We have for years been bringing in drag bags and shooting mattes from various manufacturers.
All seem to have some things we like and some we do not. SO we decided to commission what we think is the Ultimate rifle soft case.
Many drag bags are 48 to 52 inches long and fit many sporting type rifle, but once you get a brake on the rifle or run a longer than factory barrel, the options seem to get fewer and fewer. We figured that a 55" inside length would be great, that way a 29" barrelled rifle with brake will fit.
In many instances a shooting matte is something many of us employ, so why not as some have already done make the gun case and shooting matte 1 accessory. This saves the cost of the matte as well as having 2 things to hump around.
This is what we came up with.
Industrial grade water resistant 1000 denier cordura nylon material, YKK military grade zippers and buckles. All stitching is double seam, the cut edges of the fabric are hot cut to prevent unraveling, then have a finish edging sewn on. Lots of molle webbing.
The carry handle and removable back pack straps are all double sewn and are continuous around the bag and overlapped.
No chance of handle or strap sewing failing and allowing the gun to fall.
It folds out flat to make a shooting matte that is 48" wide by 94" long. The gun case part being 48x55" and having 1" think high density foam, the same type as the higher quality camping mattes employ. The 39" of rubberized ground sheet that folds out of the case to keep the shooters legs and feet from the ground/mud/snow has 3 spike loops to keep it from moving or blowing about. There is also an optional removable front tarp for those who shoot rifles with brakes on them and hate the dirt that is thrown up.
Bag folded front side
Bag folded rear view
Pricing looks like it will be in the $350.00 to $375.00 plus tax range by the time they land here.
We are taking pre-orders now at $325.00 and they should be in country in the next 90 days.
