    Default Range equipment storage / transportation- what are you using ?

    So I tend to shoot out of my truck so to speak. If the weather is nice my rifles end up in their cases lined up in my truck bed with smaller range bags and ammo boxes/cans lined up on the tailgate. The cab (super crew) ends up with the rest spread about on the rear floor / front floors and seats as I spread out.
    If the weather is shitty its a freakin mess in the cab trying to find stuff... everything ends up in the cab in transport , except for target stands , steel , shootings benches etc.
    Any of you fellers (or ladies ) in a similar situation ? How do you deal with the kaos?
    Totes ? Any in cab carpentry goin on ? Has to be removable , I need the empty floor for my daily crap and work.
    I did just grab a Rigid brand 22in tote from HD to give a shot .
    I should note I mostly shoot on private land. (Thanks Slugjunkie Lol )

    I keep a decently strong tote in my 4Runner with benchrest, bags, spotting scope and chronograph, and there's also a shooting mat, box of clays and an artist's portfolio full of targets. I need to get a stool of some kind as Great Guns has replaced all of their stools at the shooting benches with folding chairs that are about six inches too low. Steel targets stay in the garage but are easy to get to.

    Carried too much junk in the midway large bag so switched a setup in a small backpack. Just ppe, some paper targets, small stapler and ammo. Guns in their soft cases.

    Topper on my truck saves me of any outdoor weather for transportation

    Rolling plastic tool box and 3 pc tool boxes from HD. There's also a large footlocker sized plastic lockable tote i scored at a garage sale for $5. Between the 3 i can bring everything needed, including ammo for a range day. Guns in voodoo tact and other like style bags.

    I use coolers with lids that overlap for water resistance.

    I've been thinking about this myself lately. Fortunately I plan to leave all the range related stuff on site, but once I started actually trying to shoot the guns I've collected over the years I realized that between all the different guns and calibers, I've got to figure something out. Last range trip I brought 8 guns and shot five or six of them.

    That's not bad. I try to pack 3 guns and always feel rushed.

    I try and focus on something different each trip to eliminate bringing tons of crap. Maybe one trip I'll just bring a couple of handguns and just the bare minimum of gear needed. Next time out maybe just a rifle or two. Everything fits nicely in the back of my cab with the seat folded up except for target stands, steel, or other bulky, heavy stuff that isn't really impacted by weather or dirt.
