Looking for a Big Shooter bench rest

You realize this thread is four years old....and your request would be beret suited in the classifieds.

I suggest you check out this one. I have one and I use it for prairie dog hunting. flip the top over for a left hander. It is VERY rigid, no slop in the fitments, and has a bronze bearing so it rotates freely, with no stick-slip, even with a heavy shooter on the seat. The pivot bearing is 6" long, so it doesn't wobble The top is 13 ply Baltic birch plywood, 3/4 thick, nice and stiff.

Here's a couple pics. I added the padding and vinyl to the seat. The top is cut away where you don't need it, and allows both elbows on the table when you are using binocs.

I have a pair of Rapid Rest Shooting Benches, they fold easily with a carry handle.

I'm sorta biased towards the BR Pivot too......about as stable as a rock, and "vehicle-served portable". I've used mine since 1998, and it's still going strong. Just returned from a 5-day ground squirrel shoot, and it performed perfectly once again during the firing of over 500 CF rounds, mostly .20 Vartarg and 204 Ruger.

My BR Pivot Lite with my Cooper M38 VR .20VarTarg aboard:

If you're after PD's, a rotating bench is about a must unless you like to pick your bench up and move it every time a rat pops up out of the fixed line of fire......been there. Midway does not offer the Lite version, but their standard model does everything you want. Good luck with the quest.

I have something like rick in Oregon, very sturdyand also tilts up and down, will not ship! live in central Missouri! probably around 500.00

HMMM....How would that hold up to an 80 MPH day on interstate?

Don't have to get on Interstate! My 1000 yard firing line is only 500 yards from my home!

folds up flat to lay in the truck bed, sturdy enough to load test on out to 300yds.

My squirrel shooting buddy and I both have Big Game Swivel Action benches and while we have both modified them they are pretty darned good in their standard configuration. We've enlarged the footprint of the table, added bearings to the swivel and most importantly added rod ends to the table support allowing rapid table tilting up and down. Cabellas has them on sale at times for $99. When looking at them make sure it is the three legged version. The one that has legs like an ironing board is unstable and does not swivel.

I built one off these too, actually it's pretty slick. I routed a semi circle groove for a bipod, and cut a slot for a handle also.
