    Range cart options?

    I am getting a little tired of making many trips out to the car for gear when shooting at matches. What is a good range cart out there that I will only have to buy once and will last a live time, if you know what I mean. Thank you, James.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    There are a variety of carts...

    All commercial supplier have one and I seen various types used from a two-wheeled plastic bin with bungee corded cover, to a simple golf cart with a three tiered plasystem that one acts as base plate for all items to rest against, with a second plate about six inches above and the third is where the top of bag would be.
    The second third plates have proper shaped holes insertion of items, then the shootinf coat cover them during transport.

    I built the range cart I use back in 1988! It's been modified several times over the years, mainly to accommodate different rifles (I was shooting a .308 Garandicon when I built it!) but the basic design remains and it still works. You couldn't then, and still can't buy what I built after observing similar designs at the Nationals, etc.. The basic chassis is a cheap Harbor Freight hand-truck with a plywood box bolted to it. The wheels and axle location have been changed, and the box internal layout has evolved over the years, but it easily carries everything I need and one hell of a lot of what I don't!
    Built the whole shebang for under $50 back-in-the-day.

    I had used a hand truck I purchased at Home Depot for the last couple of years with a recycle bin strapped to it. Worked great at the local ranges, but I did experience problems when I used it at Camp Perry, as the wheels were not large enough to handle the terrain. I finally broke down and purchased a Ray-Vin shooting cart. I already had their scope stand, and since it could also be used to tow the cart I decided in their favor. I put the whole thing together yesterday, and I am very impressed... the workmanship is wonderful, and looks simple to maintain.

    They have an option on their website which allows you to compare the various range carts that are availble. Get what fits your circumstances. I also liked the FIRST STRIKE, but it had to be able to fit into the Corolla...

    I'd also suggest looking at the Vin-Ray cart. They also have several attachments that you can 'add on'.

    I snagged my girlfriends no longer used 5K baby jogger / stroller. Worked well with a couple bungy cords at Perry last Summer. I was far from the only person using one.

    She can come get her kayak any time out of my garage, but she is not getting the stroller back.
