Slim, densely padded and volumetrically efficient, Magpul’s DAKA Soft Case series for rifles—comprised of the SC35, SR44 and SLR53 models—is constructed from the company’s proprietary DAKA Grit 600-denier material, which is lightweight, flexible, durable and weather-resistant.

The SR44 measures 44"x12"x3" and, like its stablemates, features RF-welded seams and YKK Aquaguard zippers to seal off its contents from the environment. Laser-cut slots in the interior are MOLLE-compatible and five DAKA Gear Straps are included to secure a long gun.

The lid’s interior integrates four mesh pockets sized to hold up to eight Gen M3 PMAGs, along with another pocket for small items and a zippered pocket for documents.

Exterior features include an RF-welded ID card slot, dot matrix labeling grid, built-in carry handles and stowable attachment points for connection to an optional rifle sling using push-button sling swivels, Paraclips or MASH Hooks.

Suggested retail price for the DAKA Rifle Soft Case starts at $160. For more information, visit magpul.com.
