I use a Mitsubishi Montero Sport, self propelled range cart, with a Bob Allen Sporting Clays bag that has had a lot of use over the years, A small Kennedy tool box that has been all over the country with my when I serviced packaging equipment that I designed and built for a company I worked for, plus other various containers. Dmn, tht was in the late60's and early 70's.Also unit has a resident guard dog. Very comfortable range cart.

M\No but Bear recently told me to upgrade from the old Montero car which was done a month and a half ago. Old cart had 247000plus on it.

Hey Bear, I like your self propeled gun cart. The PVC shelf is a good idea too. I'm lookin for something like that. Better fuel milage than my 4x4.

Hakaman, Good choice.

For those who have to walk from parking to the firing line, I mentioned a fold down gun cart to carry all the stuff.
This link looks a lot like the one I built. http://www.backpocketguncart.com/

Had that same shelf in the old Montero also, had to totally rebuild it for the new one. Sure is handy to have, you don/t have to pile stuff on top of each other, and you can get at the bottom items without removing everything. Mileage for an all wheel/4 wheel drive SUV is not bad, just over 20 mpg. Have only had it for about 2K, so this is just a short term average. The older Montero over 60K+ mile that I had it was just about 19.75 mpg.

I'm all for it....whats better on a hot day of shooting than a frosty beverage, and what to do with the condensation??? perfect! or you can throw your brass in it and the sand/ grit will fall out the drain hole on the carpet of your car on the ride home.

Actually, I usually take a cold drink with me to the range, even in the winter.
That's how I get my caffeine fix. I'll have to post a pic of it, filled to the brim with guns, ammo, and a drink, to see how it rates.

My standard range snack is two 16oz. Dr.Peppers, a bag of pork rinds, and a can of Vienna sausage. That's enough caffeine, fat, and salt to hold me three or four hours.

Pffft, why not just put a cupholder on the picatinny rail along with your flashlight, scope, BUIS, red-dot, laaaaazor, espresso machine, sling swivel, VFG, bipod, machete, bayonet, and tazer?

But I do generally take some water, a soft drink, and a granola bar or home-made cookies to the range ... my trips tend to be in the 3 hour range now that I dumped the silliness of rental ranges.

I think those "eats" contain the four basic food groups, don't they?

You know, I just bought a Beretta M9A1 w/rail, I have been wondering what to mount on it !

Bear and I usually keep our range trips at an hour or maybe two at the most, but we have done a couple of longer ones when the Greener gets to down and enjoyed every minute. Nice thing about living less than 15 minutes from the range and using it a t mid day, usually we pretty much have the raange to ourselves.We usually bring a cold drink or two and Bear insists I bring him some water. But if you have a large drink cup he will beg and bark and insist on a hand out of all of your ice cubes if possible. We gave him ice one day when we did not have any water handy and he now knows what it is and loves it.
