How are you guys carrying your front rests?
Milk Crates?

I have a Farley and I am trying to figure out how to transport it back and forth without busting my knuckles and back.

Stockrex I use a case from Pelican. Not cheap but they are padded, water proof, and close extremely tight, also a little on the heavy side. Think about the cost to replace the rest should you drop it or damage some other way and they become more affordable.

froggy, does it have wheels? do you have a model #?
I hear you the Farley was not cheap...

No there aren't any wheels, but I use a collapsible wagon ( Amazon $70 ) and carry all my stuff to the bench with that.
There is a company I think it is Bolton that sells a Pelican nock off for about half the price sold on Ebay or they were sold there. Most of these advertise the HxWxD in the description, so if you have the dimensions of your rest you can figure out what size to buy.

StockRex, I was just surfing through Bruno's site and saw that Farley makes a hard case for their rest. I would try Farley's site for additional info. .

Watch Craigslist in your area for used Pelican or Hardigg hard cases. Often times you can get them for fairly cheap. Here's a perfect example...

Stock does this work? if not they have different sizes.

Cheapest option out there for smaller rests: MTM Ammo Crate (http://www.mtmcase-gard.com/products/shooting/ammo-crate.php)
(http://www.mtmcase-gard.com/products/shooting/ammo-crate.php)
MidSouth Shooter Supply has them for $15. You will have to get your own foam, but that's available at any good crafts store. Given the height you'll probably have to pull the head off, but that's easy enough to do.

I will measure the base later today, it is sitting on a 5 gal bucket now, wheels would be a feature, hmm, maybe I need a range cart,

that is a good looking case, I will get a few to store stuff if it does not work out for the Farley,

Thanks guys!
