Does anyone still use one?
Anyone know the specs on weight capacity on the Vintage Pachs & Gun-ho Range cases??
My current rolling 4 gun range case is huge 3,888 cu in capacity, It hold up to 4 Large Frame Dans, 2 pair ears, tools, targets, up to 400 rounds of ammo. With 3 guns ammo capacity doubles. It's great for Outdoor Ranges where there is lots of room.
PROS: Capacity, wheels, built-in collapsible pull handle, exterior molded bumpers. foam-lined hard plastic dividers, Sturdy carry handles on 3 sides. I also run a locking cable through all 3 handles when diverting to other locations as deterrent when left in truck.. Piano-hinged lid. I could drop it from 2 stories and the contents will likely be undamaged
CONS: Huge: Exterior 20"X20"X16, Almost embarrassing to take to an indoor range where space is tight. Capacity/Weight: Fully loaded it weighs in @ 56-57lbs. Lifting into truck before shooting ain't for the weak. Locking latches could likely be compromised with a screwdriver.
Looking for something smaller about 1650 cu in with wheels and padlockable. A full hinge would be nice too.
Maybe a Pelican 1510 or 1550? Problem is the dimensions may not be a solution as a all-inclusive 3-gun range pack. Having an additional backpack or soft range bag defeats the purpose. 2 guns are always Large Frame Dans.
I like the access setup of the vintage cases. Adding a little wheel dolly would be simple. Concerned about lock/security.
What are y'all using?
Pics, comments, suggestions?

I use a regular softshell range bag that can hold 4 large frame Dans , plus ammo, ears, tools, paper targets, etc. it’s a Bagmaster brand and it can weigh as much as 50 lbs loaded.

I just use a airline carry-on bag, which has an extendable handle and wheels. Don't leave guns in it or drop from second story buildings.
