Check out www.tommysgunpack.com for some really nice and well made bags at a reasonable price.
I would also check www.maxpedition.com if you want to spend a bit more. |

For the nicest, toughest, smartest range bag ever go to www.shootersconnection.com and look at the Tournament Series range bag. It isn't cheap but you will not find anything even close to as good.

I have seen several black and yellow Dewalt tool bags at recent IDPA matches. Good size, lots of compartments, and probably less expensive than the tacktickle stuff.

This is what I've been using and it works great. Lots of room and plenty of spots for small stuff. Got it a Lowe's for about $6.

Check out Midway's range bag on sale for $30.00 Just got mine yesterday and was hard pressed to use all the available space!! Shoulder strap, two bags in one, 2 pistol cases, water bottle holder, brass bag,6 outside pockets with bidirectional zippers,at least 12 mag loops. Worth checking out. And if you don't like it for the range, you've got a great weekender bag for traveling.

Terrible customer service from tommysgunpack.com
I haved to respectfully disagree witgh UH1-D Rotorhead on this. Tommysgunpack.com says they guarentee their products. When the zipper broke & fabric split on an outside pocket of the rangebag I'd bought from them, they wouldn't even respond to my queries. I posted about this in the gear & accessories section or maybe it was the section rating dealers etc. several months ago. Search tommysgunpack.com on this forum for the complete story. The KickinA Bags & stuff they sell seem to be fairly well designed but flimsey with a worthless warrenty sold by jerks who won't even respond to nice requests for warrenty coverage. I will never buy anything else from them & will always reccommend that you don't. If you want to know how I really feel about them, let me know.

For once, I'm going to take the low road
Normally I tend to go for high-end gear, but my range bag is a gym bag that I got at K-Mart for <$10. It's large enough to hold two handguns (in their own cases), my cleaning and tool kit, two pairs of hearing protectors, and a few boxes of ammo. I've seen some really nice ones in the ~$50 range
http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/30981-53360-1078.html but the cheappy gym bag works just fine for me. Saves me money for more ammo! |

I found a large plastic toolbox similar to the one above. I got two for under $10 at Menards if I remember right. It's nice to have cleaning supplies, lubes, and tools available and handy at the range.

So you don't know what an assault rifle is???
What's with the rolled eyes? Do you have a problem with my suggestion(s)?

Whatever you get, I recommend that it be plain without logos/names. Neighbors don't need to know your business?

take a look at craftsman ( yes, SEARS ) tool bags, they make several sizes and they are pretty durable. Plus they cost a bit less than ' tactical looking ' bags.
here you go: http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/searc...yword=tool+bag

I like those larger US Postal Service plastic/nylon 'boxes'. Good two handed carry, toss in all your stuff (handguns in zipped cases), dump empties in the bottom, sit flat ......

A soft-sided tackle box works well. Remove the lure trays and yer in business.

I use the blue and black Rubbermaid bags in the tool section at Wal Mart. $8.00 and they work very well.

The Midway bag is where its at, in my opinion. I have used all sorts of tool bags, gym bags, etc, and while they worked, they are nothing like a true rang bag. If all you ever had was a tool bag, then you do not know what you are missing, trust me.

I would have agreed with you a few years ago, but since I started using the rubbermaid bags they just seem to work better for me. They have elastic loops for magazines two pockets for pistols and hold 300 rounds of ammo with my staple gun. They also keep me from loading them to the point they are so heavy the shoulder strap connections break. That was the problem I had with the previous range bags I had used. These don't have a shoulder strap and don't need one. |

I have two of the Rubbermaid bags, and they are entirely too small for my needs. They have a poor closure, i.e., velcro, and dont nearly enough ammo. I currently use mine as a "man purse" to throw in the pickup, with ammo, a knife, compass, light, etc in it.
