That cart looks like a current version of the Schneller stainless cart for High Power. Ray-Vin made an aluminum one. You could try to find a used one of either. Creedmoor is still going as mentioned above. https://hic-tec.com/Shop/Range-Cart/#wbs1 looks like he took over Ray Brandes' line of gear.

I have a Magliner cart that I got in the 1960’s.The finest hand truck on the market, like another poster said add brackets to hold rifle. A friend gave me a used one of these for work, I throw it from the truck to the ground. If i can't tear one of these up, it can't be torn up. Mine doesn't have the inflatable tires and is lighter than this.Magliner Straight Frame Aluminum Hand Truck, Horizontal Loop Handle with Brace, 16" x 12" Extruded Aluminum Nose, 10" 4-ply Pneumatic Wheels

Look at Rugged Gear. I shoot BPCR, carry a lot of heavy gear. They have large tires, roll very easily, fold, you are only pushing, not holding any weight, they don't tip easily on rough ground. At the Quigley match in MT, the shooting line is over a 1/4 mile, there is about every kind of cart known there. I've been through a few and nothing compares.
That Magliner hand truck could easily be modified. The wide flat base is a plus, taller or wider wheels in gravel. A real plastic dairy tote with some modification to hold long guns vertical and room for a rest, bags, ammo etc. in the bottom. Lots of possibilities. Zip ties can work magic. Not too heavy, it needs to be lifted in/out of your vehicle.

I seem to remember folks getting the welding cart from Harbor Freight and modifying it.
That’s got my rest and bag in a case, my flags in a case and flag poles in another case, rifle in another case,
It really needs pneumatic rubber tires for gravel parking lots though.

Yep!
I'm gonna go with the red one which is just a touch bigger with bigger wheels. I see more and more guys going this route. Plus they fold up to almost nothing. That's the problem with the two wheelers. Can't get enough junk in them.

I have tried a bunch. Last one was a Creedmore. For the rough surface and tall grass at Perry, I struggled with it. Went to the foldit cart to haul my stuff and found it way easier. That price is not excessive imo. You will spend more and enjoy it less trying to cobble together anything cheaper in a dedicated cart.
A used "jogging stroller" is what we use, with ATV gun mounts clamped to the sides. Easily carries 2 rifles. Barrels point within 3 feet of stroller. Don't know if that would work for you, but it has served us well for over 10 years in USPSA, IDPA, and now .22 benchrest. Collapses down easily to fit in compact cat trunk with lotsa room in the "seat" for various sundries.Does anyone know of any good wheeled carts similar to the peterson machine?
I really like this style and may get one, but its made out of stainless driving up the price to about $700!

What I did. I added thorn liners to the tires, took out the seat and added an old range bag, pockets on either side for my Tripod and seat, and a ATV yoke for the Rifle.

The advantage of the Creedmoor or similar two-wheel carts, if they are small enough, is that as a competition shooter can put it on the line right next to you. So everything you need is right there with you. So you see a lot of them at the NRA/CMP rifle competitions. You can't bring a folding cart, stroller, etc., to the firing line but I have discovered that depends on the range and event. I think the selection also depends on how far (and over what type of terrain) you have to hump your gear. My cart is a Rube G. version of the Creedmoor conversion cart, flat-proof large tires, does not collapse easily, is heavy when loaded, but I like it.

Honestly, if money is not a huge issue, I’d stick the these which are somewhat standard… rather than trying to design something yourself. Differences between the CM and HT are how they hold rifles and how they fold…
