I am looking for a drag bag or soft case for my Ruger Precision that will actually protect the rifle and scope. I heard the Midway are hit or miss when it comes to quality, what other brands do you recommend? I have a hard case but it is just a little too much bulk in my small car.

Actually, I was going to recommend the Midway drag bag. They're well padded, and they balance out well once you put some ammo and mags in the rear pouches.
The overall reviews on Midway USA are overwhelmingly positive. Yes there have been a few people who've had some quality control issues, but they are definitely in the minority. Worst case scenario - Buy one, and if it doesn't meet your expectations send it back. Is it "combat tough"? Probably not. But it doesn't cost $500 either. Plenty good enough to haul to and from the range or take on a hunt, though. |

I just got a 50" Midway drag bag in tiger stripe camo on sale shipped to the house for $45. Looks like the sale is over though.

The Midway drag bags have a very good reputation.
More like $180, but the Galati drag bag is nice. Very thick nylon. http://www.wiskurtactical.com/prod/DB4812B.html |

Not seeing longer bags (45") in Eagle in stock anyway.
Any thoughts on Drago products. About $85 for a longer tac rifle case. No, not made in USA. |

TAB Gear makes a rifle cover that has padding in the scope and muzzle area. You can still use the bipod and sling with the cover on. It's not a drag bag, but will protect your rifle. If you're running a can you can have it made with an extension that will cover the can when it is on, and when it's not it folds back and clips to the side.

Chinese female inmates making your tactical gear on knock off Chicom copies of Juki machines: http://www.theorient.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/2010_china_rehab.jpg Every time you buy one, you support that system of enslavement. The zipper pulls break off, the stitching between the layers comes apart, and the webbing pulls out. The plastic hardware is garbage, and the snap fasteners pull out of the rivets with normal use because the slave who installed them on the press didn't care, was just sitting there in despair cranking out numbers with no QC supervisor. Takes too much time to QC that many bags, so as long as the bags keep stacking with that fine Chinese river urea-colored Chidura imitation fabric, everyone is happy. I've got a friend's here that has all of those issues that I feel like replacing for him if I could find a real Eagle bag. You couldn't give me one. Get a real Eagle and don't look back.

I’ve had good luck with my Voodoo. Not sure what the going rate is now, but I think I got it for under 100 several years ago.

Yea, it hard to find a regular soft rile bag that will handle a 52" or longer rifle, but I did find one. Originally Posted By mcb: Sort of surprised no one has mentions Armageddon Gear. https://www.armageddongear.com/Precision-Rifle-Case_p_108.html I am also surprised that no one has mentioned GA Precision range bag made by Armageddon Gear and it's only 69.99. It is very basic, but it is built well and works as advertised. |
