varmartin Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 The AIM 50/60 are about as good as they get ...Border do a version of it, and i hear it is made by the same company ? £120-130 should get you one that will last for ever...When is the next gamefair in your area ? thats where i got my AIM....£120 ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir-slots-alot Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Dont bother with the shitty Garlands drag bag. I have 2 of them and the zips are knackered on them both ATB Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Aim are excellent bags. I bought one of the very first that John did, and its going strong still....and it gets some hammer. I have 2 of the little 40,s for the AR,s, and a 50, and a 60 for the .338. Excellent kit indeed. We sell plenty of them. Whilst folk initially balk a little at the price, once they are shown all the attributes of the bag, it sells its self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldie Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 John operates a policy of not undercutting his stocking retailers, which is to applauded in this day and age. An AIM bag will cost you the same regardless of where you buy one i believe. He also sponsors the "f" lass comps with prizes, again, a rare thing today. He is a smashing guy, and a big supporter of shooting, and the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skany Posted May 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 thanks again guys I hada bit of dropage on my bagged hmr wich resulted in some damage to the swift scope that it wears!(managed to open up the zoom ring slot with a flat blad screw driver ) if it was either of my cf's things could have been a damn site worse! I see some mention of a extra barrel suport on the newer bags so think ill go straight to the main man then cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaitsev Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 You may also consider the Arktis one. Ive had mine for three years now and it does get some abuse. It used to be american woodland pattern but it's now an improved 'British Mudland' Cheers G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skany Posted May 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 bugger just measured my rifle(the longer one) & it come out at 48.5" with the brake on & 51.5 with the t8 fitted! I was hoping to have the mod screwed on ready to rock wich would mean having a shed load of space left at the top if i went with the 60" bag! If i did run a 60" bag would t be flaping back in forth in the bag or would it still stay put! Or shall i jsut keep the t8 in a pocket & live with the fact i need to fit it on whn needed &use the 50" bag! hmmmm wht to do..... cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldie Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 All aim bags have a MOLLE system of straps that are positionable inside the case. A rifle can be strapped in 100% securely, regardless of its length. Dont worry about the extra length, its of no consequence to the rifle whatsoever.

bigun Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Dont bother with the shitty Garlands drag bag. I have 2 of them and the zips are knackered on them both ATB Alan to true ..shame really as they would be ok if the zips were any good and a bit more padding ,would still be a good price if they put £30 on top if they did the above work ..but like you have said they have bad zips and first bit of crud in the zip and there done for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
