Shooting Mats - where to buy in Canada?

[Shibby!]

It looks great if I was just looking for a mat.. But. I want a gun bag/mat combo so that I don't need an extra mat. I also looked at the Blackhawks combo they sell but it doesn't have the extra pockets that I need

As nice of an idea as that is, I've never seen one that worked well. You're laying on straps and webbing, it's an odd shape and length, etc.

If you want a shooting mat, buy a shooting mat.

I love mine. I think it's the NCstar one for ~80$. It's warm in the winter, comfy in the summer, and reasonably well made. The fake leather / plastic could be better as mine has cracked at the seam but appears to have stopped cracking further.

Iv got a dragbag / shooters mat combo from voodoo tactical (same as galati but with some added pockets ). Laying on the straps really isn't a big deal . I don't know about you but the ground I shoot on isn't nice and manicured flat and smooth and the straps aren't even noticeable

I have a Tactical Operations drag bag that comes with a mat. It's amazing, the quality and materials are top notch. The mat could be bigger but it works, so I can't complain. I would highly recommend picking one up.
I really hope my rifle still fits after I get my new stock!

I would like a shooting mat/bag combo for some of the shooting I do - Does anyone have any experience with Galati and do they have any distributors in Canada? One of the reason Im looking at teh Galati is because Im 6 ft tall and would like part of my body ON the mat ... instead of just my chest
Im looking at the following
CONDOR SNIPER MAT O.D, Coyote - Tactical Products Canada carries it $119.95
Galati Delux Shooters Mat ( USA) $224.95

Any other options I have not considered

Vinzer Sports, site sponsor sells a drag bag/mat combo for about 80 bucks. Max rifle length is 50". It has a couple of pockets on the inside, lots of PALS on the outside, if you want to add you own stuff. Works fine at what it does. All is well until it starts to rain, then you are packing your rifle into a soaking wet bag. Not the biggest deal I guess, if your rifle is already wet and it won't be spending long in the case.
