Looking for affordable but decent case that will hold two rifles and maybe a pistol. When I go camping or out of town I ussualy take a Ruger American 762x39 with 3 20rd and a couple 5 round mags. Also take my Ruger 10/22TD with a 25rd, 2 15rd and a couple double 10rd magazines. Depending on where I’m going a Glock 19 or 21 might also be in the case with a G43 or XDs 45 4” on my body.
Ammo and some of the mags can go in a separate box.
Just looking for something decent to put most of it in so that I’m not taking multipl case’s. Throwing my man card card out the window I will say most of the time it’s going to go in dodge caravan stow-n-go area.
That style will do you just fine. No need to break the bank on what amounts to just a bag. I’ve hauled two rifles, rifle and shotgun, a bunch of AR mags, a pistol and some other stuff.
I have fit four long guns in my 46" SERT TCC by utilizing the top compartment instead of putting mags in it. I can fit two ARs in the 36" version. They are not a cheap bag but they are currenly phasing out their gen 4 line and if you’re ok with the limited color selection the price is damn good, especailly when you consider the quiality.
Not once have I thought of using the external compartment for a rifle. I’ve always had a triple M4 magazine pouch, a quad M14 magazine pouch, and straps for optics, bipods, etc.
A 16" AR with stock collapsed fits perfectly above the magazine pouches (as long as they’re empty) with the optic strapped between the pouches.
I really liked the case before…now, it’s even better. Thanks!!!

How long have you had your bag? My experience with the NCStar was that the should straps will start coming part at the seams and the quality just isn’t there for rougher handling. If I just carry from the truck to the bed, bench, or what have you, it’s ok and there is no stress introduced and it seems all the weight is around the handles. But if you start stressing components it start tearing. If you have some hard usage and start stressing components, it will start to come apart on you. I still use the”you get what you pay for motto”. That said I have a Voodoo Tactical that is holding up well. I have a Lancer Tactical bag, that I just cut off the 2nd shoulder strap because the other shoulder strap decided it like carrying. Two AR’s
Like the Lancer it’s probably good for light range use. Truck to bench to truck. But start making more demanding needs of it, and I’m afraid the “get what you pay for” will really show up.
I have that style although it’s tagged Voodoo Tactical. I’ve had it for 5-6 years. Range trips etc. I have actually carried it as a backpack for a half mile with a rifle and shotgun in it. Holding up well.
Does it need to be a soft case? I’m not sure how much room is in the caravan stow and go but…I bought one of the Plano field locker cases, it would hold 2 rifles if they don’t have large scopes. I have a pelican case and 2 of the pelican/hardigg cases and I’ll say this Plano case is about 90% of a pelican for 50% of the cost…$78 at their outlet store, prob a bit more from amazon or wherever
Forgot to add…my pelican/hardigg cases came with fitted soft cases inside with a padded divider for 2 rifles. Kinda spendy but it’s really nice. Big enough it folds out into a shooting mat even. Pretty sure you can buy just the soft case alone
If you’re still looking, I bought the Cannae TRIPLEX ACIES 3 GUN Bag for about $100 on sale, it has lots of room with one section that can extend for really long rifles although my AR with an 18" barrel fits without it.
They seem to be out of stock right now.
The thumb nails should enlarge, have no clue why they are upside down or how to fix it and I’m certainly no photographer.
The green one, subject of the thread, is an older 36" w/ 16" Colt in the main compartment and my 14.5" BCM (scored that complete lower barely used for $200 last weekend) with a short stock will just barely fit in the smaller compartment (a 16" or longer stock will not fit, the latest gen I don’t know) it usually has a 20 round mag in it, the loose black strap secures my extra pistols in it’s holster. The black one is a 46", I usually have two AKs in the top compartment, here it is hold my 870P instead of one my SAR-1. Main compartment is holding my M1A and another one of my ARs. I don’t use the shoulder strap on this bag, it is pretty heavy, the green one I do.
