Tactical Shooting Bags are

Uncle Mikes Rifle CasesRogue Elite.net is your source for Uncle Mike’s Gun Cases. Whether you’re looking for a new shooting bag or tactical rifle case here’s the place to shop for them. Uncle Mikes Tactical Rifle Cases come in 2 sizes. The medium case is 33″x10″ (838 x 254 mm) inside and the arge case is 41″ x 10″ (1041 x 254 mm) inside. The Uncle Mike’s Tactical Rifle cases also hold 3-5 magazines. 3 AR15 or AK Magazines in the medium and 5 AR15 or AK Magazines in the large. We also carry the Uncle Mikes Pistol Rug cases. See the Uncle Mike’s range bags to help organize your handgun or shooting accessories.
A friend of mine owns various caliber Kalashnikov rifles.   The SAR I, SAR II and the SAR III.   For those not familier with the Carbine, they are 3 calibers of basically the same style gun.   He picked up the Large Tactical Rifle Case to keep his 30rd magazines organized.  The SAR I is 7.62×30, SARII is 5.45×39 and the SAR III is 5.56×45.   It is possible get the magazines mixed up and the easiest thing for him to do is  mark each bag with the caliber of the rifle and then just keep 5 mags in the bag.   Granted you may own more magazines, but how often are you going to need to bring more than 5 mags to the range with you?   The bag sling is also a plus.   If you keep loaded magazines in  your Uncle Mikes Rifle Case the bag can get heavy and the sling mags it a little easier to carry.

The Plinkers Optics

Tasco RiflescopesSome of the Tasco optics can in a 1″ or 3/4″  tube so make sure you put some thought into what kind of size you need and get the proper scope rings. Tasco Pronghorn Rifle Scope 3-9X 40 30/30 Matte 1″ is a great scope to start out with.  There are a few tasco riflescopes that are good for Varmint hunting, too.   The Tasco Target Rifle Scope 6-24X 42 Illuminated Mil-Dot Matte has an illuminated reticle for even more possibilities.

Hopefully I don’t sound demeaning in calling Tasco riflescopes a plinkers scope, but I gotta be honest.  They are. and they are possible one of the best starting scopes any shooter can begin with.  Riflescopes can cost in the thousands of dollars, but not everyone needs a combat optic that can see the rings around Neptune.

Armed with 91yrs of Experience

Nikon RiflescopeChoosing the right riflescope is as important as choosing the right rifle – many experts agree that it can be even more critical to the success of a hunt. The fact that most rifles today no longer come equipped with iron sights is testament alone to the need for a telescopic sight, but it is the quality of the sight that can make the difference between getting your riflescope’s crosshairs on a trophy or going home empty handed.

Armed with 91 years of experience and a clean sheet of paper, our engineers created a flagship Nikon riflescope that shattered the limits of what a riflescope should be. Hunters lined up to get their hands on the new Nikon Monarch scope and experience this pioneering technology.

Alternative Hunting Gear

tactical gearThough most people wouldn’t consider this an option, it’s pertinent to use some of the same equipment police and law enforcement use for civil defense for hunting expeditions. Gear like rifle bags, holsters, duffels, and multi-packs can make great additions to a hunting equipment repertoire.  For example, using a rifle bag to store your hunting rifles and ammunition provides easy access, and keeps your equipment safe and organized when not in use.  In addition, most tactical gear has a multitude of pockets and pouches that can be used to store other essential hunting equipment like scent maskers, compasses, flashlights, and animal calling instruments.

You won’t find tactical gear in most stores, but it’s available from several online vendors, and makes an excellent addition to a hunting set.  In some cases it can work even better than the equipment hunting manufacturers make!

Looking up and beyond

Bushnell BinocularsI picked up a pair of 10×42 H2O Binocular 10X 42 Standard Water-Proof, Porro Prism Black Rubber this year and I’m reliving my childhood explorations.   A good pair of binoculars can be used for anything from 4th of July viewing, hunting, bird watching, Stargazing or being a part of the neighborhood watch.    I know a neighbor that was able to bust a drug dealer with a pair of binoculars and he used it to help relay info to a 911 dispatcher which helped the arresting police officer know where a weapon was hidden.   Would you pay $80 to do all of that?

