Carrying two rifles to the range or hunting camp is simpler when each has a place in one case. But a double rifle case is only useful if both firearms fit, the divider keeps them apart, and the loaded bag is manageable on your actual route. A size label by itself does not answer those questions.
This guide is for shoppers comparing soft double rifle cases for real firearms. We use the LQARMY Tactical Double Rifle Case sold by Leash The Wilderness as a practical example, without promising a specific firearm fit or borrowing unverified specifications from other sellers. The listing describes a padded interior, MOLLE webbing, backpack carry, and several length options. A supplier photo shows a center divider and visible fabric retention straps on each side of an open case. What it does not show is the usable inside size of each compartment or two rifles installed.
Compare the case to your gear: View the LQARMY Double Rifle Case at LTW. Measure both unloaded rifles first; the listed size is not a verified internal fit measurement.
Start with the two unloaded rifles, not the bag
Measure each unloaded firearm in the configuration in which you plan to transport it. Record overall length from stock to muzzle, including fixed attachments. Measure height with an optic mounted. Note protruding accessories and the thickest point of the setup. If you remove an accessory for transport, measure the arrangement that will actually enter the case.
Do this for both rifles separately. A shorter rifle may be taller because of its optic; a longer rifle might be relatively slim. A pair that fits side by side on a bench may not fit comfortably on opposite sides of a padded divider once the bag is zipped. If you have only measured the longer rifle, you have done half the job.
Write the figures down and bring them to the product page or supplier conversation. Do not use a firearm's model family as a substitute for measurement. Stocks, barrels, optics, slings, and other equipment vary. Follow the firearm maker's safe-handling instructions whenever you measure or pack it.
Compare usable inside space, not a nominal length
LTW's LQARMY listing includes variants labeled 81, 97, 106, and 122 cm, corresponding approximately to 32, 38, 42, and 48 inches. Those are size labels, not verified usable internal dimensions. Exterior fabric, padding, seams, and the zipper path can take up space. The center divider creates two distinct sides whose dimensions need to work for both rifles.
Ask for usable internal length, height, and depth for the exact color and size you intend to order. Ask whether those figures describe each rifle side or the outer case. Then compare those measurements against each unloaded firearm, including optics and fixed accessories. Leave enough clearance for an easy insertion and smooth closure without pushing hardware against a zipper or compressing an optic.
More room is not automatically better. If the compartment is far larger than the rifle and the retention system does not control movement, gear can slide as the bag is carried upright. The right fit combines clearance with effective separation and restraint. If the supplier cannot provide internal measurements, treat the length label as a starting point for questions, not a guarantee.
What a divider can do
A divider separates the two long-gun positions. In the open-case image supplied for the LQARMY bag, a center flap sits between two interior panels. Straps are visible on both sides. This layout suggests a way to keep two rifles from resting directly against each other, but the image alone does not prove that every optic, stock, and accessory will clear the divider.
Before buying, check whether the divider covers the contact points that matter for your equipment and whether it stays in place when the loaded case is lifted. Look at its edges, not just its center. A soft divider may reduce rubbing while still leaving a protruding part able to press into another area. Padding is helpful, but it is not an impact-test rating.
Some product photos show two rifles facing opposite directions in a double case. That may be a practical arrangement for a particular pair, but do not assume it is mandatory for this LTW case. The supplier photo we have shows the bag empty. Follow the actual case layout, the manufacturer's instructions if available, and the fit of your two unloaded firearms.
Check the retention straps
The supplier image shows fabric straps on each interior panel. Their visible presence is not the same as a verified adjustment range, closure specification, or proof that they will hold every rifle firmly. Ask how the straps fasten and where they land relative to the rifles you intend to pack.
A strap should restrain a stable part of the firearm without pressing hard on an optic, control, or delicate accessory. It should allow the case to close without forcing equipment into an awkward position. If the case is available to inspect, check for shifting after packing it according to safe-handling rules. A good-looking interior photo cannot replace a test of the loaded setup.
