice day on the range. Just got back into my office a few minutes ago.

Get the Midway bag. Get the big one. You will find it easy to fill up with "necessitites". I wish I could take less stuff with me when I go shooting, but like my wife's purse just seems to keep growing in size, my range bag requirements keep being added to as well.

It was a great day to go shoot the P.P.C., although I only did a mediocre 556/600. The sun was in my eyes.

Blessings and greetings my guns loving friends. I have a question that i have been unable to find discussed in the threads anywhere. In your opinions, what are the best range bags out there? I am looking for value, not necessarily cheapest priced, but best "bang for my buck" (pun intended).

Jesus is Lord!

Join the NRA, they will gift you with a black or digi camo range bag for joining. it's a nice start.

Several years ago S&W was offering a black range bag with the S&W logo on the side pocket. I have several of them; they seem to work fine.

I have one that I use as my "lunch bag" to work. It's nice because the coffee thermos fits in the end; the cold stuff in the middle; room for papers/notebook and the small pockets for necessary first aid type items.

Before anyone asks, no I don't have people freaking out over a range bag. I work for DoD in a very secure facility. The guards know me and know what is inside the bag. My co-workers don't even give it a second thought. Of course if I worked in DC, I would probably get put on the ground before I cleared the parking lot. That's why I don't work in DC.
