The Magnum 1812 Ammo Box

Plano, the outdoor gear company named for their Illinois hometown, has announced the release of their newest ammo box: Magnum 1812 ammo/field box. In addition to carrying ammunition and possible provisions, it is also a convenient seat–certainly more comfortable than a moss covered rock anyway.

Here’s what Plano has to say about it.

The sturdy and stealthy Magnum 1812 Field/Ammo Box serves as the 1812 Hunting Stool’s adroit core and superstructure. The oversized 1812 Magnum Can is the ideal vessel for keeping shot shells sandwiches and other necessities at-hand throughout the hunt. A latched, quick-access storage compartment is molded right into the can’s lid for immediate access to choke tubes, wrenches and other small items. The 1812 Magnum is finished with a brass bail latch and a heavy-duty molded handle.

A hardwearing but lightweight ballistic Nylon wrap envelops and attaches to the outside of the box, providing additional levels of utility and secure storage. Large, zippered and gusseted pockets adorn the front and sides of the 1812 Hunting Stool, while a handy additional mesh pocket spans the back. Up top, a Nylon-covered, comfortable foam pad creates a plush seating surface for waiting out fast-flying game, while a detachable shoulder strap affords comfortable and reliable transport to and from the truck. All fabric surfaces are finished in the versatile Mossy Oak Brush camouflage pattern.

As Plano points out, you’re going to have a lot of stuff to carry when you take to the field…it’s important to have the right gear, to be prepared, and let’s face it, there’s nothing wrong with keeping your ass up off the cold, wet ground. Whether you’re dove or duck hunting or pursuing some other sort of game, the new Plano 1812 Hunting Stool might be something worth checking out. With an MSRP of $59.99 it’s not going to make you miss your next house payment.
