Best range bags

Hi my wilson combat bag is getting old. Any good ideas on good bags to get. I'm looking for something that will hold 3 guns, ammo and accessories.
Thanks

Cost a LOT less, does the same job, and does it better.

Sadly, Waller is no longer making range bags.

These look interesting.

I have one of these large Midway Competition Range bags and I'll tell you this sucker holds a lot of gear! It has tons of features and is rugged. I have had it loaded up for several years now and it has held up real well with nothing breaking on it. The zippers work just a good a when new. I like all the pockets, slots, 2 removable pistol rugs and magazine pouches. It keeps me very organized.

I've always heard good reviews on the Midway bag but never owned one. I posted this bag a couple of years ago in a thread about range bags. I've been using this heavy duty tool bag for the last several years, designed to hold 100 lbs of tools. Prior to this one, I've probably gone thru 4 or 5 range bags before I found this keeper. The best tool converted range bag I've had so far. Its big. It'll hold a dozen boxes of ammo in the floor of the bag, six handguns in zippered pouches, couple of pair of hearing muff protectors. The outside zippered compartments holds mags, eye protection, cleaning supplies, a couple of gun tools and other random items.

I'm with Cowtowner ---

You can't beat a Midway range bag at 4x the price.

Midway competition range bag. They are on sale all the time, and hard to beat. People will say things like "why spend that much when you can get ____ for less and it's just as good." They have no idea how much better the midway bag really is.

I use a green canvas, leather bottom tool bag by Rooster. Doesn't shout gun! to the world.

ZEBRARANGER - what is name of this bag and from where did u buy it? thanks

chrisintexas · August 30, 2014, 10:51 AM

what would be inconspicuous looking range bags that hold at least 2 guns? with no big ad type names on it?thanks

ZEBRARANGER · August 31, 2014, 10:30 AM

Its made by a company called CLC Custom Leathercraft. Here's a link to the bag http://www.goclc.com/products/Work-G...Backpacks/1539 and here's a link to a youtube video on the bag https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQBqNxSyac0 One of the best things that I like about this bag is that it doesn't look like a range bag.

Nathan · August 31, 2014, 11:01 AM

I have an ishot and it is a good pistol range bag. It is not great for rifle day. It does not haul much ammo well.

That said, if I were making a range bag today, it would be one of those $20-$30 tool bags which best fit my range toys.

** not my picture.

The money saved over an ishot, CED, etc could be used for pistol sleeves, small "module" bag/sleeves for things like cleaning kits, a cleaning rod holder, and other packages.....

I have the large Midway bag, and it is a good one. Sometimes tho, if you are carrying more than 2 pistols, and more than 200-300 rounds of ammo, it can get pretty heavy with all the other stuff I take to the range.

I'm thinking about getting this backpack style. Holds more stuff and easier to carry and doesn't scream "Guns!".

It's available in black or digital camo.

This Youtube video gives you an idea of what it can hold.

could you use a computer backpack as range bag? and if so what modifications you would need to make to do that?
