If you’re like me and already hauling your range days with Dillon Rifle Company’s indispensable Bucket or Mini Bucket, the Range Tote spotted at SHOT Show 2026 is the logical next evolution in your gear arsenal. Crafted from a rugged, waterproof laminated cotton exterior, this tote ditches flimsy nylon for a premium canvas vibe that shrugs off mud, rain, and the inevitable brass showers of a full day at the range. Sturdy rope handles make it a breeze to sling over your shoulder alongside your rifle case, while that zippered side pocket is a game-changer for quick-access eye and ear pro—no more digging through a jumbled mess mid-session. It’s not just a bag; it’s Dillon doubling down on modular, American-made simplicity that screams built by shooters, for shooters.
What elevates the Range Tote beyond another range hauler is its nod to the 2A lifestyle’s unspoken demands: portability without compromise. In an era where range bans and ammo shortages test our resolve, gear like this empowers the everyday defender to stay mobile and mission-ready. Pair it with Dillon’s ecosystem, and you’ve got a seamless kit for everything from backyard plinking to IDPA matches—implications that ripple through the community by reinforcing self-reliance. As anti-gun narratives push for common-sense restrictions, products like this quietly bolster our infrastructure, making it harder for bureaucrats to sideline our training. At SHOT 26, Dillon didn’t just show a tote; they curated a subtle flex against complacency, proving innovation thrives when freedom’s on the line.
For the 2A faithful, snag one pre-order if you can—it’s poised to become the missing link in your range ritual, blending old-school durability with modern utility. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a competitive edge-seeker, the Range Tote reminds us: the right tools don’t just carry your gear; they carry the fight forward.
