Quick gear review on the Savior gun carry bag I bought.
Good points:
* the 36" bag is what i bought, it will fit 2 AR rifles, or a combination of EVO/AR/Sig522
* you could carry 2/3 pistols in the front bag portion, or supplies for cleaning, adjustment wrenches, mag reloader, etc
* there are 2 separate pouch type bags on the front as well where you could carry muffs, glasses. gloves....
* storage area for rifles, both compartments have 2 velcro straps to secure the rifles in place
* carry handle is padded as is a second singular carry strap, I see no reasonable way to use it though (too heavy of a load)
* The back of the bag is padded the full length, rests comfortably against your back when carrying backpack style.
Bad points:
* it gets heavy fast, I was shocked at how heavy the bag got with the 2 rifles in the bag
* the backpack style shoulder straps do not have a lot of padding, almost none. They do have a chest strap and buckle.
* the zippers are not as heavy as I would like, they might be self repairing but I think they will hold up
* the stitching I hope will hold up for me. When I look at the philosophy of use.....get my guns from house to car and car to
range in an organized manner and reverse...I should be okay there
* the molle on the front pocket is for looks only, no way I would mount anything there. It should have been done right or not
at all.
* the back pack straps may not be long enough to comfortably fit your shoulders if you are an extra large individual, ymmy
With heavier zippers and stitching, the case would be hands down the best on the market at that price point, would gladly have paid an additional $25 for heavier zippers. Will it replace a range bag? I would say no and here is why.....me personally, ammo, holsters, mags, mag loaders, refreshments, med kit. What this bag WILL do is assist you in keeping a range trip organized by keeping equipment organized. I do not recommend carrying loaded mags in the rifle bag with the guns, the weight would be excessive, risk of a stitch failure due to overload. As I have things now, my range bag is the deluxe? Midway bag that has the holsters, mag carriers, PPE, small boxed ammo (my 9mm and 5.56/.223 is bought in bulk and stored/carried in a ammo box) (I pre load the mags before going to range), mag loaders, target stapler, etc. I have a separate sort of tool bag that came with the range bag that is now the magazine bag, it is getting heavy with all mags in it being pre loaded. It will still take me 2 trips from car to range.
I'll know for sure if it is GTG or thumbs down after a few range trips. Right now, looks okay.
