Painters tape
Kid's eye protection
Backup electronic muffs
Ear plugs
Lube 'wipes'
Batteries (AAA, 9v for chrono, two types of button cells, and ... a weird one for a "special" red dot)
Pens, pencils, sharpies
Basic rifle sling
Suppressor wrenches
Allen wrenches for special applications (adjustable gas blocks, weird size for a certain stock adjustment, odd size for brass catcher adjustment, etc.)
Allen wrenches
Swiss Army knife (basically useless at this point - should be removed)
.22, .27, and .35 cal bore snakes
Multi-call cable bore snake cleaning kit
Special .22 cal bore snake for rifles or handguns with limited chamber access
Rags (one thick, one thin)
Resealable plastic bags (for range brass, or whatever else)
Heavy, insulated gloves
Thin, general purpose shooting gloves
Laminated cards with each scope reticle and its sub-tensions (I shoot precision rimfire - sometimes, I need a reminder for a certain rifle/scope)
2-5 boxes of .22 LR (if taking a 22 for "downtime", I sometimes forget the ammo
)
Range keycard
Folded targets (really sucks when you forget a target)
Zipties in many colors - empty chamber indicators, as well as a useful tool
Empty chamber indicators
Piece of cereal box, during spring and fall, for an extended sun shade on scopes (when the sun is directly behind the targets in the morning - see "painters tape" above)
Paper clip (it ended up in there, and comes in handy)
Screwdriver set - only if expecting sight adjustments, otherwise it stays home
Browning Buckmark magazine(s) (I shoot them often enough that I try to keep 2-3 mags in the bag -- see "22 for downtime", above)
Copies of tax stamps for all NFA items, and copies of 5320.20s for the SBRs
.22 LR cases that are oversized for a particular rifle's chamber, because it needs scraping after a while
There's more that I am forgetting.
My basic range bag has a lot of crap in it.
