Portable shooting bench design

[SecretCode]

For the money they are a decent frame to work off of. I would definitely upgrade the top especially if your looking for accuracy while working up loads. The molded plastic for a top is just that...molded plastic. Just like a cheap folding table. They have they're uses but staying steady isn't it. Plywood or butcher block top or something of the sorts and you'll be hard pressed to not make the local FB page daily!

If you do upgrade the top make sure to round the edges with a router, your elbows will thank you. Good case of sealant as well will help protect it from the elements if left outside .

I have a nifty heavy portable bench with the classic L shape cutout. I am now shooting more medium to long range at paper, steel and varmints so I want to get more squared up behind the rifle to see hits, and hopefully that mystical vapor trail through my scope.
My L shape dosent work as the recoil kicks the barrel to the right. I know shooting prone is the answer but most of the time I dont feel like laying in the mud.
I am thinking that a T design might work where one sits behind the wide part and the narrower leg of the T is where the barrel/bags/bipod would lay. And I have also seen one with a belly cut out design. Due to the cost of plywood these days I would prefer to not make prototypes! Any thoughts to help?
