Description

Light and tight – everything you need, nothing you don’t. That’s the design philosophy behind the Scout Rig. A lightweight, no-frills chest rig made of 500D Cordura to keep your gear streamlined to your body, keep a low profile, minimize noise in the woods, and serve as a semi-modular platform for adding MOLLE pouches where necessary such as our 152 Radio Pouch.

Over the years I’ve worked with countless designs, from chest rigs over IBAs we were running in Iraq to using modular panels in Afghanistan with plate carriers. And while lots of those designs were solid for the intended mission, the problem always boiled down to one reality – we were operating overtly in a semi-permissive environment. This is certainly not the case outside the usual military or governmental circles. The Armed Civilian is covert by nature and requires a low profile gear while maintaining a certain level of modularity to tailor equipment to specific missions. More often than not, that’s keeping just a few mags on your chest, a place for a small set of binos, and a platform to carry your tactical or inter-team communications.

This leads us to the Scout Rig. Simple but bombproof in construction, easy to add admin pouches, and holds 4 AR-15, AK-74, or AK-47 mags with two small pouches on the front and one pocket in the rear. A fully adjustable H harness design insures maximum comfort under load for any body type or size in addition to fitting over body armor if the mission calls for it. This was designed to be a true no frills, no fluff, do-everything rig at a price that cannot be beat.

Available in Woodland, Coyote Tan, OD Green, and Multicam.

    M81 Scout Rig

    High speed. Low drag. Better than a canteen pouch. Faster than a bulky plate carrier. Every grab-&-go kit needs one.

  2. Harry Konwin Verified owner

    Scout rig

    No antenna whip getting in the way thanks to the built-in sleve. Generous pocket space. Heavy-duty build. This is the rig you’re looking for.

  3. Chris Powers Verified owner

    Scout Rig

    Confirm 100% rig holds FAL,M14,G3 and AR10 type mags. Also the end pouches CAN be stacked.
    So 6 mags of 308.

    Very comfortable and Practicle rig.
    And as Usual..It showed up ahead of intial stated shipping arrival date.

    An amazing rig for the price

    I expected the chest rig to be good based on other products you sell. However upon receipt I immediately put it on and was very pleased at the number of adjustments one could make. It fits very comfortable. The stitching is excellent. The material is lightweight but appears robust. I’m glad it was made with cordura. I bought a chest rig from another company for a 9mm pcc I have. It cost about $20 more than the Scout rig and is not as well made. So I’m hoping you come out with a Scout rig that will hold mags for a Scorpion. I am pleased and can’t wait to field test it.

    Great product

    Very impressed with the quality of the material at unpacking. Haven’t field tested it yet, but just pulling and tugging on it confirms strong construction. What is most impressive is the obvious thought that went into the design of the rig. There is clearly attention to detail, by someone who understands the purpose/need of this product, that is really appreciated. One example is the velcro bands for adjusting the length of the straps that come attached to the straps. This not only prevents them from getting lost but ensures ease of use. Simple idea but makes a big difference and makes me want to purchase several more of these for my sons. There are several more examples I could write, but at this price point, buy one and see for yourself.

    Scout Rig

    No surprise, like everything I’ve gotten from you it is well made, and very functional.
    I’m an old guy. Been there, done that. Lots of broken bones and replacement parts. I won’t be running/gunning anywhere. I wanted a way of carrying extra mags to simply take care of my property and maybe my small community should the need arise. The Scout Rig fills that role nicely.

    Thanks for putting out a quality product for a reasonable price.

    Scout Chest Rig Review

    The day after receiving the Scout Rig we had a class of 8 clients who all tried and commented on this chest rig. Reviews were… Overwhelmingly positive! The stitching is well done, no loose threads or missed stitches to be found. Seams all were even. Straps well placed. Adjustments fit everyone from 2XL to real skinny/small. Some comments were: “Gotta get me one”. “Is that all this cost?”, “Nice!”. “This is surprisingly comfortable” One guy even had his doubts about the mag retention (his current setup for the heavy brush in the area is velcro flapped retention), so he put one of each AK and FAL mags with the sloped floorplate, a 30rd AR and a 20rd AR and then laid down and low crawled 25 or 30 yards. Didn’t loose any mag! He was impressed, commenting on the tightness of the bungee retention (guess his previous experience with bungee wasn’t as strong). With the included routing tabs/tunnels your cable/tube management is provided for as well. The rig is lightweight but seems very durable. So, we will continue to use this and see how it holds up but this class was two thumbs up for the BrushBeater Scout Chest Rig!

    Solid rig at an affordable price

    Ran this rig with 4 ar 30 round mags though the Brushbeater Fighting Carbine Course last weekend. Easily adjustable, I wore it with a full load for a couple short runs on the treadmill to make sure I had it where I wanted and felt confident going into class with it. Wore it 2 full days in the NC humidity and had no issues. Solid construction with no BS add-ons that will serve you as good or better than rigs $100 more.

  12. Timothy Geist Verified owner

    Excellent piece of kit!

    This chest rig is great for knocking around the property and in the back of the truck. Great lightweight rig for the summer too. The construction is bombproof and the woodland camp is a great 80’s throwback. I purchased this rig with the matching AR-152 pouch and the two go together perfectly. Also, Scout doesn’t joke around when he says same day shipping – I live in a remote area and buy everything online. I got my orders from him in like two days. Thank You again!

  13. Brooks Conner Verified owner

    Designed with basic needs in mind and constructed with durable materials which ensures longevity long after the break in period.

    Scout Rig

    Awesome piece of kit for an excellent price, all thrilla no filla

  19. Henley Verified owner

    This is it!

    Stop looking at it and buy it! All you need and nothing you don’t, partisan warfare will not be a permissible environment and this thing can be covered with a rain jacket. Please make a knife sheath to rival the Spec Ops and I’ll pre order!

  20. Glick Verified owner

    It’s from Brushbeater… Enough said!

  21. Marcos Rodriguez Verified owner

    Scout Rig

    God’s plaid, M81. This is a great rig, easy to do and doff, and is very well made. I can’t recommend it enough!

  22. William Hopcraft Verified owner

    This was not immediately obvious but there are two rows of pouches across the front. The front pouches can hold items like radios, compasses etc while the back pouches are for the magazines.
    The material seems very sturdy, and it is very adjustable for people with different builds.
    Good product for a good price!

  23. Don Peterson (biggin599) Verified owner

    Great rig!

    I really like my new scout rig. It’s light and tough. It’s fits close to the body and is very comfortable.

  24. Garrett Powell Verified owner

    Scout Rig

    Minimalist, but robust and well made. It was exactly what I was looking for, and for the price, nothing could touch it. Very happy with my purchase, and I’m proud to support my fellow American’s business.

  25. Brendan Thompson Verified owner

    Simply Good

    Simple and works great.

  26. Chris C Verified owner

    Scout rig/chest rig

    The scout rig is a very nice chest rig set up. It’s very comfortable to wear in the field. I attached a radio pouch to 2 rows of Molly on one side of an admin pouch to the Molly on the other. For the admin pouch, I did need to get a short malice clip to attach it to the center Molly loops of the admin pouch.

  27. Bill Essling Verified owner

    Just right

    Been looking for a low bulk chest rig. This is it. It has what you need and nothing you don’t. Pair this with a battle belt and you’re all set. Priced right too !!

  28. Ernest Harris Verified owner

  31. Rifle Guy Verified owner

    Minimalist but everything you need

    Great quality/construction. This bridges the gap between a 3 mag rig and full sustainment. Highly recommend.

  32. Matthew McCartney Verified owner

    Great piece of equipment

  33. Tim Verified owner
