I have used several types over the years, I have been particularly disappointed by the Rush 12 I bought last year which has split on one of the seams already & I think they are over priced & somewhat over rated.

I have an older Eberlestock Gunslinger, which is as tough as old boots & is very comfortable even with the long gun in it, but its to large for what I need on most shooting days so is usually left behind in the loft.

One of the best I've seen is the CED bag sold by DoubleAlpha, it has a waterproof base & can also be trolly mounted if needed, lots of useful features but just like the 5.11 & Eberlestock they are not the cheapest.

Am I the only one who thinks that 150Euro is
a ridiculously large amount for a bag?

How on earth can that be justified and who on earth pays it?

Quite a few people from the numbers I see at matches, also the 5.11 Rush series of rucksacks are also close to that price point & the Eberlestock are far more, I dont have the double alpha bag but I have two 5.11 bags that were well over £80 each & an Eberlestock that was over £200, the irony is I use none of them for shooting, prefering instead a sportsman dry box by MTM that keeps everything dry & doubles up as a seat & at the time cost just £35

The double alpha bag is well made & is perfect for competition shooting where a range trolly can be employed, what may be considered expensive to some may not be to others.

Go with whatever your comfortable spending.
