IDEA FOR SHOOTING BENCH

[ebb]

I would love one of the aluminum benches but at 500it will have to remine jakes and I will use the cut up table bench I made back when Jim , Donny and I were in the bench building mode.

Portable table is M U C H more comfortable to shoot from

So tricky shooting prone on a bench though? Less is more. Can go anywhere and shoot well.

Yes indeed. I remember that thing and the guy behind it.
I still wonder how many sold.

I made a shooting bench based on the Ryobi miter saw stand, the brackets are the QD type and work well. Very stable out in the fields.

Post a pix maybe ?

It is no engineering marvel but....The single 3/4 top seems like it will be plenty stable--legs fold up and you have a built in hand truck to move it around
I just guessed on the cut out so will see how that works but overall I am well pleased
The back room of most pawn shops is full of saws and stands--they sell the saws and wind up with extra stands cheap

Look at that sweet c10 !

The C10 is a rescue--pulled out of the barn after a 21 year sit--My wifes uncle bought it new in 1966 Did mechanical resto on it Bone stock 6 cyl 3 on the tree--none of that Calif lowering business on this one

I actually saw one on a guys “Reese Hitch” at a restaurant while we were out “west” one year. Been several years ago. I’d love to try one and see how it does.

My Dad had one. It was the first manual transmission I drove. I was an easy student and never harmed the tranny. I wish the truck and he was still around.

Mark, for the price, I'd think that thing should have the ability to locate targets, reload your ammo and clean your rifle. But there's always someone out there with more money than active brain cells.

In all the time I've spent afield shooting grass rats, I've never encountered one of those behemoths in the wild. I've encountered picnic tables, ironing boards, saw stands, every pivot bench imaginable, but not one of those.....ever. Yours is the first "sighting" I've heard about.

 

[markT]

Yea, the one I saw may have belonged to the inventor and he was out marketing it for all I know. It would be like a praire dog rifle with one of those high end BC’z paint jobs. Haha.

The thing about that truck is Finally I have a classic that I can't sell--it was bought new in 66 by my wifes uncle--so I must keep it--She is a great ride--Thanks

I had a 64 short-bed fleetside back in the late 70's. loved that truck. That '66 brings back fond memories.

No kidding! My neck would be toast after the first few hours of prone. After three or four days?????

Agreed. I have a tall bipod and shoot seated. With practice and the right set-up it works quite well out to 350 or so, and it's much more mobile than a bench.

@ebb and @Dgd6mm , i think my shootin' bench, of which yall have one built just like it, cause it was my plywood, looks pretty dang good. Even with a Savage with a Sightron

I hope you don't mind Jim, but the best looking thing in that picture is the ponytail blonde shooting the rifle on the bench.
