OP gunswizard Campfire Ranger G Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 17,874 Likes: 3	What do you guys use to haul all your gear from the trunk of your car to the shooting bench at the range with? Looking for ideas for some kind of wheeled cart, prefer something with 6" wheels so it will roll easily over grass or uneven ground. I don't use this real frequently so keeping cost about $100 or so would be ideal. I'd like it if you could post pics of your rigs. Thanks.

Forget the volume designation (xx gallons) but they're about 20Lx13Wx16H with a lid and are stackable and tough as nails. The one I'm currently using is well over 20 years old. I can drive right up to the firing line nowadays but when I couldn't I'd put it or them on a cheap hand truck. Rifles in soft cases were placed upright on top of the storage box and held in place with a bungee cord. These days I just use one box and keep everything I need in it - chronograph, rear bag, benchtop spotting scope. Ear muffs, small tools, pens and odds and ends go into an MTM dry box inside the biger storage box. When I go shooting all I need do is put that days ammo in the storage bin and load it up - everything else is already there so I don't forget it. Depending on how much you spend for the hand cart total cost is probably under $50-$60, I got a really cheap one but like the container it's served well for some 20 years at least. I got a convertible like this one so it can be used as an upright dolly or move the handle and use it as a 4 wheel cart. The latter was very useful moving several storage boxes at once into gunshows. Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

Quick google comes up with: “The Savage 99 Pocket Reference”. All models and variations of 1895’s, 1899’s and 99’s covered. Also dates, checkering, engraving.. Find at www.savagelevers.com
