You spend £1000 plus on your rifle then another £700-1000 for decent optics so throwing it into a £20-00 gun slip is a no brainer.
It gets knocked when you lean it up against the side of the car and that puts an end to your nights foxing or ages spent re-zeroing the rifle after a fall.
So protect your gear with a bag built to do the job, I like quality kit, you buy a cheapy and the zip goes, the nasty fur gets caught up in it, of the strap comes un stitched.
THE AIM series of drag bags.
I ordered mine from optics warehouse based in Paignton, and come today well wrapped, though there was no need to wrap it so well as the bag is bomb proof.
It swallowed my Remington VSSF 22-250 with sound mod attached with ease, back to the bag, it's quality well made and has two pouches on the outside big enough to take all your shooting kit.
straps inside secure the rifle to the centre of the bag ensuring that if it fell the optics or the rifle would not take a blow. On the rear there is another pouch, inside, shoulder straps so you can back pack it leaving both hands free, an internal pocket to take the butt of the rifle so no pull on the zipper.
The stitching is strong, built to take abuse and last, I get the feeling that AIM wanted to build the ultimate bag and the have.
