Great questions Ironman. I asked for everybodys opinions, and what they used, to try to narrow down my options. When I first saw the tennis racket case, I was pretty exstatic, then I thought of the same dilemna you posed. I dont play tennis.
I do play guitar, but all those soft cases are just too big for my SBR.
I have tossed around the ideal of the duffel bag, but most require me to break my rifle down. I dont want that.
Im thinking about contacting John Willis, at SOE Tactical, and having him build something up for me.

1) What application are you guys using this bag for? For what do you need a discrete bag?
2) If the answer to number 1 is what I think it is, then are you prepared to play the part or at least get by with it?...read on...
For me, the reason I would want a discrete bag is to be able to carry it places that I generally would not be able to such as an office at work (if you own your own business)...or from your car to your apartment, where there is a strong possibility that you would come into contact with a person that you may or may not know who may strike up a conversation about your tennis or guitar bag thinking that you actually play....
To me, the most discrete is a duffle bag setup (especially if you workout...and it helps to look the part), whether you make your own dedicated discrete SBR duffle bag or you buy something like the Emdom-MM TNT Bag. Nobody would ever question a duffle bag because they are "usually" filled with sweaty clothes and gym gear.
So this has led me to my question...are you guys who use these "other" bags prepared to look and play the part if you have to?
If you are, then great, drive on....but if you carry a conversation with a guy about your "guitar" that you have in your case, there is always the chance that he will ask politely to see it because he is a guitar enthusiast...now what? How do you politely decline without arousing any suspicion, thus negating the purpose of the "discrete" bag?
I know from personal experience that nobody will EVER ask to see what's in a duffle bag...at least I've NEVER been asked, and I've carried around a gym/duffle bag for a long long time....
Agree? Disagree?
