I am wary of using that bag, it vary rarely leaves my sight- even when locked in the car. The main purpose is to get all the stuff in one place and to and from the car without screaming GUN.
Until I can get Hermione Granger to cast a spell on something for me it’s what I’ve got.
Copy that; and the bottomless bag reference:jester:
This is why I didn’t get the traditional rifle pelican case (17xx). I went with a 1660 + padded ‘photography’ dividers, which are flexible and attached via velcro, so it’s a dynamic setup and can fit much more than just a long gun, optic, and magazines. I need to square it away in terms of setup then I’ll get some pics.
Recently got the Sneakybag CRB and it really blends in. Holds a SBR, a few mags, pistol, pistol mags, handheld light, IFAK, TQ, etc. without a problem.
ETA: in the midst of configuring the ‘battle box’ but here’s an idea of what I’ve come up with. I still need to play with those removable dividers to get a nice snug fit, the uppers/lowers themselves might be loose no matter what so I’ll probably wrap em in bubblewrap or something. Should be able to hold 2x broken down ARs, suppressors, magazines, 2-3k ammunition, pistol, plate carrier, first line belt, clothing, boots, tools/backup parts, med supplies, lights, batts, eyes, ears, etc. No idea how much it’ll weigh when packed 
But I the idea of traveling with everything in one place.

Who makes your multicam plate carrier?
Munch is a door to door tactical salesman. 
OP, that is a pretty extensive list. The only thing I would add is probably a “Huey Lewis and the News” CD and Sony Discman to get me pumped for action.
I have a 6-10 mags, Leatherman tool, a little bottle of lube and G.I. cleaning rod tossed in a small, soft lunch box they gave me at work.
The AR gets chunked on the floorboard behind the seat.
I’ve been through through a BUNCH of matches and quite a few classes with that setup. I have a lunch box for pistol stuff and one for carbine stuff.
If I had to travel via air, bus or other shared means of transportation, a case would be necessary.
If it’s an important match or an expensive class I bring an extra AR or pistol. It shouldn’t take a golf cart mounted suitcase loaded with 150lbs of shit to keep a rifle and a pistol running for a few mags and a couple of days.
It’s a TAG Banshee
‘Knock knock’!
To be clear, this is for 2-3 training courses only. And would be the bugout box if I had time to grab it.
For most classes and events, I’d just grab the sneakybag.
And yeah I should include a Metallica or AC/DC CD and NO Explode for when I need to get amped. :sarcastic: :laugh:
I’m a big fan of non tactical bags / boxes. If you’re driving somewhere and they see ammo cans, Pelicans, rifle cases, you are generating interest.
And I’m not talking about leaving your vehicle unattended, but you just opening your trunk for something else, or looking through the back windows (Truck, SUV).
I’m the gray man.
Agreed. That’s why I use this 90% of the time. But when traveling for training, you kinda have to use a larger hard case.
In Iraq I had a cleaning kit, storage bag I ghetto rigged from my 3 day assault bag, and and my excellent situational awareness of my issue weapon’s status.
If you need more than that then good luck - it’s overkill masquerading as attention to detail and too much access to money.
Transporting domestically on a plane may include a fancy hard case, but not exactly a necessity.
Funny I come across this thread I was actually thinking about this today in my mind when I was looking at gear I wanted to use with my newest rifle, a Remington 700.
As a general rule of thumb, I keep the following for any weapon I use:
-hard case
-soft case
-spare magazines
-sling/holster
-white light
-appropriate cleaning supplies
-spare set of replacement parts, batteries, and associated tools
-associated “tactical gear” for my weapon system
-file on laptop with the history of weapon maintenance, round count, etc.
The term tactical gear as used in this post is broad and encompasses web gear, NODS, and other special equipment used primarily for a particular weapon. For example, with my Remington I keep a spotting scope w/tripod, log book, rear bag, shooting mat, and other gear of that nature in a 3 day pack that goes to the range with me and doubles as a nice rest for my rifle On the other hand, I have a small nike workout bag for my AR with ear pro, fight light belt, plates, NODS, magazine holders, and the like that is specific to my AR. Gear may get moved from one bag to another depending on if I need it for a particular situation but the general idea is to have a bag for each of my weapons that has everything I need for the range in ready to go bag and whatever I have for the weapon that will not be at the range is arranged in an organized fashion that is secure but readily accessible.
That being said I have like many others on this board, found it necessary to have a large bag for transport and went with one of LBTs deployment bags I bought for $80 when they had their sale. The only thing I don’t like about it is it draws a lot of attention being huge and multicam but considering it can fit multiple rifle hardcases, any associated gear and my clothes with room to spare I’ll take it. Hell it can even fit little sisters
A bag made for baseball/softball bats works great. Most long rifles will fit and it most certainly does not scream gun when you move it.
You can pick one up cheap at any used sporting goods store or a new one for around $30.

I recently rolled into a hotel with one of those LBT bags. I was spending the night between days of a Redback One class. The gal at the counter said “thanks for your service”, I had to politely correct her and tell her I was neither active duty nor a veteran. Little did she know there was my clothes, foul weather gear, two AR’s, 15 AR mags, two Glocks, two XDm’s and 20 of their magsAND my full HSGI belt. Those bags are HUGE and can store a bunch.
With regard to cases, I throw whatever real padded rifle cases, soft gear cases, tool bags for muffs, eye pro, plus loose jackets, shooting mat, I have into a non descript 42" sporting zippered duffel bag while it is in my car on my way to the range or a class.
View it from the outside, would be thieves don’t know if it is crappy clothing or interested LEO’s cant take the I need to search your rifle case to check your firearm is unloaded.
Works well from the back of an SUV or pickup.
You can roll it up and store it away when at home.
Fit a friends super long Yugo SKS in a padded zippered case no problem in the duffel bag.
Even have a smaller duffel bag I put my bulldog non discreet gun case within since I think even the non discreet case screams gun or “hey there is something of value in here”.
Use a case to transport your gun, not to store it.
Store your gun in a cabinet or a safe, uncased, with dehumidification or VCI, to prevent corrosion (not to mention theft).
Good point, weapons should be stored in a safe / cabinet, not a foam filled case.
For me personally, for HD setup, range trips, and transporting:
-Quality Optic
-BUIS
-Good sling (VCAS is my preference)
-Weapon light
-SLIP 2000
-Cleaning rod
-Corrosion resistant case (in case of wet weather while at the range, it helps protect my rifle until I get home and can wipe it down and clean it.)
Shtf scenario. Grab your rifle, mags, as much ammo as you can carry, food and water. Torque wrench??? Come on now…
If you want a small cleaning kit run the issued Otis kit.
I actually consider that an indispensable piece of kit. I’ve got a few, but this one is great while in the field. It even comes with it’s own roll-up pouch that holds every bit and driver you might need in a package smaller than a 12 ounce soda can.
