Don’t need an expensive rifle case? Allen Gun Cases might be the answer

Allen Gun Casesgun socksPistol RugsI often suggest people buy gun cases based upon the value of the firearm as well as the price of the optics you have on it because there are plenty of hunting stores I’ve heard of guys knocking their rifle scopes around in a car and finding out it’s not holding zero.  There are also the stores of people putting scratch marks up the stocks or scratching the objective lenses on rifle scopes from the simplest mistakes.   Scope Covers are very important for keeping your lenses and clean as possible but from my experience, it’s to avoid getting the lenses scratched because dust and moisture is always going to be around.   I have assault rifle cases for all of my semi-auto rifles and keep the magazines with the case and mark down which gun it is for, but I also keep several Allen Gun Socks around when I am transporting my shotguns or bolt action rifles with iron sights and need something to cover it while heading to the range and help keep it from looking like a firearm incase I have to stop and get something to eat and my stuff in the car isn’t in plain sight.

If you can’t afford to get a good range bag that can hold multiple handguns, ammunition or sight in tools ect, having a pistol rug for your scoped .357 Magnum or 44 Magnum is about $10 or less and it gives you plenty of protection while in storage.   If you look at the Allen Gun Cases we have to offer, there is also a tactical gun sock that works well for many scoped long guns and it definitely won’t break the bank.   After that, soft gun cases for rifles and then Pelican and SKB gun cases are the direction you want to go but that’s your call.   Keep in mind that if you aren’t using your gun cases they are going to take up room in your closet or gun safe so try to be uniform when you are looking to purchase your pistol cases or rifle cases because it’ll be easier to match up guns with gun cases and not have to scurry around trying to find one when you are trying to head out to the range.

Soft cases and inexpensive gun cases are good enough!

allen gun casesThere are plenty of products that we sell that I personally don’t use but many of our customers find them useful.   Uncle Mike’s products are good for the people that want something like that, but I have my preferences in what I buy for myself as far as tactical nylon.   I feel the higher end products are more along the lines of what I want to use.   I have several Uncle Mike’s and Bulldog assault rifle cases because at the time I was purchasing them, I was just looking for an AK47, AR15 or Mini 14 bag that I could store the magazines with the gun.  I have learned to label everything in this industry because many firearm magazine especially 223 magazines look more and more alike.   We recently heard that Magpul is making an AK47 PMAG which will make it even hard to identify some of your rifle mags and taking the wrong magazines to the range can ruin your day trip, I know I have done this.

There are Bulldog gun cases that can be had for pistols and even scoped pistols for a very inexpensive price range.   Some of the Allen gun cases are in the $30+ range and you can get a nice AR15 or Mini 14 gun case that holds your 30rd mags.  You can fit 20rds in there but they will sit at the bottom of the case.   If this is all you need to do, then that’s all you need to do.    The scabbared rifle cases are something that I see people use to transport lever action rifles or even just an iron sighted 22LR.  For handguns the pistol rung or the molded pistol cases will also get the job done and for a very low price.   It’s all about what you want to spend and what you think you’re going to get out of it.

The differences between all of that tactical nylong companies

bulldog gun casesI will admit first off that we sell a ton of nylon gear, bags, molle and holsters from a great many manufacturers.   There are differences in quality and you do get what you pay for, but the truth of the matter is that nylon is not going to cost you what some of the leather or customer kydex holsters are going to so you are more than likely going to get a less expensive item.   We  have a large selection of belt clip  holsters because so many people come into our store and need a holster but they don’t really have any particular brand or style.   Some of the IWB holsters are ambidextrous and this pretty common in this industry.   We have Bulldog, Uncle Mike’s, Elite Survival Systems and even some of the Voodoo tactical products.  Some of the range bags from Bulldog are very simple and there products are reasonable priced.

Instead of using a rifle sock, I’m a big fan of the Bulldog Economy gun cases because they offer more protection and have handles and they are practically in the same price range is a rifle sock.   I usually transport my 22 Caliber rifles or my Remington 870 shotgun in my Bulldog gun cases because they are very long but not high value rifles so there is no need for me to drop $100 on a heavily padded rifle case because I have $2000 tied up with a carbine and it’s fancy Trijicon ACOG optics.  There are several range bags, gun cases, pocket holsters, shoulder holsters and even some tactical holsters that are definitely pick me ups.
