Mind explaining the use/rationale? I is curious.

We'll use it for aligning rifle scopes and plinking with our 22's and such at different ranges. I already have padded rests but I'll have a few small sandbags too.
I'll post some videos once it all comes together Rudi. I've been a collector of guns and ammo for around 40 years, most of them have never been shot, I've always depended on my Bows. I also picked up a nice skeet thrower and 4 cases of clay discs about 10 years ago, never opened the box yet. :roll:
Never dreamed of ever having a son to hand them down to so Gray Cub and older half brother can brake them in now. :wink:

John, Grayson might take a late model white Ford pickup in on trade. :{_}:

Thanks Yogie.... will be lookin forward to the video. I am hoping to find a real nice FN-C1A1 to go hunting with. I like the 7.62 and the weight/balance of the C1 :D For varmints, hoping to get Em's father's 22 Winchester Cooey short .. that would be cool too.

Thanks everyone !
After looking things over a little closer I added a removable booster seat for some of the beginners that come by.
Scrivt and I were talking a little about how pests like to build during the summer months so I picked up a couple cans of spay to keep close by.

Good looking bench there Yogie. Being a lefty myself, it's nice to see the set-up both ways.

If you have already tested it, ignore my comments, but it appears that the seat is cantilevered out over the support legs and I'm wondering how much weight it will hold without tipping? :?:

Sharp eye there Poppy, after building the booster seat I had Grayson test it out with one of his rifles and found him to be a bit back from the table. I changed things a little and moved the seat in about 3 more inches. It's so heavy i think it could hold several people shooting at the same time with no problem. :wink:
