The SL-E899 model of the Soft Rifle Bag differs from the cone-shaped shotgun bags. It features a straight-cut design combined with a raised receiver area to solve the problem of tight zippers and torn seams when storing rifles with sights. The outer material is 600D waterproof Oxford fabric, with full-length cushioning foam and a soft polyester lining inside. It can buffer vehicle jolts and vibrations, reducing the risk of aiming scope damage and gun body scratches. It comes with a full-length zipper, a front secondary pocket, and a detachable shoulder strap.
The Soft Rifle Bag offers multiple customization options. It can be adjusted based on the trial fitting of the customer's actual firearm. The depth of the receiver position, the length and width of the inner compartment, and the thickness of the foam can be modified. The fleece lining, custom color schemes, and numbered tags can be upgraded. Various brand processes such as screen printing, heat transfer printing, and embroidery are available.
SL-E899 rifle configuration
A shotgun tapers sharply from buttstock to muzzle. A rifle carries a mounted optic that adds height across the receiver and keeps a more uniform depth along its length. Using a shotgun-cut case for a scoped rifle is where zippers get strained and seams split at the receiver.
| Dimension | Shotgun Cut | Rifle Cut |
| Profile | Sharp taper toward the muzzle | Straighter, more even along the length |
| Receiver area | Standard depth | Additional clearance for a mounted optic |
| Closing over an optic | Often strains the zipper | Closes without forcing |
| Suits | Break-action, pump, semi-auto shotguns | Bolt-action, semi-auto, precision rifles |
The clearance figure is the specification most worth confirming before an order. Large-objective scopes and elevated mounts sit higher than standard optics, and a case that closes over one will not necessarily close over the other.
Standard optics. The stock rifle cut closes without forcing over a conventional scope and mount.
Large objective or elevated mounts. Specify increased clearance depth at the receiver section, and send a reference rifle so we can test-fit the sample rather than working from a drawing.
Bipods attached. Folded bipods often clear, but profiles vary considerably. Flag this at sampling so internal width can be set correctly.
Foam protects the stock and barrel from knocks, and it also damps the vibration a rifle takes on a long drive over rough roads — one of the factors that works against a mounted optic over a season. It reduces vibration and impact; it is a soft case rather than a rigid one and does not eliminate all handling risk.

| Check | Method | Frequency |
| Incoming material | Visual and dimensional | Every batch |
| Optic clearance | Test fit against reference profile | Sampling |
| Foam placement | Visual through the receiver section | 100% |
| Stitch quality | Alignment and density | In-process |

| Strap and handle | Pull test | Sampling |
| Packaging | Carton verification | 100% |
| Test | Method | Outcome |
| Scoped rifle fit | Cased with a scoped bolt-action and closed | Optic cleared the padding; no zipper strain |
| Movement in transit | Weighted test piece carried over uneven roads | Fit held the rifle stable; no contact wear developed |
| Padding impact | Controlled knock with a weighted mock rifle | Absorbed; no damage to contents |
| Water-resistance | Surface spray on the outer fabric | Shed surface water; interior stayed dry |
| Zipper cycle | Repeated full-length operation | Ran smoothly; closed fully |
| Strap load | Suspended load cycles | No deformation or stitching failure |
| Abrasion | Contact with benches, cargo floors, and bark | Cosmetic wear only |
The construction is stitched with a standard coil zipper. Water-resistance is surface spray based and the bag is not immersion tested or rated for submersion.
Big game and backcountry rifle hunting where ground is covered on foot; precision and target shooting where a rifle is cased and uncased repeatedly across a session; rimfire and training programmes running fleets of club rifles; seasonal storage between hunts; and daily vehicle transport where a hard case takes more cargo space than the trip warrants.

Returns were coming back with split seams at the receiver because customers were forcing zippers over large-objective scopes and elevated mounts. We increased the clearance depth, specified an upgraded lining, and verified the fit against three reference rifles the customer shipped over before sample approval. 650 pcs, 42 days, zipper-related returns eliminated in the first season.
A youth rimfire programme moved club rifles between venues and needed economical per-unit cost with clear identification. We shortened the length to suit training rifles, held padding at the standard range, and added numbered woven labels in four club colourways. 1,500 pcs, 46 days, sorting time at shared venues reduced noticeably.
Helicopter-access hunters pay for every kilogram of charter allowance, so weight drove the specification. We reduced fabric weight and concentrated padding along the barrel and receiver, keeping protection where it mattered while trimming mass. 400 pcs, 40 days, positioned as the brand's lightweight tier.
“The extra clearance at the receiver was the whole fix. Our customers stopped forcing zippers, and that return line disappeared from our reports.”
— Category Manager, Precision Shooting Retailer
“Numbered labels sound like a small thing until you have sixty club rifles in one hall. Sorting went from twenty minutes to about five.”
— Programme Coordinator, Youth Training Federation
“You test-fitted against the three rifles we shipped over rather than guessing from a drawing. That is why the first sample worked.”
— Sourcing Lead, Firearms Accessories Importer
The rifle cut includes clearance across the receiver, and the depth is a standard OEM customization. For large objectives or elevated mounts we recommend confirming against your reference rifle at sampling — we test-fit samples against customer-supplied firearms.
A shotgun slip tapers sharply toward the muzzle. The rifle bag is cut straighter with extra depth across the receiver for an optic. Using a shotgun cut for a scoped rifle is a common cause of strained zippers and split seams.
The foam damps the vibration a rifle takes during vehicle transport, which is one factor working against a mounted optic. It reduces vibration and impact but does not eliminate all handling risk.
No. The 600D Oxford outer is water-resistant against rain and spray. It is stitched with a standard coil zipper and is not designed for immersion; our welded TPU range covers that requirement.
The standard 10–15 mm range covers most rifle use. Thinner suits rimfire and volume training programmes, thicker suits premium and precision positioning.
Yes. Rimfire and youth training rifles typically use a shortened length; heavy-barrel precision rifles often need an extended one. Specify against the longest rifle in the intended range.
Often yes, depending on the bipod and specified dimensions. Because bipod profiles vary, confirm this at sampling so the internal width is set correctly.
Yes. Numbered woven labels, colourway coding, and custom identification are commonly specified by clubs, training programmes, and rental fleets.
Yes. Fabric weight can be reduced and padding concentrated along the barrel and receiver, trimming mass while keeping protection where it matters.
Screen printing is standard for 600D Oxford, with heat transfer for fine detail and embroidery for premium positioning.
Clean and dry the rifle before storing it inside, wipe the exterior after a muddy outing, and keep the bag dry and out of direct sunlight during extended storage.
MOQ 300 pcs, samples in 7–10 days, production in 30–45 days, quoted EXW, FOB, or CIF. Development covers optic clearance, length, padding, fabric weight, colourway, labelling, and packaging.
