Description

The Magpul DAKA Soft Case SLR53 is a lightweight, semi-rigid, weather-resistant rifle case built for shooters who need speed, flexibility, and rugged protection.

Constructed from Magpul’s advanced DAKA Grit material with a 600D TPU-coated exterior and RF-welded seams, this 53-inch soft case is designed for travel, vehicle storage, range days, and backcountry hunts. The case provides durable environmental resistance while staying lightweight and flexible. It also nests perfectly inside the Magpul DAKA Hard Case LR53 (with GRID removed) for scenarios requiring maximum protection during transport.

Two exterior YKK Aquaguard® zippers with reinforced 550-cord pulls deliver reliable, weather-resistant access. Inside, a MOLLE-style slotted base and six included DAKA Gear Straps allow you to secure rifles, pouches, accessories, or field gear. The lid features five stretch mesh pockets capable of storing up to ten PMAG® LR/SR GEN M3 magazines, plus a zippered organizational pocket and a document pocket for manuals, targets, or NFA paperwork.

Carry options are highly customizable with dual built-in handles and two stowable sling-attachment plates compatible with QD swivels, Paraclips™, MASH Hooks, and similar connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Magpul DAKA SLR53 rifle case protect against weather elements?

The DAKA SLR53 rifle case is primarily designed for rugged outdoor use and vehicle storage, but it can also be used for air travel when nested inside the Magpul DAKA Hard Case LR53.
