Quick Shooting Bench

[jlorensen]

Shot the new CZ 457 this morning.....at 50 yds, it's churning out 1/2"-3/4" groups using some Federal ammo....have some CCI Std Velocity to try next.

That said, the range I visit tends to get overrun by the AR guys about mid-morning, so I decided to whip together a portable bench I can take to my sister's farm and shoot without distraction (and out to 450 yds or so). After some web searching for ideas, I grabbed a 1/4 sheet of plywood and 2 carriage bolts......

I've got one of these I bought many years ago when I was still a member of LRH, and got to know the Legacy guys. They're really nice folks, and this bench is phenomenal. Beyond sturdy and strong. Worth every penny. I got the option for all 4 adjustable legs.

Legacy Right Hand Bench

The RH benches are currently not available and are not scheduled for another production run anytime soon. We hope you will consider the T-shape ambidextrous or the U-shape. Patent-Pending design with many unique features. Discounted shipping. View shipping cost when you check out. Internal voids...

Cool idea, I have a couple of big wire spools, I am going to make a couple of shooting benches out of. May try this.

I see more than a 1/4 sheet of plywood and 2 carriage bolts in that picture. Lets hear the rest of the parts and pieces.

Where did you get that sturdy sawhorse?

Where did you get that sturdy sawhorse?

Lowe's.....a gift from my step-son a few years back. I think I've seen similar versions at Home Depot as well.

2'x4' piece of 3/4" plywood
2 - 10" carriage bolts
2 - fender washers
2 - nuts

I already has the sawhorse, but a similar model can be found at either Lowe's or Home Depot. I just drilled two holes for the bolts, and used a couple scraps from the plywood to make "washers" to hold everything snug. Plywood ran about $25 bucks, and the bolts about $5.

I just looked online, and a similar sawhorse goes for about $50.

I went down this rabbit hole last year and almost did the same thing as you. Ended up getting a Caldwell Stable Table Lite.

Very nice job. Might not have cost that much, but I'd be happy to have one gifted to me.........
