I use a folding big wheel cart...I think Ozark (Wally World) brand that has served me well for the last 5+ years in F-class. I have one of the folding aluminum 'dock' carts that is great but it is too large for fly-away matches. The Ozark was cheap enough to buy one on site at a national event that I flew to but at the last trip to Phoenix I paid an F-TR shooter to haul my gear to and from the match. He had room for my big wheel cart for the return trip so I kept it instead of donating it and it has been in use since then. When it 'comes from together', which it eventually will, I will likely buy a double decker that I saw at the TSRA LR match:

I use a folding cart for mobility. It handles a lot of weight.
Two rifles in cases, all match ammo, front rest, and rear bag, mat, logs, and it has a cup holder and tray on the front for convenience.

I like the folding wagons like that but long cased rifles don't fit em. The aluminum folding carts have the handle end open and longer items can hang out. Plus, big wheels work better over rough terrain.
No matter which cart you purchase, see if you can also buy or have made a rain cover for it. Someone made rain covers for the aluminum fold it carts that work very well.

any rifle that wont fit on the unit rardoin posted is way too long.
That is a double deck wagon with a 53 inch bottom. I am pretty convinced I will be ordering this one. Plus 400 lbs capacity. A guy stands up inside the wagon on the videos.

Seen this one at the SWN this year and ordered it as my old one from Dicks was wearing out the tires. Like the tailgate to hold a cased FTR rifle better.
Those plastic wheels look way too small. Check out the pneumatic tires on the Aluminum Fold-It carts. Those will take you anywhere.
The one I have been using for the past 5 years looks much like the one Monte referenced. I have used it in rough terrain, on slopes and fully loaded with Open gear. It has never flipped or failed. I keep trying to break it and it refuses to die. My only gripe is no wheel locks for steeply sloped terrain. I have to put a ‘chock’ under one of the castoring wheels to keep it from running away. The dock cart does have that advantage.
I have a similar version of those folding wagon but smaller I think it’s been okay for last few years but I find it a little small and not great on rough terrain
Might look for a bigger one like posted in this thread
I like the tipke foldit carts but they seem big for travelling
Had anyone used the creedmoor stool and cart setup? I like that it has a rifle rack

It isn't elegant, but it is inexpensive and works. The canvas cart came from Target many years ago, and the plastic bin was from Walmart. Be sure to measure before you buy. Ask me how I know. The largest widest wheels you can find, will make steering and pulling easier. The folding marine carts are nice if you want to spend the money, but my rig does the job. Inside are a SEB MiniX, two 100 round amo boxes, my rear rest, hammer, target pulling rope, spotting scope, and other odds and ends. On top is my shooting stool, shooting mat, and cased rifle. The 3 bunji cords have never failed me. On rough ground it does require more effort, especially going up hill, but it works for me.

I use a Foldit cart with foam tires. Don’t want to get a flat when using in rough areas lIke the desert.

My main issue with the Fold-it cart, other than flight portability, is flat tires. Definitely get foam filled vs pneumatic. The Fold-it cart does rattle a bit, if traveling with the cart in the back of an SUV, but a few pieces of strategically placed foam rubber will solve that. It took the distance from Lafayette, LA to a Wal-Mart in Wichita Falls, TX (en route to Raton) to figure that one out .I use a Foldit cart with foam tires.

I remember several people having blow outs in the coal slag at Raton 2012. So when I bought my fold it cart, I got it with the foam filled tires. I even used it to haul out my quartered elk last fall. I forgot to clean it after that. I showed up at Phoenix this February with elk blood still inside.
