Looks nice, but a bit expensive. I use the US Peacekeeper bags.

I bought a bag that Carry’s two. Works great for the two M4s, but is now even more nice since I added an AR-10.  It can get heavy though.

That is a nice case. I really like the "coffin-style" opening, where the lid flips open without weight on it. I have a Viktos case like that and it's really a nice feature.

Where are these bags made?

I went to the website for US Peacekeepers and while they are much cheaper than what I posted, it doesn't appear in their About Us page that they manufacture in the US - otherwise they would have likely highlighted that as a selling point 

I suspect that these are outsourced to cheaper labor countries. I could be wrong as I dont have samples to check with, however several of the items I looked at said Imported.

To each his/her own on where they spend their money, but I'd rather choose to spend on US made whenever practical and possible along the same quality level.

I don't know where they are made. I have a few of them and have been pleased with the quality. For long gun cases it's either these or Pelican for me.

Made in USA is certainly preferred. I do try hard to not buy anything made in China.

Not an owner and the description says “Made in the USA” but it’s described as “discreet”. Not sure I’d agree with that. However looks perfectly usable as a range bag.

Its certainly more discrete than say a Pelican which screams firearms, or a branded bag that Benelli makes, or a camo inspired bag.

People who know, will always know. Its to not draw attention of the suburban soccer moms and libs.

I like, "hidden in plain sight". I have a Shockwave case that I put embroidered patches on; they read, "Love, Peace & Clarinet". I think I'll get a clarinet pin or two for it as well. Do I play clarinet? No, but the implication is there. With a bit of creativity you could easily disguise this bag, I'm seriously considering getting one, thanks for posting it!

Want a great pistol case you can leave in your car that no one will bother? Get the fruitiest child's lunchbag you can find at Walmart, put a piece of tape on it with Timmy or Joanie written on it. No one will break in for that! Lol, I'm giving away all my secrets...

[Suplize]

I bought this one from Amazon. Holds 2 long guns and for approx $70. Can be used as a backpack. Works great so far.

I ordered one of these, got it today and it's very nice. It doesn't really look like a gun case which is what I wanted, very non-descript. I am going to put a couple LaCrosse patches on it as it's my new "racquet case", lol; hidden in plain sight! Made in the U.S.A. is a bonus as well.

Could you take some pics of this case in some closeups?

What kind of zippers does it use? YKK?

Are there storage pockets or velcro for attaching additional shell cards (esstac)?

Thanks

I can, but give me a few days, I'm on the road right now.

The zippers say "Ideal" but they seem to work just fine, need a bit of breaking in but that's normal. There are 2 zippered storage pockets in the lid. The bottom is a sort of quilted material which accepts velcro hooks so the 3 removeable straps can be placed at any angle, you could also attach shotshell cards on it. It really is about as stealth as can be for a long, flat carrier; it doesn't have tactical pockets on the outside. Again, I am putting a couple "Lacrosse" patches on the outside which is quite plausible for this carrier, people will assume that's what's inside.

Anyone have pictures of a smaller case for SBS? The M4 Entry, collapsed is 30.5”.

Perhaps go to Lynx Defense and see whats available in that size? They do have different gun bags available with pictures and measurements

How is the padding/protection? Is it worth the $275?

It is well padded all around, I don't have it with me now but I'd say 1/2 - 3/4 inch of padding. Worth is a relative thing, to me it is. I like the coffin style lid and that it does not look "tactical" with a bunch of external pockets and backpack carry straps; I can disguise it easily and for my purpose that is very desirable, plus, it's American made. To me, yes it's worth it but YMMV.

[brightt]

those savior bags for 60-75$ are the business, hard to beat from what I have used

[Jonnylaw]

Purchased along with a Pelican im3200 for a near perfect fit. 

 

[CobraBG]

I like it. Looks good!

[Jbbooks]

I bought a lawn chair bag for carrying my M4. While traveling the bag doesn’t garner a second look in the backseat of the truck.  At the end of the travel day, I grab the bag and walk back to the camper. Looks just like an RVer carrying their lawn chair!  The zipper and the bag is plenty heavy duty and above all else does not scream ‘gun’.
