I am looking for a shooters box that someone might have and wish to get rid of. I have looked a the new ones but are more than I want to spend right now.
I am trying to get all my other equipment together and get the rifle shooting.
I do believe that if I get one more hobby I am going to have to hire someone to do some of them.

Croft Barker sells a pretty good set of plans for a range box and a rifle cradle and bench styx. I bought the range box and rifle cradle plans and just built the rifle cradle, the range box is next. I REALLY like the rifle cradle, it will sit on top of the range box when I get it built. A friend helped me, we built it out of very beautiful walnut!! If I had it to do over though I would use Poplar, it's a lot lighter and still strong. Croft advertises in "Black Powder Cartridge News". His emai is katbar@sprintmail.com and phone is 208.263.6953 If you build the rifle cradle email me for a hint.

If you are just looking for a tote box, Paul Matthews book "HOW TO's FOR THE BLACK POWDER CARTRIDGE RIFLE SHOOTER" page 93 has a good article with drawings. besides there is a LOT of other good information in the book also. Best of both worlds.

Rifle shooting box
Thanks for the replys, gives me some ideas. Going to go to the match at Ben Avery range this next month hope to get it together to start shooting soon. Hate to have to carry everything in a gunny sack.

Box
There is a beautiful box with a curved two part lid in one of the magizines or maybe it's on the Shiloh site..just can't remember. Anyway, as I recall it's made of leather and really pretty. Course there is a price for beauty! I'm sure it's worth every penny the company is asking...though I never did find out how much.
Still wondering as I think this could be built out of wood. A little heavier but if it was say burl and some other kind of wool...boy oh boy!
