First Thoughts on the G*Outdoors Double Rifle Case Black 600D Polyester 28″ L x 12.75″ H x 9″ W

As an avid shooter and outdoorsman, transporting my firearms safely and securely is paramount. The GOutdoors Double Rifle Case Black 600D Polyester 28″ L x 12.75″ H x 9″ W promised a solution for carrying multiple rifles and pistols in a compact and organized manner. GOutdoors aims to provide practical solutions for firearm storage and transport. Its advertised features of padded compartments, MOLLE compatibility, and lockable zippers piqued my interest.

My main challenge was finding a case that could accommodate both my AR-15 and a scoped hunting rifle, along with a couple of handguns. I needed a case that offered ample protection without being overly bulky or cumbersome. The G*Outdoors case seemed to strike a good balance between size and functionality.

Upon receiving the case, my initial impressions were positive. The 600D polyester felt robust and durable, and the overall design seemed well-thought-out. The weight was reasonable, suggesting adequate padding without being overly heavy. It was packaged simply, with no unnecessary frills, which I appreciate.

Compared to a hard-sided case I’d been using, the GOutdoors case offered a more flexible storage solution and was significantly lighter. Compared to a basic single-rifle soft case, the GOutdoors case provided much better organization and protection for multiple firearms. I chose this case for its versatility, organizational features, and promise of durability at a reasonable price point of $54.99.

I was cautiously optimistic. The 600D polyester construction and overall design suggested a durable and functional case. I was eager to put it to the test and see how it performed in real-world conditions.

First Use Experience

My first experience with the G*Outdoors Double Rifle Case Black 600D Polyester 28″ L x 12.75″ H x 9″ W was at my local shooting range. I transported my AR-15 and a bolt-action .308 rifle, along with two pistols. The case performed admirably, securely holding each firearm in its designated compartment. The *Hook & Loop lockdown straps* kept the rifles from shifting during transport.

The weather was slightly damp, but the 600D polyester seemed to repel the moisture effectively. Setting up at the range was streamlined due to the organized layout of the case. I did not need extra time getting used to it; the layout was pretty obvious.

The only slight issue was the pistol pocket feeling a little cramped with two full-sized handguns inside. However, this was manageable. I found the lockable zippers added an extra layer of security.

After several months of regular use, the G*Outdoors Double Rifle Case Black 600D Polyester 28″ L x 12.75″ H x 9″ W has held up remarkably well.

I’ve used the case in both hot and cold weather, and the material has shown no signs of degradation. Cleaning is simple; a damp cloth is usually sufficient to remove any dirt or debris. I did once spill some oil inside and the 600D polyester cleaned up surprisingly well, preventing staining.

Compared to a previous, cheaper soft case I owned, the G*Outdoors case offers superior protection and organizational features. I am impressed with its durability and overall performance.
