Widespread in shooting ranges, it is often much more expensive sold in gunsmiths. The red band is used to write his name or initials to the felt, which is very handy when a user has the same package. For outdoor shooting, it is not the most suitable and important dimension happens to interfere especially if you have an adjustable butt of his rifle (there are models with indentation whose protection is largely sufficient in open). It is a safe bet and do not need to buy twice as much for them just have a weapons manufacturer stamp of hunting and khaki .... it's the same!
