Beretta682EScope bags
Has anyone used a scope bag like this one from Larue
http://www.larue.com/scope-bags?sort=popularAny other brands I should also look at ?
I am think of something to transport primary and spare scope. They will be on a blaser saddle mounts.
Do they offer any real protection?
Thanks

sambarman338The bags kinda assume you are going to be taking the scope off and putting it on with some regularity - I prefer the American outlook.

butchloci would suggest getting a new bag - scoping out an old bag is not necessarily recommended

- well you asked for something helpful

Beretta682EMaybe simpler question is what do people transport their spare scope in ?
Mossberg crowd might say an old sock.
For shooters with higher end optics - what is the best way to cart a spare scope.
Thanks

sambarman338These containers look a bit bulky to fit in a gun case with the rifle. I've cut some foam out of my old case, to fit my spare scope (steel), which I wrap in thin, closed-cell foam, inside a synthetic 'canvas' bag with draw cord.

carpetman1I carry my spare in one of my jock straps. Even large, very large scopes leaves plenty of room for packing material.

Does this suppose some relationship between the size of the scope and the jock strap?

carpetman1Sambarman---Probably some hyperbole, well ok a whole bunch of hyperbole.

Blaser does not discriminate against female hunters.

Right handed and left handed shooters.
What a great gun - but the mosberg crowd is stuck in its old ways

Beretta682EFinlly ordered them from Larue
Expensive at $60 a bag.
But worth it to transport $1000-$2000 plus scopes.
