Vanquest updated its RACKIT-36 Covert Rifle Pack in 2017 by adding a number of new features and expanding available internal space, increasing versatility and ensuring that AR-15 and other carbine owners will be able to transport their rifles securely and secretly.

The rifle pack incorporates updates that provide users with 0.5 inch more length in the internal rifle compartment, as well as providing more MOLLE attachment points in the front pocket and increased loop-attachment space inside the main rifle compartment, allowing users to easily customize the pack for their storage needs.

The main compartment of the RACKIT-36 Covert Rifle Pack measures 36 inches in length, 2 inches in width and 12 inches in height and features construction using 1,000-D Cordura fabric with Teflon coating, along with heavy-duty ZipLine loop pulls designed to prevent the elements from penetrating the interior of the bag. The bag also features No. 10 YKK zippers that are lockable. The total weight of the pack is 3.7 pounds.

In the interior of the bag, users will find a hook-and-loop patch field that measures 27.75 inches by 9.5 inches, giving owners a large, customizable field to added accessories and other rifle-retention options. The main compartment also features a strap system with 11 different positions, along with a muzzle cup, that allows users to fit varying sizes and designs of rifles into the bag.

In addition to the main rifle-storage compartment, the RACKIT-36 Covert Rifle Pack also features a front pocket that measures 19 inches long, 2 inches deep and 12 inches wide. The pocket is equipped with a MOLLE panel that allows for easy accessory attachment, including Vanquest's optional CCW holster and mag holders. The pocket also features an ID loop panel and a windowed zipper pocket for patches and other documents.

Overall, the pack is designed to reduce printing of any carried rifle and spare magazines, allowing users to blend into their environment without drawing attention to their carried firearm. The front pocket is designed to carry up to 12 30-round double-stack magazines, and the inner pocket will fit AR-15 rifles with 16-inch barrels, as well as most pistol-grip shotguns with an 18.5-inch barrel.

The suggested retail price on the Vanquest RACKIT-36 Covert Rifle Pack is $159.99.

New Pistol Suppressors for 2025

We hear you (pun intended)! This year, we are reporting manufacturer’s sound-reduction rating where available. Now, not every manufacturer makes that information publicly available, so you’ll see a fair number of “N/As” where no decibel-reduction numbers were provided, but rest assured that, despite what you might think, the noise-reduction rating is one of the least important factors when choosing a new suppressor (more on that in a future article).
