    This is true. I have five and love them. I transport any high end firearms and niht vision in mine. But, I'm just going to be using this to lug around steel targets, bags, paint, etc. and can't justify spending more on the box than the contents. If I find a good deal on one or a mili hardigg case I'll snatch it up.

    Lowe's has some black and yellow tubs(with wheels on one side too) that seem pretty sturdy. They may fit the bill of what you're looking for.



    EDIT - FWIW, I use a Plano box from Academy for my work harnesses and spare parts, etc... and it sucks out loud! Very flimsy and cracked easily. I don't think I've got it overloaded but I would not recommend them if durability is desired.

    Actually hit them up the other day and they don't have any of those. May try another location.

    That is a pretty damned good deal.

    I think $300 is more than fair, if you and Keith go in on that deal it would be worth it.

    Offer they guy $300 for the lot. There aren't a lot of buyers for large cases like that. $100 per case isn't a bad deal.
    I would if I were home. Anyone want to go in on any of them?

    Yeah for lugging around fields and other places like that you'll want something like the Pelican above, or other brand that is not flimsy. I use the hell out of Plano stuff - but they have their limitations if you're going to be rough on them.

    Although a Plano box or 3 with a yard/garden cart would be effective with the cart's big wheels and probably cheaper. Those carts tend to be available on CL too.
