Range bags/boxes. What do you use?

[sconie]

I use an army "grab bag", plenty of magazine pouches, a few pockets and room inside for a flask, lunch and all my bits and pieces. Pretty cheap off of eBay

British ammo grab bag, holds all the ammo and mags etc I need and also have a smoke grenade box if I need to take more stuff.

I have a cheap rucksack for food, ears and mags, a 50 cal ammo can for ammo and gun bags for rifles.

I use a bog standard sports-style holdall. Big central compartment, two side compartments. TR bondage gear all fits neatly into the middle, plus scope, ammo box, etc, and the outer compartments fit my waterproofs and the empties bag.

It is a pain to carry with a single shoulder strap - I'd swap it for one of those holdalls with backpack-type straps if I could find a reasonably priced one.

30litre hiking rucksack from Trespass. Comfy, capacious and doesn't scream "gun".

One of these fishing rucksack stools so I can carry & sit & coach.

my work bought one of these stanley toolboxes



and i thought it would be perfect for me, so i bought one for myself off amazon. its great, can sit on it or use it as a shooting bench. its rock solid when its locked open or closed. has nice drawer runners on the opening sections so opens nice and smoothly, and has loads of room with a divider section

because i live in a flat, and have to carry it up and down stairs, to save on the weight a little bit, i also use a 5.11 grab bag, with all my ammo in mtm 50 rnd ammo boxes. it will fit 8 50 rnd pistol boxes inside, and another 5 in the outside pouches


so this way i can carry it down, with my ammo slung on my shoulder, then pop it in the bottom of the case when i get to the range

For clays i use the Aldi fishing bag, enough space in the waterproof bottom compartment for 100 cartridges and the main compartment can take 150 more, or your shooting glasses, vest, 50 cartridges, bottle of water etc that i put in there. There's another compartment on top i put my chokes and tools in and a further pocket on the front i keep a tin of Napier gun cleaner/lube and a bore snake. ~£10

For PSG i use a 5.11 rush 72 becaue i need to haul a LOT of weight, 200-300 cartridges, full tool kit for the gun, a days worth of food, ammo belt, wet weather clothing etc etc. Its slightly water ressitant but if it starts raining i've got a backpack cover for it, or if it gets serious a 3mx3m tarp :lol: ~£100

For both the indoor and outdoor rifle ranges i just put what i need in my gun bag. Buy enough magazines that you can just load them up and take all of your ammo to the range that way instead of faffing about with boxes. I used to hump a aluminium tool box with me too but the effort wasn't worth the weight and hassle so i just stripped down what i needed and put that in my gun bags. If i was going to buy something that was guaranteed waterproof and could be used as a seat i'd probably go for one of these http://www.diy.com/departments/stanley- ... 674_BQ.prd

Yep, those Stanley tool boxes are popular. The wheels are pretty good on grass apparently.
Toolboxes do have two elements that appeal more and more -use as a seat and waterproof (water-resistance wouldn't have cut it on some of the Short Siberia deluges I've had the joy of recently

Thanks again for all the replies everyone.

I use my coat pockets or an old British Army gas mask bag.
