Quick answer

Measure your rifle's overall length and scope height, then compare to the Endeavor Gun Bag 48's internal dimensions of 1160mm x 235mm to confirm a safe fit.

Why accurate measurement matters

A gun bag that is too short can damage the muzzle or stock, while one that is too tall may allow the rifle to shift during transport. The Endeavor Gun Bag 48 is designed for rifles up to 1160mm long and 235mm tall, but your scope or bipod may add extra height that requires careful checking.

Many shooters assume their rifle fits based on barrel length alone, but the overall length from butt to muzzle is what counts. Always measure with the rifle fully assembled and any accessories attached.

Trade-offs in bag sizing

A snug fit reduces movement but can make it harder to zip the bag if the rifle is at the maximum dimension. The Endeavor Gun Bag 48 includes lockable zips, so you want the bag to close without forcing the zipper around the scope or stock.

If your rifle is significantly shorter than 1160mm, consider whether extra padding or a smaller bag might offer better protection. The GB48 weighs only 1220g, making it portable, but a shorter bag could be even lighter.

Step-by-step measurement guide

  1. Measure overall rifle length: Place the rifle on a flat surface. Measure from the rearmost point of the buttstock to the end of the muzzle (including any muzzle brake or suppressor). Record the length in millimeters or inches. Common mistake: measuring only the barrel. The overall length must include the stock and any muzzle device.
  2. Measure scope and accessory height: With the rifle on its side, measure from the flat surface up to the highest point of the scope turret, objective lens bell, or any attached accessory (like a bipod). This is the total height. Check that this height is less than 235mm (9 inches). A tall scope can prevent the bag from zipping closed.
  3. Compare to the bag interior: Open the Endeavor Gun Bag 48 fully. Lay the rifle inside with the muzzle toward one end. Ensure the butt and muzzle do not press against the ends. Close the bag and zip it without forcing. If the zipper strains or the rifle shifts when zipped, the bag is too small. Consider a larger model or remove accessories.
