If a field target rifle with a tall scope, large sidewheel, and butt hook is to stay ready for transport in the bag, length alone is not enough.
The AIM FT-100 Mk2 is the deep bag of the FT series for setups up to 117 x 37 cm. It is aimed at complete FT setups with optics and attachments, not at slim standard rifles that already lie pressure-free in a more compact bag.

What the FT-100 Mk2 is built for
The FT-100 Mk2 is not just a longer case but the deep bag from the AIM Field Target range. According to the manufacturer, it accommodates a rifle up to 117 cm in length and 37 cm in depth. This exact depth is the crucial point when a large sidewheel, tall turrets, a wide hamster, or a pronounced butt hook should not have to be removed every time.
AIM explicitly describes the bag for rifles with mounted optics and attached sidewheel. Additionally, there is a deeper reinforced stock compartment for butt-hook assemblies. Those who buy based only on length miss the actual benefit of this product: The FT-100 solves a depth and contour problem, not just the question of whether the muzzle fits inside.
Fixation, access, and protection in everyday use
In the main compartment, three adjustable weapon straps work together with the reinforced stock compartment so that the rifle does not move loosely through the rectangular interior volume. The Cordura-lined main compartment and the padded protection along the main zipper are important for sensitive surfaces and tall optics because metal should not rub against glass or coating once the bag is closed.
The main zipper opens on three sides and is complemented by side quick releases. Robust zippers with protective flaps keep rain, sand, and dust better away from the direct zipper path. According to AIM, the main compartment and outer pockets are lockable in the Mk2 version. This is no substitute for a gun safe but a sensible protection against accidental opening and for short transport phases on the way to the range.
Outer pockets and transport logic
The two outer pockets are large enough to keep accessories neatly separated from the rifle. The larger compartment measures 64 x 30 cm inside and tapers from 23 cm width to 18 cm; the smaller one measures 37 x 30 cm. This allows pellets, rangefinder, weather protection, tools, and documents to be stored in separate areas instead of lying loose next to the stock and optics in the main compartment.
With external dimensions of 123 x 38 x 8 cm and a weight of 3.3 kg, the FT-100 is not a minimal package. It is the bag for the complete setup. Wide padded shoulder straps with metal carabiners help with backpack transport, box-X stitched handles help when moving it at the vehicle or on the course. On the other hand, those transporting a slim hunting rifle without large attachments carry unnecessary volume with the FT-100.
Our assessment
The strongest reason to buy is d
The credible combination of depth, rectangular shape, and reinforced stock mount. Many bags can accommodate 117 cm length. Significantly fewer bags allow a complete FT rifle with sidewheel and butt hook to be placed without modification so that neither the scope nor the stock contour is under lateral pressure.
The most common mistake would be to treat the FT-100 as the universally best AIM rifle bag. It is only the right choice if your setup really needs the extra depth. For a normal bolt-action system that lies pressure-free in a narrower bag, less volume is usually more honest, lighter, and more comfortable to handle.
Buy or not buy?
Buy if: your rifle is transported in competition or training trim with a large scope, sidewheel, or butt hook and the complete setup stays within 117 x 37 cm. Then the FT-100 saves disassembly work and reduces the risk that tall components press against a too shallow bag.
Don’t buy if: you only want a long but not particularly deep bag, the system already fits neatly in a more compact AIM bag, or your need leans more towards a hard case. It is also not suitable for users with implanted medical devices due to the magnetic chest strap.

Important safety notice: AIM explicitly warns against buying or using this bag if you have a pacemaker, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, or other implanted devices. The reason is the magnetic chest strap.
Trainer tip

Always take the transport measurement in the real shooting condition: Don’t just measure from muzzle to stock cap. Sidewheel, tall turret, hamster, and butt hook must fit into the 37 cm depth as the rifle is actually transported. Those who only measure the bare system length often buy a bag for Field Target that is long enough but professionally wrong.
Three practical user tips

Insert the butt hook first into the reinforced mount: Place the rear area cleanly first and then tighten the three straps at sturdy points. If the buttstock stands crooked in the bag, pressure occurs exactly on the parts for which the FT-100 is supposed to create more space.

Consistently move hard parts into the outer pockets: Pellet tins, rangefinder, keys, and tools do not belong in the main compartment next to the rifle and scope. The large outer pockets are exactly for that and keep hard edges away from glass, stock, and coating.

Don’t confuse raincover, inner lining, and mat: The raincover is the outer weather layer, the inner lining protects surfaces when putting in and taking out, and the shooting mat is a separate pad for the shooting range. None of these parts replaces the function of the others.
Keep raincover, inner lining, and shooting mat clearly separated
The raincover for the FT-100 Field Target bag sits outside over the bag. According to AIM, the combination of FT-100 and raincover keeps the system 100% waterproof. The inner lining for the FT-100 Field Target bag works inside and protects the finish of rifle and scope against scratches and abrasion marks when putting in and taking out.
The AIM Range Shooting Mat, on the other hand, is not a bag component but a pad for shooting on wet or rough ground. It complements a range day but neither protects the contents of the FT-100 from transport pressure nor replaces the raincover in the rain.

Suitable additions:

Raincover for FT-100 Field Target bag - outer weather layer for the FT-100.

Inner lining for FT-100 Field Target bag - separate inner lining to protect finish and optics.

AIM Range Shooting Mat - separate shooting pad for the range, not for transport in the main compartment.

FAQ
Why is the FT-100 Mk2 deeper than other AIM bags? Because it is designed for field-target setups with mounted optics, sidewheel and butt hook. The manufacturer states up to 37 cm depth so that tall and wide components do not press sideways against the bag.
Which dimensions really need to be checked before purchase? Both directions: up to 117 cm length and up to 37 cm depth. Measurement is always taken with the complete transport condition including optics, sidewheel, hamster and butt hook.
Does the bag alone make the system waterproof? No. The FT-100 itself is made of water-resistant Cordura. According to AIM, the system is 100% waterproof together with the matching rain cover.
What is the practical difference between the inner lining and rain cover? The inner lining protects surfaces inside the bag when inserting and removing. The rain cover sits outside and is intended for wet conditions. Both parts are sold separately and serve different purposes.
What is the reinforced stock holder for? It provides deeper and more stable support in the rear area so that butt-hook geometries are properly accommodated and the rifle remains better fixed in the main compartment.
For whom is the FT-100 not the right choice despite the suitable length? For slim standard rifles without depth requirements, for buyers needing hard shell protection, and for users with implanted devices due to the magnetic chest strap.
