Moore Accuracy shooting bench

hedditch

Back in 2017 I asked on this forum if anyone had any experience using the Moore Accuracy Shooting Bench. I didn't receive any reports so I am trying again. I am currently using the RCBS rotating bench which they no longer market for good reason. It is a piece of garbage for many reasons. I looked at the Caldwell bench and it too leaves a lot to be desired. Before I spend a $1000 on a bench I want to know it is going to work.

Actually spelled “Morr”. They look like they are built well and adjustable. My problem would be that the seat is attached to the table. Shift your wait poa moves.
 
I suggest looking at this bench which I use. It is manufactured by my son's company, along with AR500 steel shooting targets.

I do not believe having the seat attached to the main tube is a disadvantage. When you are about to pull the trigger, you are not shifting your weight.
This table has the advantage of being light, very rigid, useable for left handers by flipping the top over, easy to assemble and disassemble without tools.

You can PM me if you need more info.

True. With exactly 21 years of experience with my BR Pivot, this is and has never been an issue...ever. The shooters own weight preloads this type of bench, rendering it quite stable indeed.

Most who whine about this detail have never shot off a bench of this design, if they had, they'd have nothing to whine about. 'Jus sayin'......

No whining on my part. I have owned and spent plenty of time shooting off of a portable bench with the seat attached. Never liked it for trying to shoot my smallest groups. Whatever floats your boat.

Sure, different strokes and all that.

But I'll just add that during the time I made and sold the BR Pivot, more than just a few customers told me they had shot some of their smallest groups while shooting of the bench. I've got beaucoup targets shot from my own personal bench in the 'one's' and low 'two's'. Can't imagine shooting any better off something else......

Pete Forras, formally with Precision Shooting Magazine and Western Powders and a national BR competitor won a local BR match in Seattle shooting off a BRP. Guess it "floated HIS boat" that day.

I have that exact bench ,prairie dogs of Montana hate it....... Its very good,but not as stable as a bench at Rifle range.
 
The shooter weight stabilizing the portable bench is a no-brainer. I have one and I can say that it is very stable with my 230 pounds helping pin it to the earth . Some of my local ranges benches are wood and in bad shape,I bring my bench with me and shoot with ease compared to shooting from a glorified picnic table .A shooter that moves this portable bench while pulling the trigger would have to have one heck of a flinch .

Even though in my opinion the RCBS rotating bench lack equality, it did have some unique features such as the titling bench top. Very, very useful in hilly country and now a "must" in any bench I purchase. Also, plastic anything especially roller bearings is out. Reading about Morr's bench and watching the video shows the features but the website says nothing about the internal workings. It looks well built. There are no ratings from people who have purchased them, the reason for my initial post. I was looking for an opinion from people who have used these benches. Will I be the first? After hundreds of hours on my current bench I see no advantage to having a seat not connected to the bench and in fact, a seat not connected to the main tube would be a huge disadvantage. Remember, this is a varmint bench and not a benchrest even though it sounds like people have used it successfully as a benchrest.

I use the Caldwell stable table, for what it is it works well for varmint applications, portable, adjustable, the adjustable leg on the base is priceless when in the hills. My biggest beef is the top, its just a little small for all my gear. Will be working out a solution after this years trip. It all fits well in the box I made for the front of my quad.
After all I'm just shooting rats once a year.

In my opinion, smoothness of rotation is a critical factor. When you need to make a minor adjustment in rotation to come onto a target, the bench MUST move smoothly with no chatter or stick-slip.

Absolutely!

When on my BRP Lite shooting PD's or squirrels, I like to scan through the lowest power of my scope (6.5X) while slowly rotating the bench for targets. The bench rotates so smoothly, it's completely visually steady as seen through the scope. I've even taken a few shots at a rat that would not hold still by just rotating to follow him through the scope with the reticle....he stops, I shoot, he dies.

No chatter, sticking or squeaking here.
 
+1 for the BR Pivot bench lite. I've had mine since they first came out. Taken it to SD half dozen times and shot hundreds of dogs using it (some out to 1000 yards)
 
I had one built by a local guy. Followed the basic design of the BRP. Pretty darn solid and stable. 300.00. Non adjustable seat tho. Had him make it to my exact height for me. Heavy wood top. Thick padded seat and packable. Weight is around 75 lbs
