Hi Sam! And to think, I thought all intelligent human beings had been extinct from the internet.

Do you mind dropping me a line (thru email, or AIM [SN= "BestTemplar"])?

It's so rare to find someone with a functioning brain and experience in the field to talk to about sniper systems, scope configuration, stalking techniques et cetera.

Hi, I've built 3 rifle bags; one to be used as a "drag bag". 1.Dimensions depend on a. weapon size b. delivery / deployment use

2.Lay out of pockets? If you ever really had to drag your weapon, you'd cut ALL the freaking exterior pockets off!! I spent 18 months crawling across Germany, Panama, Rep. of Honduras, and parts of Finland. Low crawling with ANYTHING dragging behind you is immensly distracting... exterior pockets just add to the folliage that snags the rifle bag.

A "drag bag" is for dragging, but the commercial ons are just fancy "carry bags" billed as useful stuff for snipers... maybe Walter Middy snipers... A real rifle container meant to be deployed with a military sniper should be durable (coated heavy canvas), slick sidded (no exterior pockets), have a heavy-duty nose loop (to tie drag ropes to), with NO velcro (too freaking noisy), a heavy duty, self repairing zipper, and as thin/narrow as possible (so it won't snag on 'wait-a-minute- vines'). For airborne/parachute insertions... screw the 1950 weapons case mentality. Your barrel will never survive. Put your rifle in a Pelican case (model 1750), rig it as a "titty bundle", and follow it out the aircraft door. [Be sure to strap an MP5A4 or mini M4 to your body in case the scoped gun goes AWOL during deployment.]

On the other hand, if you are a civilian, Dean, forget all that "dragbag" crap and buy a dependable, pretty rifle base to compliment you Chevy Shortbed. Rangers Lead the Way!

First, what enviroment while the drag bag used in? Second, whatever works best for you and your weapons system, after all you are customizing. I do agree there are several DB's on the market, which have been tested and range in many styles and prices. The best advise is keep it simple. Good luck.
