Packed and ready
Soft cases are usually made of nylon and many of the assault cases are designed similiarly. Assault rifle cases are very practical because they hold and organize your magazines. I highly recommend marking the case for a specific rifle just so you don’t get your semi-autos gun magazines mixed up. If you don’t need something like an assault rifle case, then and easy think to do is just a zip up soft case or gun sock. You may want to look into a range bag which can hold staplers or even handguns and magazines as well as ammo.
Today might be the day that you were out at the range and you realized that you forgot your sight in tools, or you forgot to bring enough magazines, or worse, you forgot your rifle mags or you brought the wrong ones. Bulldog rifle cases are very well made and won’t burn a hole in your pocket. Serious gear needs serious organization and that doesn’t mean we need to have an SKB hardcase for our rifles. I would suggest that if you have a rifle that costs over $3000 and that is including the optics then you may want a hard case, but let’s be practical. We need to transport our guns WITH the gear we need and not have to add much weight.
I was never the one that was into the tactical doodad thing when I got into shooting AR15 rifles. My idea of a rifle is a 30/30 or a M1 or FAL rifle. I understood the ballistics of the .223 round and knew what is was good for and always thought that I should stick with the 20 inch heavy barrel for the best terminal ballistics. Well, then I actually started learning about close combat and understood that toting the longest barrel gun and the heaviest barrel is going to mean slower speed and too much weight.
