Range Box or Range Bag??

[Babaganoosh 192]

So I have been accumulating more stuff lately for when I go shooting and have been using my Burton snowboarding backpack to carry my stuff around for the most part. Has a few different compartments and works well, however I want to get a dedicated bag/box for shooting.

 

At this point I seem to be leaning towards a bag but both my cousin and friend both have range boxes and I like the sturdiness of the box.

 

This could go either way but I'd like to hear some suggestions from some of the more experienced guys out there. Thanks

I used to use a plastic Craftsman tool box for my range accessories. BUt then I switched to a messenger bag because it has a shoulder strap. In time i am going to run to Shore Shot or Brick Armory to grab a real range bag.

 

Personally (and this is just my opinion) its easier to carry the bag over one shoulder and the rifle in one hand and the other hand free. With the tool box, one hand carries the box, the other carries the rifle. As you can tell, im more about comfort and convenience

Pick up a Midway range bag. They have them on sale frequently and are inexpensive and durable with plenty of pockets.

Ive had this bag about a year, sturdy zippers and alot of storage. Only drawback is the shoulder strap adjustment sux, with alot of weight in the bag the strap opens to the longest lenght. Otherwise happy with it.....

I prefer the bag to the box with the exception of my muzzle loader/black powder supplies which are in a home depot $15 toolbox.

When I go to an indoor pistol range, I just have a gym bag with me. When I go to an outdoor range with rifle, I have the whole shop with me! Two tackle boxes at the bench and of course, a mat, rest, spotting scope, etc., and extra various targets and whatever in my truck. I like the boxes for cleaning equipment, tools and the like.

Range TRUNK!

 

I load up with trunk of the crown vic and take it down to Ft Dix! HA! I could go light and just buy targets there, but I bring the steel plate down, tools, extra rebar, my own targets, cans, guns, ammo, etc. When I go to an indoor I simply bring the gun cases and a cabelas ammo can.

Incognito range bags are great.

I use a very large computer bag. Lots of compartments and space for 3 pistols, ammo, mags, ear muffs, tools, and water bottle, targets, and staple gun.

I forgot about the water bottle....

I bought a large one of these LLBean Range Bags. If anything happens (breaks) to it they'll replace it.

That one looks too small for my needs.

I have an Ogio gym bag that I use. It was swag from my company and I get a ton of decent luggage for free. Great bag, but my cat keeps chewing through the bungee cord.

Since this was dug up from the grave yesterday... I ended up with a midway range bag. Love it.

I dumped the bag and went to tool box. Since I shoot so many different systems and disciplines, it was too crazy with stuff everywhere in the bag. Box is working MUCH better for me. Box for all the tools etc etc, ammo box for ammo, bag for all soft equipment(holsters, chest rigs etc etc).

You need the one that comes with the fork lift?

I use my Maxpedition pack for everything.. range included..

[kenw 293]

I use one of these Stanley rolling tool chests. Pretty much holds everything I need. I think it was about 30 bucks at WalMart.

 

There's a nicer one that I'm thinking of for this year. I may treat myself.

That fat max one is big as hell. We have one at work.

+1 on that!!!

 

Free is for me and the bag works great.

Yeah, I usually go to the range with Lynn, so there's a bunch of handguns, eyes and ears for 2+ an extra set, a couple of towels, targets, staplers and staples, extra hats, cleaning supplies, miscellaneous tools, a small first aid kit, sunscreen, bug spray, and some other crap.

 

I don't travel light.

[Anselmo 87]

I've seen beer case boxes, Craftsmen tool bags, gym bags, back packs and a guitar case at the range.

I like that Idea, my range bag is getting a little bit heavy lately, last time I weighed it It was just over 40lbs
