Figured this might be the right place to ask, so here goes. If it's the wrong spot, I'll move thread.
Breaking in a new rifle over this past weekend highlighted one of the deficiencies in my equipment. Not the rifle, or me I suspect, but rather shaky surface to rest on. Looks like the rifle can shoot better than I can, and want to see exactly what it can do.
I'm now thinking about making a dedicated bench to shoot from. A quick search of the 'net, plus knowing my own skills, has me leaning toward a metal framed bench with a concrete top. I want it to be semi-mobile, but HEAVY to cut down on movement. I can move the thing around with a tractor/skidloader/forklift, so weight isn't that much of a concern. I have a pretty well equipped shop to do the metal fab, the concrete top will be new for me but have poured more than my share of flatwork so not too worried about that part either.
What are some of the better bench ideas you all have been around? Any comments on overall size for the top, height to top of surface, etc?
Thanks in advance!!
