AllOutdoor’s 12 Days of Christmas Day 4: Range Bags
Luke Cuenco 12.13.21
Range bags are one of the few items that we often don’t think about too often. While you could easily get away with owning just one or two range bags, I find that the more I shoot the more I like having a specific gun case for each of my firearms. That way I can keep specific firearms with their own ammunition, tools, magazines, and ammunition. This method has worked for me as it keeps all of my stuff organized both at home and at the range. That being said I also like to give out range bags as gifts to new gun owners so that they have something nice to carry to the range with them rather than just the standard plastic boxes their guns came with. So if you’re looking to pick up a new range bag or know a new gun owner who might want or need one, check out this list of some of the best range bags for rifles, pistols, and shotguns.

MidwayUSA Waxed Canvas Pistol Range Bag Olive Brown
This classy-looking pistol range bag is the perfect size for carrying one or two pistols plus ammo to the range with you while still having room for your eye and ear protection. The waxed canvas exterior is not only weather-resistant, but also looks less “tacticool” than a lot of other range bags you’ll see and thus it’ll be far less conspicuous if you live in an area where the sight of a range bag might alarm people.
- Classic waxed canvas exterior
- Plus micro suede interior
- Leather Handles
- Removable padded shoulder strap
- Nylon YKK Zippers
- Internal Magazine Slots
- On sale for $129.99 at MidwayUSA