Keep loose items out of the long-gun compartments unless the layout is designed to hold them separately. Even when rifles are restrained, a hard tool or accessory left loose can move during transport. Use appropriate dedicated storage for small gear and observe applicable transport rules for firearms and ammunition.
Assess padding realistically
The LTW listing describes a padded interior. It does not publish measured padding thickness, a drop-test result, or a crush-resistance rating. Check the broad side panels, bottom, ends, and divider. The part most likely to touch a hard surface may not be the panel that looks thickest in a photograph.
Look closely at the zipper line when the case is closed. If an optic or muzzle device presses directly against the zipper, the case is not a comfortable fit even if its nominal length looks sufficient. Likewise, a rifle should not have to be wedged into the end padding to let the zipper reach.
A soft case can help with routine scuffs and contact, but it does not become a hard protective case because it has foam. Carry and set it down deliberately. For rough handling, stacking with heavy luggage, or a journey with specific carrier requirements, consider a case built for that situation instead.
Consider the full loaded weight
Two rifles, optics, and accessories can make a bag much heavier than the empty product shown online. The LQARMY listing describes a backpack carry option. That may be convenient when you need your hands free between a vehicle and a range or hunting location, but how it feels depends on the load, strap placement, and length of the walk.
Check strap attachment points and stitching. Try to picture the case beside any pack you already carry. Two sets of shoulder straps can compete for space. For a very short walk, a handle may be simpler than wearing the case. For longer distances, balance matters: the bag should not swing unpredictably or drag against your legs.
Walk the route in your mind before buying. A long case must pass through doors, fit in a vehicle, and move around other people safely. Backpack carry is an option, not proof of comfort for every body or every load. Keep the case under your control and follow the rules of the range or property you are visiting.
MOLLE and other storage features
LTW's product description names exterior MOLLE webbing. Modular webbing can provide places for compatible pouches, but the listing does not establish which pouches are included or a maximum accessory load. Do not assume that every exterior pocket or attachment shown by another seller is present on the exact variant you order.
Make a list of the items you actually need: eye and ear protection, paperwork, appropriate cleaning supplies, and any other gear for your trip. Decide which should be accessible without opening the rifle compartment. External storage should help organization rather than turn the case into an overstuffed, unbalanced pack.
Other listings for similar-looking cases mention pistol pockets, magazine capacities, waterproof fabric, lockable zippers, and even shooting mats. We have not verified those as specifications for LTW's particular case. If one of those features is a requirement, request written confirmation for the exact model and variant before buying. A similar photograph or shared product name is not enough.
When a soft double case is the wrong choice
A soft double case can be convenient for local, supervised transport. It is not necessarily the right answer for checked air travel, unsecured storage, heavy impacts, or any situation requiring a specific locking setup. The available LTW description does not certify airline acceptance, waterproofing, or compliance with any jurisdiction's firearm transport laws.
Check current rules for every jurisdiction and carrier involved in your trip. Consider how the firearm must be unloaded, secured, and separated from ammunition where required. Do not rely on a blog post, a case label, or a store photograph as legal advice. If a hard, lockable case is required, choose one that meets those requirements rather than trying to make a soft case do the job.
For home storage, a carrying bag is not a replacement for an appropriate secure-storage solution. After a wet trip, follow the firearm maker's care instructions and let the case dry before putting it away. Soft fabric and padding can hold moisture; leaving gear sealed inside while damp is a poor long-term plan.
A close look at the LQARMY option
LTW sells a LQARMY Tactical Double Rifle Case with several length and color options. Its description identifies double-rifle capacity, padding, MOLLE webbing, and backpack carry. The supplied open-case image adds visual evidence of a center divider and straps on both sides.
