Had to drop by DS Tactical today and pick up the Eberlestock Sniper Sled drag bag they had set aside for me.

What an awesome bag!!The outer 3 pouches attach via Molle webbing and can be removed/moved, or different pouches added.


The middle pouch is like an admin pouch that had lots of interior pockets and pouches.also has 2 exterior pouches on each end that will hold pistol mags, multi-tools, or even a Kestral weather meter.


The zipper pulls are large enough to get a gloved finger in to open.



Inside the bag there are 3 padded retaining straps and a large pocket for the rifle butt stock to sit in.The rifle is very secure.



There is a padded flap that folds over to protect your rifle and large interior mesh pockets on the opposite side of the case along with more Molle web to attach other pouches.With the interior flap fold all the way open, the bag can double as a shooting mat.



The back pack straps and waist belt are well thought out and can be configured to use a muzzle up or muzzle down carry.The straps can also be removed if not required.

The bag also fits perfectly in my Starlight hard case.Just have to remove the foam from the case.

The Arktis drag bag I had was a good bag and served me well, but the Eberlestock Sniper Sled is a pretty good step up!!



This bag is on the expensive side at roughly $450.00 Cdn, but that is peanuts when you want to carry and protect a $6000.00+ rifle/scope. ;)












 
Ah yes, using that drag bag INSIDE the hard case... most practical approach. That was gonna be one of my next questions; will this drag bag fit inside a Pelican 1750 ?

But you have already jumped ahead of me. Buy once, cry once! :eek:

Thanks for the pictures! :wave:

Why a drag bag over a hard case?

My Cadex came with a drag bag, but figured I'd go with a Pelican......

Easier to carry the rifle around at a match and out in the field.
I can carry most everything I need in the drag bag for a day of shooting.
For serious transport, the bag will fit into my hardcase. ;)
 
I have the Olive long version. Eberlystock make the best stuff. Very high quality.
I also bought the G4 operator backpack with scabbard integrated. It allows mw to carry more stuff to my LR shooting spot.
 
Yes, it is an awesome bag. I have one as well and it carries everything I need. One small suggestion is to put your rifle in with the scope 180 deg from the way your picks show it. That way it will be on the top when you set the rifle down. I stick a cleaning rod through the loops on the bottom and into the stock pocket as well. I can also take an extra barrel and set it in the fold with out beating it or the scope up. The bag gets dirty fast but after 2 years and lots of use it is still holding up just fine. No seams tearing or zippers falling apart. Mind you, I'm not earning a living with it...

lol......yes, I usually rig my rifle the opposite the way then the pics. I just threw the rifle in for pics.......... ;)

I bought some small velcro retaining straps and fed them through the lower set of loops to retain my cleaning rod.

I set up the interior Molle section with a couple of HSGI Tacos and a spare TT .308 mag holder to hold my 10 round AI/MDT mags .

Now there is a good idea... Never thought of using my spare HSGI Taco's to fit INSIDE my sniper bag. What a novel idea. I've already got them inside a Tactical Tailor M4 Triple magazine pouch (sniper ruck MOLLE) but inside I chopped a 2" by 2" by 2" piece of packing foam to fill the bottom third so that my AICS / Accurate Magazine 10 rounders can be grabbed by the wider edged floor plate. :)

Cheers! :wave:

I just stopped in at Wholesale Sports in Edmonton, they are selling there Eberlestock drag bags (Long)..for $257.00

Which is approximately $200 off.
Black only.
I may purchase another bag due to its amazing quality.
 
Great review. I too have come to prefer drag bags for my long guns. I love being to carry pretty much all of my day's shooting needs into one bag.

Thanks for the heads up! I went to WSS this morning and grabbed the last one they had (Calgary).
Will be perfect for my .338 Lapua or .50BMG.
