Hands-On Experience

The Savior American Classic Rifle Bag feels pretty light when it’s empty, but that changes quickly once it’s fully loaded. With two rifles, two handguns, and ammo or mags in the pockets, the weight adds up fast. The clips though are durable plastic and surprisingly tough, and the zippers don’t feel cheap, they’re solid, with eyelets on both zippered pockets so you can add locks for extra security. I love the rope attached to them which help make them easy to grab.

The shoulder straps are the best feature for me. They allow you to wear the bag like a backpack. They’re very well padded and are a must for when it’s fully loaded to help carry the weight comfortably. Even the larger bags sit in a well balanced spot on your back keeping from knocking your calves into it when walking, just watch out for those doorways they might get you. The only drawback is the back panel, it could use more padding, especially with larger rifles. When it’s fully loaded, the bag doesn’t sit quite flat against my back, which is more noticeable with the bigger sizes.

Inside, the design is simple but functional. The Velcro straps are high quality and hold the rifles securely, and the padded divider does its job well, keeping the rifles from hitting each other. I like that the bag lays flat when opened; it’s easy to access whichever rifle I need. The material itself feels high quality. I’ve tossed it in and out of a pickup bed and thrown it around on rocky terrain, and it’s still intact with no rips or no loose threads only a bit of dirt on the exterior.

Aesthetically, OD Green is my favorite, though all the colors look good. Overall, I’m happy with these bags. They’ve become my go-to for traveling the past year. My only tip? Store them flat or on their side. I kept the 51” bag standing straight up, and now there’s a slight bend about a quarter of the way up from folding over on its self.