When I was a kid I use to look at the stars through some of the cheapest optics around.   I remember the first time I looked through my Uncle’s Bushnell Binoculars and I was amazed at how clear the stars and the sky could be seen.    There’s a big difference between all of the differing brands and levels of optics, but for most practical purposes there is a pretty broad middle of the road.   My Uncles optics were a pair of Bushnell binoculars and he’s had them for decades

Who let the Bulldogs out?

Bulldog Gun Case I was talking to a friend of mine who recently picked up a Bulgarian SA93 and was looking to start taking it the range over the weekend.   He mentioned that some of the AK mags he had for his new rifle didn’t seem to fit properly.   I told him that he might want to go through his AK gun collection and match the mags that work to the guns.   I went through this ordeal several years ago and sometimes people think that stockpiling a bunch of surplus AK mags means comfort, but the reality is that every magazine manufacturer and every gun manufactuer are going to have various tolerances concerning the magwell.

One way to deal with this issue is to test  your mags with a particular gun,  I recommend that people pick up something like the Bulldog Extreme Assault Case for every semi-auto they own.   Rarely do people talk about magazine storage, but every Bulldog Gun Case that was designed for an AK or AR type of rifle can store magazines and although it may not hold more than half a dozen mags or so you’ll know the magazines that are in the bag work for the gun if you do your testing.

Transporting guns from one place to another

Gun Guard Gun CaseWhether you’re looking to protect your guns for travelling to the shooting range, on a hunting trip, or just looking to protect it from getting knocked around in  your closet, Gun Guard gun cases are an option for you.   Gun Guard gun cases are not going to burn a hole in your pocket either.    There is a time and place for using a soft case to carry your guns around, but unless you’re really worried about your guns suriving a 5000ft drop from an airplane, there’s not reason to be spending hundreds of dollars on a hard case.

A Gun Guard Gun Cases can be used for rifles of various lengths an for shotguns.   There are also single Plano Special Edition Single Scoped Pistol/Access Black Hard 13″ x 9.5″ x 2.5″ and multiple handgun case options  Plano Special Edition 4 Pistol/Access Black Hard 16.5X14X.  Even if you’re going to store your handguns in a safe, buying a multiple handgun case may be a great way of organzing things.

Protect and organize your guns

Gun CasesAssault rifle case cases can also hold ammo and store sight in tools, too.    Uncle Mike’s also has an inexpensive line of rifle cases that can hold anything from a collapsed M4 Carbine to a full size A2.   The soft cases are soft, but can still be folded in half to be used as a rest if you’re will to be creative on the firing line.

Sometimes people think a gun case is for transporting your firearm from your home to the range.   Many tactical gun cases can actually help keep your gun and gear all in one case.     There are several gun cases that can hold 3 or more rifle magazines and its a great way to keep your magazines organized.   I personally like to store my 5.45×39 magazines in a Bulldog Hybrid assualt case and mark the bag, that way I can just grab the rifle from storage and throw it in the bag knowing my mags are already there.

The Element of Surprise Is on Your Side

asp pepper sprayIt’s unfortunate that circumstances force so many women to take special safety precautions after dark. In an ideal world, muggers, perverts and other dangerous characters would all be kept under lock and key. However, it’s essential for ladies to be pragmatic. Simply clutching a set of keys in one’s hand isn’t always enough to dissuade assailants from attacking in a dark parking lot or on a woodland trail.

If you must venture out alone at night in a suspect area of town, the best course of action is to pack some ASP pepper spray. Even if you don’t hold the physical advantage over your attacker, you do have the element of surprise on your side. Attackers are often reckless and overconfident enough to believe that they are attacking a defenseless victim. What a shock it will be when they get a full-force spray of red-hot blindness to the eyes!
