Got to run up to the range today and remembered the camera. Here is one rest that will raise up and down for standing and sitting. I forgot to bring the padded saddle for the top.


This clamp affair will work as a traveling rest as it'll clamp to trees or post. Just a simple bar clamp with a foam sleeve.

I made one from 2" PVC that works great for ME....yours is adjustable for various folks...very nice job.

Good idea to connect the standing rest to the pillar post!

Mac....you're a dog....I'm a structural engineer and I wasn't going to touch that. That said, however, I hope he's not in a seismic zone!

A...I was holding the camera crooked
B...optical illusion because the trees grow at an angle on the south side.
C...after digging the second hole of solid rock with a slate bar, I threw the level over the mountain
it's that dam ol photobucket program. I fixed it.

D....I hope you know we were just throwing a little levity your way. Plus, I agree, sometimes throwing a tool helps with the work....especially if it's over a mountain!

They're just jealous, Dale. None of Frank Lloyd Wright's work was plumb and true. Think about it!

I have been thinking about building a standing bench rest, you need the same table top as a sitting bench rest, just longer adjustable legs..Your half way there!

Why not just 3 legged shooting sticks?

Showbart,

not very steady if you are trying to do load work.
If a 3" magazine-full group at 50 yards is sufficient...then okay. Anything much better and you need the rifle to shoulder up and hang dead steady.