That makes the bag relevant to someone seeking a soft case for two rifles. It does not establish usable inside dimensions or guarantee fit for a particular firearm pair. Nor does the term “double rifle case” tell us precisely how a scoped rifle should be positioned in each side. Measure both setups and confirm the exact variant before choosing a size.
The selected 122 cm Black option is one variant, not a universal recommendation. A buyer with a shorter rifle may need more height for an optic, while another with a longer firearm may need more length at the ends. We will not turn the nominal 122 cm label into a claim that a rifle of a given measured length fits inside. If exact inside measurements become available, the case can be evaluated more directly.
A practical checklist before ordering
- Measure each unloaded rifle's overall length, height with optics, and thickest point.
- Confirm usable inside dimensions of both rifle positions in the exact case variant.
- Check whether the divider separates the points that might otherwise rub.
- Confirm how straps fasten and whether they sit on stable parts of both rifles.
- Make sure both firearms can be inserted and the zipper closed without force.
- Check the padding at the ends, bottom, zipper edge, and divider.
- Consider total loaded weight, strap anchors, and the route you will walk.
- Verify any must-have accessory, pocket, lock, or weather-resistance claim separately.
- Check applicable firearm and ammunition transport rules for your trip.
If you cannot answer the internal-fit questions, do not buy on the assumption that an advertised outer length is enough. Ask the supplier for the measurement that matters rather than making an expensive guess.
Common mistakes shoppers make
Buying by the inch number alone. A 48-inch size label does not prove 48 inches of usable inside length. Padding, seams, and zipper placement may change the space available to a rifle.
Measuring only one firearm. The second one may have a different optic, stock, or muzzle device. Both must fit independently on their sides of the divider.
Assuming an image proves every feature. A photo of straps shows that straps are visible. It does not prove their adjustment range, strength, or compatibility with your setup.
Equating padding with tested protection. A padded soft bag is not automatically crushproof, waterproof, or approved for checked transport. Use a case appropriate to the journey.
Repeating another seller's specification. Similar-looking cases may vary by production run, seller, or variant. Verify the features of the product you actually order.
Overpacking the exterior. MOLLE can be handy, but an uneven load may make the bag awkward to carry. Focus on the two rifles first, then add only the gear you need.
Frequently asked questions
Can the LQARMY case carry two real rifles?
It is listed as a double rifle case, and the supplied open-case photo shows a divider and straps on both sides. Whether it carries your specific pair depends on the exact interior dimensions and your rifles' configurations. We cannot guarantee fit from the current size labels.
Do the two rifles have to point in opposite directions?
We have not verified a required orientation for this LTW case. Another seller's loaded-case image shows one possible arrangement, but the supplied LTW-related image shows an empty case. Check the actual layout and maker guidance for your equipment.
Is the 122 cm size its internal length?
That figure appears in the variant label. We do not have a verified usable interior length for each rifle position. Request the inside length, height, and depth rather than assuming the label describes internal clearance.
Is this bag waterproof or lockable?
Those claims have not been confirmed for the exact LTW variant from the evidence available for this guide. Do not depend on them unless the supplier verifies them. A weather-resistant material claim elsewhere is not the same as proof that the entire case is waterproof.
Can I use it for checked air travel?
Do not assume so. Check current airline and authority rules and use a case that meets the applicable requirements. The LTW listing does not establish that this soft bag qualifies.
What if I cannot get internal measurements?
You can still compare construction and carry features, but you cannot make a reliable fit promise. Send the supplier measurements of both unloaded firearms and ask whether the exact variant accommodates them, preferably with the compartment dimensions in writing.
Next step: check your two-rifle setup
Measure both unloaded rifles with their optics and fixed accessories. Compare those measurements with the usable inside dimensions for each compartment of the exact case size you want, and confirm how the divider and straps sit against your equipment. Then check the LQARMY Double Rifle Case options at LTW. If the inside dimensions are not available or the trip calls for a locked hard case, don't guess: confirm fit with the supplier or choose a case whose specifications meet your needs.
