PRS rifle case? What are you guys using?

AiM field sports drag bags
40-60 inches in 5 inch increments
4th one is on the way
I’ve got a 55” one of those. It’s pretty good, but for general rifle schupping it’s a bit overkill, and it doesn’t have a shoulder strap. I’ve tried to just use one backpack strap as a typical single shoulder strap and I couldn’t make it work.

My big plan at the time I bought the AIM was to pack everything in one AIM rifle case and backpack carry. Well, if you’re not careful, it smacks the top of doorways, and with a spotter, ammo, mags, bipod, tripod etc the thing is way too bloody heavy to just go from house to car and then car to range. For me, it’s way easier to use a big range backpack and a separate rifle case that I also sling over top a backpack strap.

For actual hiking, I also found the waist strap of the AIM to be lacking, and on the 55” model the butt end hangs just low enough so it can touch my calves sometimes. I bet the 50” model is better in that regard, and the short models built for folders look interesting.

The only proper drag back I’ve found with a decent waist belt is the Eberlestock, and I haven’t seen one in person. Myself, I use a Vorn Deer pack and it is pretty awesome (but a little heavy). Not sure they still import those to the USA.

backpacking the 45-50 is not trouble at all. 13 year old Daughter uses a 40 for her rifles. 60 is definitely a one strap operation
 
If you're not needing a drag bag, I've been using an Eylar case I found on Amazon. It's surprisingly stout. Comes with pluck-&-peel foam for customisation.

This^^^^^^

Well built. Fits lots of gear. Been using mine weekly for 2 years now.
I use these too. Good soft case for the price. Solid so far...but a bit heavy.

I think with my PRS rifle and accessories including a 5lb gamer plate and bag, it weighs close to 40lbs. Guesstimating

That’s the problem with a bag that can fit everything you need. It’s heavier than a fat kid in a candy store.
 
I like the simple but high quality ones from creedmoor sports. They will make a rifle bag to whatever length you need.
I just got the 52” case, awesome quality if you just need a quality rifle case and store all your accessories in another bag.

I really like this case because it does not really look like a gun case. Keeps the neighbors nose out of my business.

I have a savior bag and the only complaint I have is no hanging loop for storage as I don't have a place to lay it flat without taking up other valuable storage space.
 
RE AIM bag: I’ve tried to just use one backpack strap as a typical single shoulder strap and I couldn’t make it work.

Ok I take my prev criticism back about the AIM field sport bags. I tried it again a few different ways and voilà! Finally made it work. I used one backpack strap to carry the thing upon one shoulder. Awesome!
 
Armageddon make Great stuff. Bulletproof. Made in the USA also.

I bought one of these last week. Got it today. By far my favorite case. Armageddon does make quality stuff, but I've never seen one of their cases. It is tough, built well, and doesn't have a bunch of outer pockets and storage hanging off of it like many "tacticool" cases do. I will definitely buy more of these!
