Re: Range bag or Chest

I use a stanley tool box that i baught for 20 bucks. It has a top and bottom and can be rolled or carried. It also has a little organizer that was probably for nuts and bolts but i use it for cleaning brushes and jags and patches.

screech:

The left handed gun is a 270 AM built on a Savage 110 action, Lilja barrel and McMillan hunter with a Sightron up top.

The right handed gun is a 7mm AM built on a Nesika action, Rock barrel and McMillan A5 with a Nightforce up top.

Whopper,
You are not on your own mate, me and my shooting partner take so much stuff, i have to put extra pressure in the rear tyres [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Luckily we can park adjacent to the shooting line/Benches so several trips to and from the truck are not a problem.
We handload at the range so all our equipment is packed into rigid plastic/steel, double handled toolmakers chest with a hinged top storage compartment for bullets, primers arbour press powder measure etc.
Tubs of powder are packed into a plastic laundry basket, with all other equipment in easily transportable containers.
I even have a seperate container for the brew up gear (camping stove, kettle, teapot etc.)cant function without a fresh cuppa [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Ian.

Sendero_Man:

I really like the A5 style stock. It does everything I want a stock to do and is ergonomically right on when it comes to getting in behind it and breaking a shot. It's not, however, a stock I'd recommend if you want to build a light weight gun. I went with the adjustable cheekpiece but find that it is perfect for me in the fully lowered position so that was an expense I could have eliminated.

If I had it to do over again, and time was an issue, I'd probably go with another choice as the wait for a McMillan is way too long. You can get the same features in stocks that are just as good and are much quicker to obtain. If the wait is not a problem then the McMillan is a great product.
