My wife made the leather elbow bag, along with two nylon ones

Looks really good, Otony.  I've just about settled on using that same front pedestal and am having a hard time finding a carrier it likes.  I'll have to look into that RIGID™ unit.  are the boxes and cart available separately or only as a unit?

That will work, good idea. Finally got my stuff down to a shooting box and one Rubbermaid tub.
Took a folding adjustable muzzle rest and a different spotting scope stand, but it all fits including the spotting scope.
Rifles, cartridges, and  cleaning rods separate.

Nice setup and if it works for you that in itself what matters!

I was in the same boat for far too long. A trip to the range usually included multiple bags and boxes…and inevitably something was forgotten. 

The worst was when I drove several hours with a couple of friends, a trunkful of guns, and plenty of ammunition except for the one revolver I really wanted to shoot. After that I began experimenting with this system AND a check off list!

This seems to work, and the four boxes disconnect from each other quite easily, so loading them up is a breeze. 

I really gave a lot of thought to buying a Gerstner box, or one of the copies thereof, but buying all these Ridgid products and the Harper dolly was less expensive overall. Not as aesthetically pleasing perhaps nor as “period” in appearance, but I am very well satisfied.

I use this for all my range trips, regardless of what we are shooting. But I visit this forum because I’m a beginner at shooting with single shot rifles and cast bullets. I have a Uberti 1885 low wall that I am bringing to John Taylor next month. It is a .22 Hornet but will be lined to .25-20 with a 1 in 10” twist. I’ve been collecting reloading equipment and various items in order to start my journey.

I originally was going to build up a Martini action in .25-20, but two deals for rifles fell through in succession so I jumped on the Low Wall when it became available.

I currently live in Walla Walla, Washington so there are a fair number of shoots going on within reasonable driving distances.

Edited to add that I’ve owned several Shiloh Sharps, a .45-70 and a .50-70, plus a Swedish rolling block that John Taylor barreled for me in .50-70. I’m not a complete neophyte to cast bullet shooting, but everything I did before was just to have fun, I never competed.

Reading here has taught me quite a bit, and hopefully I will be able to put it to use and enjoy time with like minded folks. I don’t know if I can be competitive, but I’m happy to try.

My range is 120 miles one way. Seems every time I go, I have forgotten to take something important. I need to do a box like that & leave it packed. Nice set up.
