I've got an old Kilwell padded bag that has lasted fairly well, but the zip slider broke yesterday :o
The Chinesium crap like Buffalo River and Outdoor Outfitters simply don't last - and I am not that hard on gear!
Any suggestions on other options for durable, quality soft bags for rifles ?
I’m really impressed with this one unsure on the price though https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6639225bd3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...00c70c4873.jpg

Buy another slider.
My Plano is the one I use the most for my shorter rifles.
Reasonably well padded and good zipped compartments.
@Gusto HOWEVER, the complete rubber (?) end cap on mine came adrift one day which didn't impress. All repaired now with Ados F2 and I'm confidant it won't fail again.
The rest of it is well constructed.

Got a spika one honeycomb foam inside seems ok hade several trips away as well as range visits
For times as these, buy a padded base guitar case with shoulder carry straps. Mine even takes my long T38 and is great to carrying through the forest to the NZDA range, and less eye catching taking it from house to car.
Paint some flowers and peace signs on it, just to remember the CND.
The slider can be replaced easy peasy. BUT, you will need to find somebody that deals with/makes/repairs items that have zips. Maybe a saddler or canvas type manufacturer in your area will be able to help. If I was still in the trade I could help you out, but been away too long. Do you still have the broken slider? If so, it should have a number or letter on the underside. There are several different types of zips, as well as different sliders. Am assuming your zip is a "coil" type, not the plastic toothed type.
