Pachmayr pistol range box

My father had one, covered in alligator grain material. I was glad to inherit it - Until I had to carry it (loaded) from the car to the firing line. It really needed big wheels & a handle - or 2 wheel dolly. I kept dads B&L spotting scope & SOLD IT. For years I used my Leather Mailman's Shoulder Bag with pistol rugs, + tool pouch inside..
5 years ago I came across a small alligator grain suitcase, half the size of the Box I sold. When laid flat I had room to install a four gun foam pistol rack, leaving room for a my Zeiss Monocular, Magazines, & Ammo. IT is less top heavy, & I can carry it very easily - & it looks very professional. ALL Extra stuff goes in my Mail sack (extra ordinance, lunch, etc.)
>I'm Writing this - so those of you who don't have, & WANT the big box - won't be miserable with Envy. Careful What you wish for - & think OUTSIDE THE BOX for your needs..

Here is one my FIL made back in the fifties, when he got out of the service. He was a master class shooter in both rifle and pistol. You can see that I had to replace the original leather strap and bindings, as they were badly rotted. I added the scope mount/arm when I shot my first match at Perry in 2014.
Rather plain looking, but effective!
