I would tend to favor the scope buggy. Looks like the casters could be subject to rust if you put them on the grass. Also I have never heard anything but good about the scope buggy. 73 Sent from my iPad

Now that SLAS has a C-14 it might be a good idea to discuss how to move it around at SPOC.
Looking online I see all manner of devices made for that purpose priced from "not to bad" to "you gotta be kidding".
There's this simple approach: http://www.scoperoller.com/ScopeRoller11.shtml
But there's also these: http://www.scopebuggy.com/Gen3/UntitledPandO.html
Casters would be fine on the SPOC Walk but maybe the larger pneumatic tires might be better if we decide to wheel the scope away from the buildings and on to the lawn.
Thoughts?
