Cargo Range Backpack & Stackhouse Pistol Case
We get to review a lot of different #firearms for AmmoLand News, but sometimes the accessories and gear that goes with these firearms is just as important and often overlooked. Every one of us probably has a digicam #NRA #rangebag that splits at the seams if you look at it sideways.
Firearms and ammunition, especially for a range day outing, carry a lot of weight and regardless of the distance from your vehicle to the firing line; you need a range bag or pistol box that can hold up to that. We took a look at two of these carriers that were capable of toting our handguns, ammunition, targets, ear and eye protection plus the rest of the stuff we need to send rounds downrange.
Both are from Flambeau and made in the USA. Flambeau Cargo Range Backpack: Sometimes I think I have more range bags than I have pairs of socks and every few years I try a new one out. This has resulted in broken cargo straps due to the weight or bags being cast aside for being too small. Flambeau sent us out their Cargo Range Backpack and after a few months I think it is the only range bag capable of eclipsing my beloved Waller bag that was stolen from my car a year ago.
The Flambeau Cargo Range Backpack is a lightweight black tactical-looking backpack configured for a day at the range. It includes 2 14″ flambeau hard sided pistol cases and 2 miniature ammo cans that store as many as 10 50-round boxes of 9mm. Both these ammo cans and the pistol cases include a patented anti-corrosion Zerust plaque to protect your firearm and ammunition from rust.
You need more than just guns and ammo to hit the range and the spacious “attic” top compartment easily holds your hearing and eye protection, stapler and other range necessities. A rubberized mesh pocket holds paper targets, 2 deep side pockets can hold a multi tool or other accessories but best of all (in that we have never seen this one before) is an interior waterproof pouch for storing liquid cleaning supplies such as oil or solvent.
