Recommendation requested: range bag for gear

[Pahonix]

Any recommendations on a range bag for gear. Seems like most are designed to carry pistols. I need one for hauling around precision rifle gear.....

Spotting scope
Weather meter
Shooting bags
Hearing/eye protection
Lots of tools
Rangefinder

Instead of looking for a range bag, Google police patrol bag.

Harbor Freight tools has some pretty slick hard cases, some with wheels and handles!
I use an older plastic wheeled tool box I got at Home Depot several years ago! I toss a couple of old towels in the bottom and everything is well protected and kept dry when in transit to and from the shooting area!

Have "a bunch" of the simple inserts now. Great for hauling precharged mags in.

Should handle a spotting scope, depends what you have.

I hard case our scope & tripod with one of the rifles for convenience. YMMV.

Look at the Collapsible Wagon on Amazon. Lots of styles and prices. I got a Mac and it works great. Much easier pulling than packing.

Reviving this older thread to see if there might be updated perspectives to share. Everyone's needs will be different, and that's okay. Explaining how your fave range bag meets your particular needs would be helpful.

I now own several range bags but my go to is an eberlestock backpack. I can fit almost everything in there and carry it around the ranges with ease. Allows me to free up my hands to carry my rifle and bag of bags.

Midway makes a competition range bag that is great for carrying gear.

Condor makes a great bag for hand guns and gear

Buying the cheap tool bags at harbor freight work well also. I have a large one for my cleaning gear

Unfortunately many range bags, even supposedly high-end ones, are made in China. Supporting the commies against the United States is an immediate no-go. This one, however, is not made in China and looked impressive. If NWFA member has one it would help to hear real-world feedback.

5.11 Tactical Range Bag, had it for several years, great bag for loading ammo, handguns, magazines, speed loaders, cleaning supplies, and all else needed for a day at the range.

I've been searching for the perfect range bag most of my life. I'm starting to think it may just be best to get a large pelican case on wheels with dividers, and then configure it how you want/need it.

I have the Shooters Connection bag below and the problem is that it's almost too big. I can easily load the thing to the point that it just becomes too heavy to practically carry. Because of it's large and bulky size it gets pretty awkward. Hence, my thinking to go with a Pelican case on wheels.


The Shooters Connection Pro Bag is an absolute beast of a range bag. It's design has been ripped off by many...you've likely seen Midway's version...but most of these come from China.

The bag is built like a tank and well worth the hundred dollar price, IMO. Note that it has a removal inner zippered bag which might be good for a spotting scope if it fits.

5 gallon bucket, use the change to take your lady out on a nice date, or your kids out for ice cream. Flip it over and you have yourself a seat for bench rest shooting. Your welcome

There are plenty of Berry Compliant bags if you're willing to pay for US made gear. Pictured above, my ForceProtector gear bag is made in the US, so is the OSOE med bag, the SERT TCC case is made in Vietnam using material from the US and S. Korea. I make a point to buy as little as possible from the commie whores, especially when it come to guns and gear.

I know this an old post, but I haven't had good with Midway branded gear. Alot of seams tearing with super mild use.

You get what you pay for.

I bought 2 Osage bags several years ago, they haven't let me down yet.

My next bag will be the eberlestock upranger

Yup, older post & the Midway competition bags we have are older than that.

Still holding up perfectly fine!

Most recent Midway branded range gear we have bought (another extra Midway competition range bag insert & a few Midway bail out bags) quality seems just as good as before.

We've certainly gotten what we've paid for! (...and normally only bought on sale, & with "free" shipping deals)

YMMV.

5 gallon bucket with a tool organizer. Still inexpensive, but you can't turn it over to use as a stool.

When I was a youngster Range bags were range boxes. Usually plywood, with lots of compartments. The better ones had forks on top for your rifle, and a stand for your spotting scope.
Here's one, Google has lots of different pics.

$80 Wooden Range Box

I've always wanted a nice fancy wooden range box, but thought the price was too high. This week I stumbled across a Wood Tool Chest from Harbor Freight that is surprisingly well made for it's price. I figured with a little work it could be made into a nice range box. The box measures 10 inches...
