More years ago than I care to remember I was looking for a stable light long-range shooting platform for hunting. I tried a few different platforms but none did what I wanted. All were effective in providing a suitable and steady rest but not what I really wanted. T first one I used was a surveyors tripod with a locking ball mount which I used for years and killed many deer at well over a thousand yards the farthest one over 1350 yards. The next one I tried was a shooting rest that I bought from a company in Blairsville PA which worked but was impossible to level when swinging left or right. The one I use now is one that I made and is a bench with adjustable legs weighs in at 33 pounds. You can level it and swivel 360 degrees while kneeling, siting or standing. It has an adjustment of 9 inches for elevation and uses a rear bag for the stock to ride in. Link to pictures show all three setup’s. Let me know what you think or improvements you would suggest.
