My New Shooting Bench

[Mr.Gadgets]

I wanted a more stable, wider stance and more solid bench then what I was using. I built this from an old table top which was 1" thick particle board covered with a laminate, (very heavy). The folding legs were from a table which was left out in the rain and the top practically swelled up and fell apart.. . . . . good for me . The legs were a wider stance, just what I was looking for. Between the legs I added a cross brace (white color stick) for extra stability. All in all, I am very happy with how it turned out. I was able to produce very good groups from this platform at 50 yds.

Plain and simple. Like it!

Nicely done! A 'rescued' table converted to a functional rifle bench. Topped off with good groups makes for a Happy Monday

The table is nice, but that group is even better!

Good job! My Father is the King of recycling, he would be proud! Very nice group as well.

Great build. Have you thought of back pack straps ? Wheels and a shelf to carry other gear (like a hand truck) as most good shooting sites are a little remote ?

I like the table! Can you tell me what gun and caliber you shot the group with? Is this the standard group for this gun or was this a particularly good 5 shot group?
Thanks

Dsdaystate, Thanks, I guess I should of mentioned the gun earlier. It's my Wildcat 22 cal, shooting JSB 18.1 gr. I would have to say that that grouping is generally attainable, when all the conditions are right, or very close to it.
