azmaxfan Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) I'm looking at the 5.11 soft case and the Vodoo Mollee soft case. The primary use will be for transporting to the range. I'm looking for reviews of these two cases or another you find better. Thanks, Bob Edited February 20, 2011 by azmaxfan Quote
Alpengeist Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 not sure about any "tactical" cases but i use this for my supernova tactical with an eotech on it and it gets the job done for me.. http://www.basspro.com/RedHead%C2%AE-Rifle-or-Shotgun-Case/product/65528/-1161395 Quote
dprichard Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 I have the 5.11 double rifle case. Just got it in December and already have a replacement on the way. Zippers get caught on the material inside the bag and I have to put a screwdriver through the hole in the zipper to pull to get it open. I expect the same from the replacement. Really not impressed for an $175.00 bag. Quote

Did you like anything about that bag? Quote
TacticalKoala Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 http://sap075.channeladvisor.com/p-28-42-inch-molle-soft-padded-padded-weapons-case-with-backpack-straps.aspx That's what I use for the range. It can carry a Ruger 556, M4 and two pistols. Very well made and no problems with the quality, I have used it for about two years now. Quote
Super M4 Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 I've been using the cheap Tac Force cases for awhile. They have held up for about 2 years now. I use their discreet cases and their double rifle case. Both cases the zipper handles have broken off and they snag on the inside of the material. Here are some other companies you can try: Eagle Industries, Blackhawk, 5.11 tactical, Boyt Tactical, Blue Force gear. Quote

I hope the replacement is better. Did you like anything about that bag? Yeah, I hope so as well. I have always been a big fan of 5.11 tactical. I love the bag itself. Love being able to hang a crap load of molle stuff from it as well. But literally the 3rd or 4th time I went to open the bag the zippers got hung up and almost every time I open the bag now they hang up. Total game changer if I ever had to get into the bag quickly in a tight spot. I for sure wouldn't grab that bag to take with me in a life or death. Hopefully the replacement will come in sometime this week. Quote
twowheelhooligan Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Hey, just a bit of hopefully helpful info. I have a soft case by, Python I think. It is more of an AR15 case, but works well for my Ben M4. Anyway, intent of my post is if you use a breacher choke, those prongs can kinda be sharp and cut into your potentiall pricey investment of a case. I have the Carlson' choke for now and here's what I've done. I went to a hardware store and got the rubber pads that go on the feet of chair legs. I got one slightly smaller than the O.D. of my choke. I purposely got a white-colored piece so I'd notice it before I shoot it. Yeah, it looks goofy at first, but it saves the lining in your bag. Just $.02 for ya. 2-wheel Quote
dprichard Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Well, I just got my replacement case from 5.11 Tactical and it only took me a few minutes of playing with the zipper to recreate the problem on the new case. Kinda sucks. Quote
murphysteuer Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 I've been extremely happy with the Maxpedition Discreet case - can actually hold two firearms and very low profile. Quote
hattles Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 I'm looking at the 5.11 soft case and the Vodoo Mollee soft case. The primary use will be for transporting to the range. I'm looking for reviews of these two cases or another you find better. Thanks, Bob I bought my scoped AR tactical soft case from the Tactical Store. I am very pleased with it and it has velcro pouches for 5 mags. http://www.tactical-store.com/5-11-tactical-gun-cases-f.html They do have 5.11 gun cases in 36inch(MP4) and a 5.11 42" Gun Case (Shotgun) 58622 shotgun case for $87.99 w/free shipping.

murphysteuer Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Also here is a pic of my Hardigg Mobile Armory Fieldpack. These are expensive, but can use a Pelican or Storm case for two weapons. If you want a pic of the Maxpedition, let me know and I'll take a shot for you. Sorry I did not have my Benelli in the case for the pic. Quote
murphysteuer Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Thank you - I'd like to cut the 94, but I live in an sbr unfriendly state. Quote
Tango two Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Cabela's 50th Anniversary models made by Boyt HERE Quote
AggiePhil Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 I got a Maxpedition Sliver-II case when they were on sale for 30% off. It's only 38" long so it won't fit with the factory stock but I think it'll fit with the Urbino stock (which I have yet to buy). I wanted the shortest case possible since the Benelli is pretty long as-is. It's a well-built case. Quote
Hogslayer Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Look at tactical Tailor's bags they are fairly reliable for the money. London Bridge tactical gear is extrememly reliable and well made. Hard to find and expensive but well worth every penny. Quote

Sorry guys forgot to attach the links. www.Tacticaltailor.com www.londonbridgetrading.com I have the snipe drag bag from london bridge that i use for my long gun. absolutly worth the money spent!

azmaxfan Posted February 24, 2011 Author Posted February 24, 2011 Beautiful hardware and oh yea the case! It maybe a little over the top for what I need to go the range, but I passed this on to a DPS friend. Thanks for the pics. Quote
Rezarf Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 I bought the VooDoo based on price alone. It has held up WAY BETTER than my expectations. It handles a lot of gear and is comfortable to the places I hike into to shoot at. I'd buy another tomorrow. Quote
Grizzman Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 I use either a basic scoped rifle soft case or my I-SHOT carbine/rifle case if I'll also be taking an AR. Grizz Quote
slider76 Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 I got the 5.11 single case on sale. I've only been to the range once with it, but it carried my pistol and hundreds of rounds of ammo for both the pistol and my benelli without any trouble. Quote
jpcdmd Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 The double-rifle Voodoo case is available from sportsmansguide(.com) for $49.97 for the 36" and $59.97 for the 42". These are just as high quality as the 5.11 if not better. They have black, digital, and coyote. They're kinda hard to find on the website, search for "mil-spec plus padded gun cases". They aren't labelled Voodoo on the page but you will recieve a Voodoo case, just read all the comments at the bottom of the page. The BEST deal on a double-rifle padded case! (couldnt post link due to low post count) Quote
dprichard Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Just got off the phone with 5.11. They suggested that the zipper getting stuck on the bag was user error. I am sending it back Monday so they can take a look. Quote
