Midway has their Stable Table Portable Shooting Bench on sale. A PD. hunting buddy has one but IMHO the bench is a little bit flimsy. Its useable but just a little more movement than I would desire. When Varmint Hunter Magazine was still in existence there was one advertised in there that I tried out at a gun shop in Raton,NM that was very stable. More money, but stable. I would like to find one of these better benches. Does anyone remember where I could get one? velocity is like a new car, always losing value. BC is like diamonds, holding value forever. | ||

Stucky's shooting bench is what I use now. I had long ago forgot the name of him. It's a good portable bench, but I'm looking for one that allows 360* of movement without getting up and picking everything up and physically moving it to a new position. velocity is like a new car, always losing value.

I really like this one from Cabelas. http://www.cabelas.com/product...%2Bbench%26CQ_st%3Db Weighs just under 40 pounds, folds flat for storage, easy to set up or take down in half a minute. Stable enough I feel comfortable using it when accuracy testing or sighting in. | |||

I want one that rotates 360* so I don't have to get up to reposition my bench all the time. velocity is like a new car, always losing value. BC is like diamonds, holding value forever. | |||

I bought one of the Caldwell benches that Midway had on sale. Not quite as sturdy as the DOA bench but much less expensive and much easier to move and set-up. It works out very well out to 300 yds. or so. Longer range shooting off of this bench will require a bit of learning. velocity is like a new car, always losing value.

I have used a bench made by "Big Game Tree stands" for five years or so with complete satisfaction. Two friends I shoot with have bought them also and love them. | |||

I have one also and really like it. Had a Basspro gift card and it was on sale so I got it for $50. I added a 4" shelf to the front large enough for a shooting bag so I don't have to use the included gooseneck thingy. Also added a 4" elbow rest to the right rear. I used a piece of 1x4 and bolts. | |||

build your own.....1/2 sheet 3/4" plywood.... 2 layers...24" wide x 38" long... 1.25" threaded black pipe sleeves.... welded to a 4x4" 1/4" plate.. 3 pcs 1.25" pipe threaded 31" long PVC caps on bottom.... | |||

Okay. Rotates, the cheap and simple way. Cut a piece of 1/2" good on one side plywood in the shape of an ironing board. About 14" at the front, and 10" +/- at the back. Your bench top is shaped like a rectangle with a cutout on the rear, on the left side. Full width end to the front. A set of 1/2" casters are bolted to the bottom front of the ironing board. That lets the ironing board roll across the bench top to cover about 90-degrees, or a bit more. At the back of the ironing board, where your elbow rests, drill a 1/2" hole thru the rear center of the ironing board and the bench top. Buy a 1/2" x3" or so bolt and a wing nut. Set the ironing board on top of the bench, and push the bolt thru the two holes. Snug the wing nut on the bottom. The front of the ironing board is free to roll across the bench top, but the bolt at the rear keeps it (and your gear) from falling off one side or the other. Put your front and rear rests on the ironing board, and set your rifle, and ammo container on the ironing board. Position the spotting scope to suit. Loosen the wing nut about 1/2 turn and roll the ironing board so it and your rifle are pointed in the direction you wish to shoot. Snug the wing nut, and get to shooting... www.ruggedbuddy.com is a great portable bench, about 35-40 pounds with the ironing board top in place. You can make it for about $150 dollars, plus paint or stain. you're welcome, Rich | |||

I have been shooting off the Caldwell stable table for a couple years, they are pretty handy and easy to adjust. I routinely shoot out to about 300 or so with Dog Gone Good bags. for the money they get my vote | |||

The one I use, I made. Very similar to this. Rather than two pices of 3/4" plywood for the table I used 1 1/8th" car decking. Used two pices 3/4" in the past but had to glue and screw them together. Rather than a 4x4" plate, I used wood wedges made out of maple and glued and screwed underneath the table. The wedges flair the legs out some, much steadied that way. The legs are 1 1/4 black pipe threaded on each end. One end is screwed into 1 1/4" pipe flanges screwed to the wedges. The other end is threaded and I have 1 1/4" pipe caps on them to rest on the ground. I sit on a 5 gal bucket but you could use any type. of stool. | |||

I built my own with a half sheet of 3/4" of plywood and table legs from an old folding table. It is very sturdy but will not rotate without you having to pick it up and reposition it. It does fold flat and is easy to transport. I cut it to work for both right and left handed shooters. | |||

The best one Ive seen and I have one is sold by Buffalo Arms, co. 660 Vermeer Court, Ponderay, Idaho. tel: 208-263-6953 www.BUFFALOARMS.COM Be sure an get a catalog, they have some great stuff that you wont see anywhere else. $129.00, has folding legs, heavy maple top, big enough to do anything on, light enough for one man to put in the pickup or back seat of a car...I love mine...Its not one of those flimsy rests that places the shooter directly behind the rifle, it has a cut out just like an official bench rest..long enough for muzzle loader also..

I made my own. Table is 1 1/8 cardecking and legs are 1 1/4" black pipe. Sturdiest table other than heavy range tables I've ever used. My original table was the hood of my 1960 Ford PU with sand bags! | |||

Some of these mentioned are pretty nice. Does anyone know of any good ones that adjust for uneven ground. Thanks | |||

I pretty much solved that problem by getting a Harris S-BRM Bipod, and added on an Alpha-Bravo Lock. The bipod allows you to adjust for cant, but the original-equipment knob is hard to use. The Alpha-Bravo lever is much easier to use and you can use it like a ratchet. I tighten the cant lock snugly and if I have to make an adjustment I twist the rifle to undo the cant. Sometimes I have to loosen the lock a little to twist it and then retighten it, but the Alpha-Bravo makes retightening the assembly easy. | |||

I just got the Caldwell Stable Table from Amazon for $176 shipped. It's portable, very adjustable for fit, easy to take apart, legs adjust for uneven ground, pivots 360, seems to be well made and it is pretty steady when my weight is on the seat. I'm pretty satisfied. | |||

I have a Caldwell Stable Table. I made a new base for it so all three legs are adjustable and it sits a little higher than the original. With three adjustable legs it is very easy to level or adjust for height. Wayne Johnson | |||
