I am toying with making a scope tracking table. Please post pics of yours. Tell us what worked or what you would different.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Scope tracking tables let’s see em

Here is the sled we made.
It is a 5x5 tube 18" long with Concrete fill. It weights 45lbs.
Here is the rail we used. Rail Section
If I changed one thing, I would put 2 leveling bolts rather than 4. One in the front center then 2 on the rear corners.

From Menards I got Elevator bolts. We tacked a nut to the angles, then the elevator bolts screw into these welded nuts. We topped the bolts with a Knob
Well I put together a scope tracking fixture. Damn thing weighs just under 50lbs. I still need to paint it and put a 0 moa rail on it. Ive got a 30 moa on it for now.
I might have gotten a little carried away but I think it will do the job.

I looked at the one they made. It's well built and very nice. I was able to get all of the material for free and I enjoy doing projects like this.
I get it, I personally feel $400 is a bit steep for these, but there is a lot of extra touches here and there that add cost. Extra machining (logos), cerakote, etc... It wouldn’t be a bad example to pattern your own off of. I’ve used this one, it works great. I think the basic principle of mounting a flat pic rail to a heavy as shit chunk of metal, that you can finely adjust the position of, will work out. No need to put canted rail on it.
Calibration stand made with 2.5" receiver tubing.
Three points to level is the way to go for sure. I was toying with mine and probably should have gone that route to. It looks good, nice craftsmanship.
I really need to get a 0 moa rail to simplify things on the one I made.
I too was taken a bit aback by the Price of the TargetUSA fixture....but, a friend of mine has one so I borrowed it and it is indeed very well made and finished. It worked well.
But, I don't see any functional advantage over the DIY ones shown here.

Thanks and pretty simple and inexpensive to make. Most expensive parts were the adjustment screws which I bought from PMA Tools with the total cost less than a $100. Couple of hours of shop time and it was done. It also works for leveling scopes.
