Shooting bench Plans ( Can any one can help to get the link working )

[T 700]

These plans worked out great for me, Built two last year. Though i would share them you all. Only cost me a little over 100 Bucks to build.

Shooting Bench . html


Thanks T 700


Materials list:
•(6) 2x6x8
•(4) 5/4x6x8 decking boards
•(1) 6x6x10
•(2) lbs 3" deck screws
•(1) lbs 2" deck screws

(If the dimensions listed below are used, there will be very little wasted lumber)

Tools Required:
•Circular saw
•Screw gun
•Square
•Level
•Tape measure
•Pencil
•Rasp for easing edges
•Shovel
•Post hole digger
•Eye/ear protection

General Dimensions

The top is 36" wide by 54" long.
The bench is 32" high, the seats are 14" from the ground, making this a very comfortable position for precision bench rest shooting.

Shooting Bench Details:

The bench accommodates both right and left hand shooters. It is anchored in the ground 9", but only with dirt backfilled around the post to ease portability if it ever needs to be moved. The bench is rock steady, even without concrete anchoring, as the 6x6 legs add significant stability. The minimum use of supports means easy ingress and egress from the shooting position, (no skinned knees from rapping your legs against cumbersome supports!)

Re: Shooting bench Plans

Sure wish I owned a welder, that is a real nice bench. I've built two in the last year but they're out of wood and not at all portable. I tried to make a portable bench using threaded pipe for legs and it turned out to be a bit unsteady.

 

[doc gordon]

i would love to see these plans as i am to build a 20 station range as soon as i decide on plans!any suggestion will be appreciated.

I shoot off these with T 700 and they are built very sturdy and at a great height. Only thing is it leaves alot of open corners underneath for bees nest lol. We woke some wasps up last weekend.

If you're looking for a link to T 700's drawings they're here in PDF format:

Note they are copyrighted.

The link bozo699 posted is dead but could be found with a little detective work. I'd need to know what the title/topic was.

Dave, I don't know why the link was dead but here was the actual thread,...

Thanks bozo699 for getting the link to work. It is true the bees do like the treaded wood to build there nest on, But on the other hand they need a place to live too. I am going down tomorrow to move them out!!! These benches are some of the best i have shot off of.
