The 10 Best Range Bags
Going to the gun range is important. Not only do we go to practice, train, and become more responsible gun owners…but we go because we enjoy it as well. Finding the best range bag for you is also very important.
Below are some of the best range bags around at different price levels. It is important to remember, however, that each of those listed below also serve different needs. Read on to find out which one best matches your needs.
The 10 Best Range Bags
Our list contains bags that span many different price points, as well as many different needs. While some may need a bag for one or two pistols and not much else, others may need room for a rifle, shotgun, extra eye/ear protection, etc.
I use a couple of different bags depending on what I am going to the range for that day. Usually I use my medium sized bag, however when I take my rifle I use my larger 3V Gear Double rifle case. It just depends on what tool you need for the job.
Vertx COF Range Bags
The Vertx COF Range Bag is sort of the high class luxury car of range bags. With that luxury comes the price. While the price may be a little steep for some, others may see the value for them just right.
Vertx is known for their high quality firearm bags. Their backpack can also be found on our best backpack list and it also remains a high seller due to the very high quality design, materials, and craftsmanship.

This bag functions great for anyone who is heading to the range with a few handguns and lots of magazines. You also have room for all the other necessities such as eye/ear pro, first aid, and of course ammo!

G.P.S. Rolling Range Bag
Another option from G.P.S. is this rolling range bag. If you take as much ammo as I do to the range, then you know your bag can get pretty heavy. This rolling range bag can save some stress on your back.
The wheels on this bag are over-sized ATV wheels made to travel on rough surfaces…even gravel! If you go to the range with tons of gear, this bag may be for you.

3V Gear Ranger Double Rifle Case
This is the bag I take to the range when I am bringing my rifle and some handguns. It has plenty of room for everything you may need at the range.
Behind the front three large pockets is a large compartment to store a few handguns…as well as other items. I also keep a few targets in there as well. Then in the last large compartment you have storage for two rifles/shotguns. You can choose the 36″ or 42″ depending on your needs.
I am able to bring 2 sets of hearing protection, extra eye pro, ammo, magazines, first aid kit, a few hand guns, two rifles, and MUCH more. I LOVE this bag! Not only do I own it, I also own 3 backpacks from 3V Gear…great quality for the price!

Smith & Wesson MP Tactical Range Bag
So many features! Of course, if you have a Smith & Wesson firearm this will be a great option, but don’t limit yourself. This is a great bag for anyone.
As seen in the images below (and above) you will have room for all your range accessories. I love the compartment that is removable. Being able to slide that right out and place it on the bench at the range is awesome!
This bag sits about the middle of the road for price. However, when it comes to quality…you know Smith & Wesson will treat you right.

Osage River Tactical Range Bag
This is one of the most popular range bags on Amazon. One reason may be it has a very affordable price. However, price is not the only thing this bag has going for it. It holds a ton of items for your range visit and has a great set up.
Osage River is doing something right because this bag currently has a rating of 4.7 stars out of 5 on Amazon. People love this bag!
