There are a ton of great single-rifle carrying cases out in soft and hard shell. Most list an impressive array of standard features, such as rugged design, water-resistant nylon, and plenty of pouches for the rifle and accessories. However, finding a carrying case that boasts all of that and room for a second rifle plus a few more surprises is a bit more challenging. There aren’t a lot of options out there. Recently, I found one that provides plenty of space for everything and includes some features I didn’t realize I needed until I played around and discovered how helpful they are. Enter the GPS Tactical 42” Double Rifle Case. This innovative case is more than just a storage solution; it’s a testament to meticulous design and practicality that caters to every aspect of a rifle owner’s needs.
A while back, I needed to carry my AR-15 and Henry .22LR lever-action rifle for a family range day, plinking some steel out on a friend’s farm. Rather than carrying them separately, I crammed them both into the same rifle bag, threw them into the trunk, and down the road we went. When we arrived, I pulled them out of the bag and discovered the AR left a few, shall we say, “use marks” on the Henry’s polished wood furniture. Thankfully, I think I can fix the dings and scratches. However, it made me sick when I looked at the damage, no matter how minor, to the finish of the beautiful rifle my wife gave me for my birthday. A case like the GPS Tactical 42” Double Rifle Case would have solved that problem. Here’s how.
Main Padded Double Rifle Slots
The main padded double rifle slots are at the heart of the GPS 42″ Tactical Double Rifle Case. These slots are thoughtfully designed to accommodate two rifles securely and comfortably. The plush padding ensures your valuable firearms are shielded from impacts and scratches, providing peace of mind during transport. The slots are spacious enough to house rifles up to 42″ in length, making them suitable for a wide range of firearms.
Full-Length Padded Divider
The full-length padded divider between the rifle slots is a standout feature of this case. It acts as a protective barrier, preventing any potential contact between the rifles. This pad eliminates the possibility of scratches or dings due to contact. This thoughtful addition showcases the manufacturer’s attention to detail and commitment to preserving the pristine condition of your firearms.
Hook-and-Loop Lockdown Straps
Incorporating hook-and-loop lockdown straps within the main slots has become standard on most rifle cases, so there’s no surprise they’re there. The GPS Tactical straps are super robust. These straps provide an additional layer of security, preventing any movement or shifting of the rifles during transit. This feature is especially crucial for those who often find themselves in rough terrain, ensuring their firearms remain in optimal condition regardless of external conditions.
External Double Pistol Pocket and 2 Large Padded Pistol Sleeves
Beyond its rifle storage capabilities, the GPS Rifle Case also caters to handgun owners. The external double pistol pocket is versatile and provides quick access to pistols. Moreover, the two large padded pistol sleeves offer a secure and cushioned space for handguns, complete with hook and loop fasteners to keep them in place. This comprehensive handgun storage solution sets the case apart from traditional rifle bags.
2 Zippered Pockets and 3 Exterior Accessory Pockets
Organization is paramount, and the GPS Tactical Rifle Case understands this need perfectly. The two zippered pockets offer concealed storage for sensitive items like documents, while the three exterior accessory pockets provide ample room for magazines, cleaning kits, and other essentials. This level of compartmentalization ensures that all your gear has its designated space, reducing clutter and enhancing accessibility.
Adjustable Padded Backpack Straps
Portability is a major factor in any rifle case, and the adjustable padded backpack straps of the GPS Rifle Case redefine convenience. Wearing the case as a backpack frees your hands. This makes navigating shooting ranges or other terrain easier. The strap padding enhances comfort during extended carrying periods.
600D Polyester Exterior and Interior Shell
The case’s durability is undeniable, thanks to its robust 600D polyester exterior and interior shell. This material choice ensures longevity and resistance against wear and tear. Setting it on the ground, rocks, tables, concrete, or most other surfaces won’t damage it. Also, polyester is naturally a bit water-resistant, so your guns will stay protected if you get caught in the rain.
MOLLE Compatible Webbing
The MOLLE-compatible webbing on both ends of the front opens up a world of customization, allowing you to attach additional accessories or pouches as needed. It’s a great way to carry a med kit, cleaning kit, or additional mag storage.
Woven Cinch Straps and Durable Side Release Buckles
The woven cinch straps and durable side-release buckles all over the case contribute to the case’s sturdiness and security. They are everywhere. That’s a good thing because they help keep all those helpful pouches closed and the tension off the zippers for a longer lifespan.
Lockable Zippers, Double-Stitched Seams, Morale Patch Panel
Security is paramount when it comes to firearms. The GPS Tactical Case addresses this with lockable zippers, offering an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access. The double-stitched seams speak volumes about the case’s build quality, emphasizing its resistance to fraying or tearing over time. The morale patch panel is a touch of personalization for users to showcase their individuality.
Hook-and-Loop Fasteners with Elastic Shock Cord
Incorporating hook-and-loop fasteners and elastic shock cords on mag pouches and flaps further amplifies the case’s versatility. All the mag pouches are double secured with shock cords to make sure those precious mags don’t fall out. These elements can secure various items, from spare magazines to tools, ensuring your essentials are always within reach and well-organized.

Its meticulous design, from the main padded double rifle slots to the multitude of pockets and straps, showcases a deep understanding of firearm owners’ needs.
