Best Range Box

[Long1MD]

I'm turning to you guys for good advice on the best all around range box. I often take rifle and pistol (rarely shotgun) to the range on the same day. Looking for a durable range box for some tools, cleaning, ammo, etc....any ideas from you guys that shoot waaaay more than I get to?

I have been using one of these:

Top for ammo and mags.

Bottom for targets, bags, and other stuff.

Mid section for parts and cleaning stuff.

And it rolls.

That looks nice. How long have you had it and does it seem to hold up well?

Plastic tool boxes generally hold up well unless used as a rest for an AK-47 with the muzzle positioned just a little to far back. At least that's my experience.

...I have actually done the same dam thing!

About a year. Holding up very well.

I also have one of these:

I have had it for some 20 years. And it works well if you have less stuff.

I used it when going to Bang Steel course, as I was supporting on one rifle.

That's funny. At elk neck yesterday I happened to burn the hell out of my range bag doin the same thing.

now this is what would want as a range box with the appropriate way to move it. It could carry everything I could ever want to the range and I could even shoot off of it with out a problem and it should last a lifetime. Buy once cry once.

Ditto, weird.

Looks like it can also be used for burial purposes.

Appropriate way to carry it....forklift?

I prefer soft bags over hard boxes. But 99% of all "range" bags are junk: the zippers fall apart and the stitching pulls out.

Save your $$ and get yourself a hard-bottom tool bag (Craftsman, Stanley, Husky, etc.). They are available in a huge array of sizes and pocket options. And they are super sturdy too.

You can easily install a ring on one end of the zipper if you'd like to lock the thing (it qualifies as a locked container for transport in the passenger compartment of a vehicle). I've been doing this for many years and always had good service from tool bags.

Shoot safely, shoot straight, and shoot often!
