Been looking at a few on line lately, Sneaky Bags, Vanquest Gear RACKIT bags, and a few others. Anyone able to give an eval since there's no way to see one in person.

I’ve also looked at the 5.11 “covert” bags.
They look decent. Actually handled one in a store somewhere. And they seem a little more grey man looking than the sneaky bags |

Some other bags to look at as well are these.
First Spear has the Noveske discreet backpack, Grey Ghost Gear has the apparition sbr bag, Tactical Tailor has the phantom trekker sbr bag. I'm currently in the market for one but have yet to decide. |

I have the elite survival systems stealth backpack.
It has excellent build quality and is pretty modular. If you don't mind breaking off the upper for transportation then I highly recommend it |

The Vanquest Gear RACKIT bag would be closer to what I'm looking for if it came in a smaller option. Hope this doesn't turn into a perfect holster type search where I end up with a drawer full while searching for perfect, which doesn't exist.

I have one of the UTG Covert bags, pretty cheap, and has survived in excellent shape for over 10 years. Once I used it AS a covert rifle bag just to see how difficult it would be to lug it around, and while a mild POS to have at appointments, not one person said a thing, assumed it was some sort of portfolio or other professional accessory, never had to use my prepared cover story. Full disclosure, this was literally for a lark just to see how difficult it would be, and the rifle carried was a folding stock vz-58 with 30 round mag in place. It was also completely and totally legal. As it is, it was a PITA, and deployment would have taken some time, not like drawing a sidearm. The 5.11 Sing Bag intrigued be for the EVO S1 Scorpion, but anything larger than that, bigger than day pack size, would probably just be a big pain.
UTG bag is still in service today for range trips, and the business card window still has the colorful business card from SeaFab Metals Company, our local Doe Run secondary smelter where I get my certified bullet metal to do my casting. Little inside joke, as it were. I would mind having a rifle caliber pistol folded in a easy carry bag, but the money isn't there right now. |

Eberlestock has a couple of offerings as well. Cherry Bomb and something else.

The Vanquest bag won't be my last. Like the suggested alternatives too.
Thanks- |

I bought some bright florescent Orange bungee cord off of Amazon, and cross-crossed it through those loops - and stuck a can of Tennis Balls in it. It's convincing - tested it out at a Corporate customer of mine's place - President/CEO thought I took up Tennis |

Blackhawk Diversion gym bag is cheap these days and very discreet. The inside is subdivided for multiple rifles.

WRB for PCC it looks looks like a laptop bag. I use it for an SBR B&T.

Just remember, some of these bags make your rifle MORE likely to get stolen, not less. Most vehicle burglars avoid taking firearms, which is a felony. They focus on looking for backpacks, laptop bags, tool bags, and musical instrument bags that contain items they can pawn with a felony record, quickly and easily, and usually are less likely to be reported stolen or the serial number recorded for police to search.
Only a minority of vehicle burglars look for guns. Putting your firearm in a discrete bag may keep neighbors from knowing what you are transporting, but will not improve your odds of not getting your stuff stolen from a vehicle interior when they can see the bag. The best option is probably a sports equipment bag (baseball or tennis) for that or anything that would NOT indicate a musical instrument or laptop may be inside. |

Love this because it looks cheap and whatever is inside would also be cheap.

I have the Hazzard 4 battle axe for my 16" carbine and love it.

Quoted: Not sure where you live or where you got this information, but in Florida, all burglaries are felonies, and guns are like the golden item of vehicle burglaries. Never have I seen a burglary where a gun was in the car but didn’t get taken. Not that it’s relevant to this conversation, but just thought I would comment on that. View Quote Here, BMV was for years and years only a class B misdemeanor, one step up from a Class C traffic ticket. Even a repeat BMV conviction is only a misdemeanor in Texas with a mandated stay in jail of just a few days. Theft of firearms is a felony which you will get 2 years for the first time you do it and serve at least 1 year in prison since your charge involved a firearm (50% time served before parole). A BMV is usually just a couple days in county jail and a time served plea deal. Theft isnt even a felony till its over $2500 value. I have worked a LOT of BMVs and been the victim of several. The last one they broke in for my backpack in the back seat. When the burglar noticed how heavy it was he opened it to find ARB pulleys, shackles, tree strap, winch remote, etc. And dropped it in the bed of my truck as he jumped back into his accomplice's car and left the parking lot. Had that been a gun, I'm sure he would have kept it. Burglars are doing their 9-5 to make money, they usually specilize in particular items they are familiar with like contractor tools, power tools, laptops/tablets, musical instruments, boating gear, etc. They dont hunt for guns but trade em away to others if they stumble across them. |

Anyone currently have Noveske Discreet Backpack and how do you like it?
|
|
[#34]
I don't have the Noveske, but I do have two of the Grey Ghost Gear versions. One I purchased direct on a BF/Christmas deal for $125 and the other I purchased for $95+ tax/shipping through Botach and it shipped and delivered without any issues. It was my first Botach pull, so 1/1 hit so far.
I like the GGG because they do not look tactical at all, but are designed specifically for securing and transporting a SBR size firearm + accessories. |

I just picked up one of these
https://www.elitesurvival.com/concealment-bags-packs/stealth-sbr-rifle-backpack/ Haven't had a chance to use it. It's the size of a regular school/daily backpack, so you're not going to fit even an SBR AR15 unless it's broken down or has a folding stock. I got it more for my GHM9. |

[#36]
I have two of these. Very discrete, and hold a lot of
gear in small package. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H7WN36M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |

I recently bought a Savoir Equipment Urban Takedown bag for my Ruger PC9, but it works well with an SBR AR also.

The packs they make for recurve target bows are a great size and configuration and the prices are modest.

Garage sale well used diaper bag...
Take AR into two pieces. Separate pockets for loaded mags. Have a baby bottle filled with loose ammo. Stick real diapers in some pockets. Rub cheap smelly talcum all over it. Tell anyone who asks, it's for the grandbaby. You're welcome. |
