I have a Shooter Ridge range bag and like the size, layout and some features but the zippers are lousy. Looking for something 20" ish long with pockets on the end where I can hold ear muffs and shooting glasses etc. Bottom has to be reinforce. Will hold my shooting rest (allen front and rear sand filled type) a pistol or two, targets and ammo. Shoulder strap. I don't need\want individual magazine pockets- so on the simplistic side.

Harder to find than in the past it seems. Any references?

I have one picked out. Be here in two days.

What did you get?

Got a 40l patrol bag from 5.11 It has a divider or two but not tons of molle connections I didn't need nor tons of pistol mag holders or over many doo-dads.. It has separate compartments on either end like my current bag and that is where I tend to throw ear and eye protection. The center compartment can hold my cheap spotting scope inside an entire length divider which is about all the dividing I need or want, I should be able to throw a pistol, maybe two in there, with a few boxes of ammo, Hoping my rest, a mall notepad and peel-n-stick targets. Shoulder strap. Supposedly good zippers and reinforced bottom. Outstanding reviews on Amazon. Some guy saying he totes 40 pounds of stuff in his.

5.11 Tactical patrol

Came in yesterday. Bigger than I thought. Liking its layout so far. Has a reinforced bottom which was a must. The clasps for the shoulder strap have a nice metal stays. Nice compartments in and out without going crazy and no molle. Will house my spotting scope perfectly. Don't think I could have drawn up a better bag for what I want.

Might grease the zippers on this thing. Maybe a little gun butter or something. Never done that to one before but wouldn't think it would hurt. Zippers are why I replaced my last two.

Carhardt clothing brand makes a larger and smaller tool bag with a solid hard bottom. I have one for my SBR setup. It look tool like and pedestrian and has carry loop handles and a shoulder strap.

Funny how my searching didn't pull up any Carhartt bags. Took a look and yeah I do like the looks of that 40l bag. If this one doesn't work out I will remember that- thanks for the tip- better late than never. These bags aren't so expensive that one couldn't change it out on a whim.

Filled and used it yesterday. Seems similar construction quality but roomier, lighter and overall a bit nicer. Loved it .

Try some paraffin wax on sticky zippers.

Thanks for the tip.

Wax works well on zippers

Hornady one shot on my zippers worked well.

I see the OP has ordered a bag, but I'll add that my wife bought me this bag in OD color a couple years back, and it's been very good.
