Looks like a really nice case, but coyote doesn't seem all that discreet. In black it makes more sense. Still $200 is a lot of dough for a soft case.
I would probably look at one of the take down style discreet cases or an actual guitar case. |

What kind of rifle? A backpack can be a good choice.

I built two of the "toolbox" cases featured on ARF about 10 years ago. Those have both served me incredibly well...

Rectangular. No gun outline.
Put band and keyboard patches on it. Yamaha Keyboards, whatever brand, and your favorite bands. People will assume that's what it is, a keyboard.

Doesn't have molle straps all over it though

How a about a cheap baseball bag. It's got a separate zippered pocket perfect for spare mags and a pocket on the bottom for a bat in case you run out of bullets.

I use a soft guitar case.It's red with balck shoulder straps and a carry handle.Has one big outside pouch.It's soft,but stiff enough that it holds it's shape.
Has a couple velcro straps inside that hold the rifle in place. Holds a 16" AR with collapsible stock (extended) and a 30 rd mag inserted.I keep 3 spare mags in the outside pouch. People ask if I play gutiar all the time-I tell them I like to play a little heavy metal now and again.

I have a violin case meant for a tommy gun that works great. I didn't feel the slightest bit of apprehension when I walked it through a parking lot yesterday to my apartment.

If you look like a carpenter... a toolbox If you look like a golfer... If you look like a softball/baseball player.... It's called "congruence" |

You can even break it down in half for longer rifles if You are not anal about scratches.

Ill second the suggestion of getting get a regular rectangular hard case and slap a Zildjian sticker or two on it, everyone will assume its an instrument case.

Link? http://www.quarterbore.com/ar15m16/toolbox.html I didn't cut foam for the second layer, i just lay my upper in there. You want to make sure the upper will fit in the case diagonally. I also cut a spot for 6 mags stacked up next to the lower receiver. Rifle, 6 magazines in bottom; tray holds cleaning tools, eye/ear pro...not a bad truck gun/trunk gun case. Plus, it's easily lockable. |

I have found that my broken down suppressed SBR fits into a dell laptop bag.
Lower in the rear compartment, upper+mags+silencer in the laptop compartment. It works nicely since I work in IT. |

I use a 40$ padded soft guitar case I got from Daddy's Junky Music. It works just fine....
The battle axe seems nice but is very expensive and kind of bulky looking. |

I don't have a 'battle ax', but I can vouch for Hazard 4's quality. 2 years ago, I bought their 'ditch' briefcase and I use it everyday to carry my laptop and a plethora of other stuff. Outstanding product. Well designed, quality worksmanship and attention to detail.  I wasn't aware of the 'battle ax' until your post....but now I'll be getting one. |

A friend of mine used to travel with all his arms and accessories packed in Pelican (or similar) cases that he had stenciled in large letters: "Smith's Sanitation Service". He always kept a liberal coating of mud on them as well.

I've got an extra cello case that someone needs to convert. It will hold more than one rifle.
The thing about guitar cases; someone's going to ask you to play The Wildwood Flower (acoustic case) or Stairway to Heaven (electric case). Then you'll have to make an excuse. Cello? No one has time fo' dat. |

The AR15.com covert bags rock. The black is much more stealthy than the LaRue bags, and they are only 60 bucks. However, they are out of stock right now.

It is like a keyboard case when carried around. If you get lazy and just toss the gun in assembled only 4" or so of barrel protrudes |

Here is the thing, a truly Covert/Discreet bag should not only have no relation to the shooting sports(coyote tan, PALS webing, velcro) it also should not be something that is of value to the average walk by thief. The street thief looking for something to pawn for a quick buck is MORE interested in your guitar/Baseball gear/etc then he is your gun. A ratty backpack or gym bag draws no attention from anyone, unless you look like you would never work out.
