Blue Haze Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 These seem like the only logical choice for F class given the firing point access for some ranges... Given that AIM now do a new 55" bag, would you opt for that, or does the extra length of the 60" have any other merit from those of you who have one?

DW58 Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Surely it all depends upon what barrel length you have or plan to add. The Ridgeline bags are a very good alternative. I have an AIM, my son has Ridgeline - they are very similar in design/quality/functionality, in my opinion the only deciding factor is availability and price. One advantage held by AIM is that they offer a special case for rifles with folding stocks, this is the model I have which allows for a long barrel but a much shorter overall length.

I've got a 60" AIM drag bag for sale if you're interested? Brand new and never used as too big; got it as an Xmas pressy a couple of years back and it's spent all it's time under a spare bed since!

triggersqueezer Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 only reason not to buy a 60 is if your a short ares like me because your pals will take the pee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aam Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 A number of chaps that shoot F/Open at my club have got the Aim 60, mind you they have got thirty and thirty two inch barrels. If you’re running a twenty six inch barrel the Aim 50 is the way to go. I got my AI AW in the Aim 50, with two inches to spare. Measure up your rifle and see if you need a fifty five or sixty bag.

Brushy Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 I've got an aim 60 - it is long but for me it was worth it. It means my 30 " barrelled 308 fits even with the ase ultra on the end. You won't be disappointed with an aim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swarovski1 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I find the term drag bag really annoying because I've not seen anybody dragging one.most are worried about it getting dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtrema Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 My Aim 55" gets dirty enough without dragging it around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarovski1 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Good man that's what I like to hear.i still think they should change the name to AIM range bag or something to that description.they are of good quality.i keep begrudging myself buying one because I would rather spend the money on more bullets etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 More confusion there Neil-there are already 'range bags'-sort of generic oblong bags for all the bits and pieces of small gear we seem to need. Should match the Aimbag/other make in colour.Olive green for shooters,black for tacticool,dark earth or coyote for....WHY? They come in pink,too-I'd think they would show dirt marks rather more,but just the thing for 'boys named Sue.' ** gbal ** "A Boy Named Sue " Johnny Cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarovski1 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Yes George.ive watched the programmes where they trained the snipers and belly crawled dragging the rifle bag behind them hence the words ( drag bag ).apart from the snipers I've not seen anybody else dragging one.to me a pointless name.

MJR Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 They are named due to their original use. Simple. If you want a range bag then err buy a range bag. If you want a sturdy means of carrying a rifle both by a handle or shoulder straps then buy a drag bag and Aim make a decent one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
