New 5.11 Range Bag

[jmlutz]

I finally wore out my old range bag, the rips and tears just got too big. Through the magic of credit cards I ordered a new 5.11 from Midway, it came in earlier today. My first impression was just of amazement, I've never handled a bag so well made and cleverly thought out. The bag is large, it easily held all the contents of my old one with a ton of room to spare. After I transferred everything over I started adding more boxes of ammo to it, I wound up taking several of them out because it was just getting too heavy to easily carry. The bag has many compartments, I think it's pretty much ideal before I've even taken it to the range. The bag is pricey, but I think it is well worth it, I'd recommend it to anyone.

Good for you! I like 5.11 - I buy their stuff, mostly clothing, when I see it on sale periodically. I haven't had a complaint yet on the quality!

Good for you! I got one a number of years ago.

Cool beans Mike, congrats. I'm too cheap to buy a bag that expensive, I went with the MidwayUSA brand bag for 1/3 the cost :D

Good looking bag!

Nice bag. I have one that is quite similar. Has stood up to some rough use. If I pack it with ammo, it is almost heavier than I can carry. Yet the seams, zippers, etc. have held up really well. Enjoy it!

Great bag....I keep mine on one of this little chrome luggage carts, loaded to the top. Damn they get heavy!

I have the Midway version of that bag and it is awesome! The insert and gun rugs are very handy. I find myself loading it up with too much ammo sometimes. I also keep a full cleaning kit, a punch set and quite a few other tools in it as well. Came in handy when I had a stuck shell and had to tap it out from the muzzle end with a solid cleaning rod and a tapper hammer. I was really glad I had those tools on hand that day.

My only complaint about mine is the carry strap. When I got mine it was missing. I called Midway and they said I could ship the whole bag back and they would ship me another or I could take a $15 credit. I dont think they were offering to pay for the return shipping it has been a while, but I took the credit and used another shoulder strap I had on and. It isn't nearly as good as what would have come with the bag. Seems they couldn't just send a strap. 5.11 should have much better quality control and customer service if you ever need it but the way their products are built you will probably never need to contact them!

The only negative about the bag is it is very easy to over pack. So much room makes you want to add more equipment than necessary. If you take three or four guns plus ammo and accessories to a range session it will weigh a ton but will easily be able to handle the load even if you are getting a work out from it.

Nice bag Mike, looks like it'll hold a ton of stuff!

The Midway bag Ell sent me is similar and works great, too.

Nice bag Mike, 5.11 and Maxpedition make nice shooting hiking gear.
