who makes good BR shooting carts

To avoid hand-carrying multiple heavy bags of BR shooting stuff to the range, a friend told me this morning that some companies make 2-wheel shooting carts. Not sure this is the correct term since I didn't find much on a quick web search. Who makes good carts to haul BR shooting stuff from my pickup to the range. A good cart would make the trip to the rang much better.
 
I use a Fold-It but it has become somewhat pricey. Least expensive are the four wheel collapsable wagon types for about $90. Not perfect but do the job. Look on Amazon for 'carts'. Rugged Gear makes a baby-stroller style cart in three sizes that I would buy if I did not already have one.
 
Sinclair no longer carries carts. Their only cart product is the cover for the one they used to sell. They are however out looking for a suitable replacement. No luck yet, per Ron. :)
 
Stanley tool cart ;)

This might make a suitable substitute shooting cart and provide a little more stability: http://www.radioflyer.com/town-and-country-wagon.html

There's a slightly larger model that might work too: http://www.radioflyer.com/all-terrain-cargo-wagon.html

And, if you're into accessories you might check this out: http://www.radioflyer.com/catalog/product/view/id/1/s/umbrella-accessory/category/4/

I've seen these wagons on the line before and they provided a lot of carrying space and better stability than the two wheel variety. :)

Hi Cassidy, there is a lot of good suggestions been given. My suggestion would be to look at some of the new plastic trash cans at places like Lowe’s or Home Depot.
I just bought a HUGE one at Lowe's for $100.00 it holds/rated to 350 pounds or so and has large good wheels and pulls very easy, big flip top lid, rounded off square configuration.
 
I ask the same question earlier this year and ended up buying a Foldit from Amazon. The price there was close to $100.00 less than the regular price...I have really enjoyed it, have no complaints and if I had it to do over again, I would get another one just like it...
 
I just got a folding utility wagon from Brownells (Sinclair) on 8-15-14. $79.99 Works pretty darn good.
Stock number 100-014-089WB

If you want something really nice and don't mind paying for them, the HP guys at my range use these: http://schnellermanufacturing.com/

I've seen a lot of shooters using the Tipke cart...spendy but well made. http://www.tipkemfg.com/foldit/index.html On Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/Tipke-2100-Marine-Fold-It-Utility/dp/B00006LPPJ

I've seen a lot made out of egg and milk crates, some with 20 inch bike wheels. some were also made with steel boxes .
I bet Kelbley's has a phone number for someone who makes them,
I have one made from an old postage letter box and a luggage carrier, the wheel are a tad small though,
 
I have the large 2 wheel beach cart from www.rodrack.com

It is a fishermans cart that has very large wheels that handle the mud at perry with ease. comes standard with 8 rod holders, pull handle, front wheel, plastic cutting board, and kitchen sink (yes, it does come with the kitchen sink).

Lots of room for all your stuff, a chair, a cooler, a umbrella, and pretty much anything else you want to carry.

Make sure you get the bumper carrier that carries the cart in your trailer hitch which allows you to expand the carrying capacity of your vehicle. I also have the bicycle gooseneck so I can tow it behind my bicycle when I go to the beach, camping, around deer camp, etc. I have made a couple of accessories to fit in the rod holders like gun rack, beer can holder, bottle opener, large wood cutting board, and spotting scope stand.

I find that is carries so easily on the back bumper of my explorer, I am taking it everywhere, the beach, kids soccer games, camping, pier fishing, shooting matches, and it also works for transporting a keg down to the lake.

A bit pricy but I have been using mine for over 5 years and I have long forgotten how much I have invested in it.

The Tipki Fold-it carts are very popular on the range. I bought one a couple years ago at Sam's club for way less than half price, it doesn't say "Fold-it", but is identical. It is rated at 300 pound capacity.

I paid $99, and a week after I bought it, they lowered the price to $79, I don't know what they are charging now, but surly cheaper than the original.
 
Here's an inexpensive idea: get one of these foldable carts from Walmart or Harbor Freight, strap on a crate of whatever size suits you and add gun holder like the Rhino to one of the bars and you're good to go.
