Inexpensive range case
I've been keeping a watch for something to use as a range case that wouldn't cost a fortune. I was at Harbor Freight Tools yesterday with a handful of coupons freshly harvested from their latest mail flier. It wasn't on my mind at first, but when I saw the tool cases I thought one might be good for a range box. The best looking one for the job is item #36871 for $34.99. I had a 20% off one item coupon and that brought the price down to $27.99 plus tax.
The dimensions are H~12", L~18", & W~8 1/2". It weighs around 7 pounds or so. There is a divider on each side where you could put at least one pistol and room for ammo and whatever else in the center. There's a holder for pens on one side of the inner top and a couple of "pouches" for the credit cards to buy range ammo on the other. There is a shoulder strap as well. There are two resettable 3-digit combination locks on the top. Not great security, but that's not why I wanted it.
For less than $30 it seems a good deal. I have to make something for magazine holders and it will do for carrying at least two pistols and gear. I wouldn't want to fill it to the brim with ammo and gear, though, and overload it.
It certainly looks better and there will be easier access to everything than anything else I've ever carried to the range.
Anyhow, If anyone is looking for something like this, watch for the 20% off one item coupons in their fliers and try one of these.
