The PRB is also a huge bag, which I figured would be 1) too large to conveniently carry or store and 2) too heavy by a wide margin if I actually came close to filling it with gear & ammo. Some sleuthing through the other range bag listings showed the VISM Expert Range Bag to be suspiciously similar in description and features to the OPMOD, but minus the large-print logo. That led me to look at the VISM Competition Range Bag, and here I am...

The pocket with the velcro has mag elastic on both inner surfaces, providing storage for a total of 8 AR mags or 16 pistol mags (or some combination).
