Portable Shooting Bench

[RockChucker]

Just received mine in the mail today! I'm pretty impressed considering the price and portability. Weighs in at 28 pounds and takes maybe 5 minutes to assemble. All ground contact points have adjustable feet.
May not be as stable as a concrete bench but very acceptable for varmit shooting in the field. Its easier on the back when you have to carry it.

If you wish more information please PM. I have no interest in the business that makes these nor will I profit from them. I'm just a satisfied customer who wouldn't mind passing on some information when I'm treated right.

The name of the bench and where you got it would be nice to know. Also do you think the little feet will sink in the dirt pretty easy?

 

[RockChucker]

Forgot that the bench also comes with a Reloading press top mount that replaces the shooting bench.
About the little feet sinking into the dirt, shouldn't be of a concern since it will only sink till it hits the frame. If it keeps sinking beyond that I would suggest you relocate to solid ground other than the quicksand that you set up in the first place.

the big shooter

I bought a big shooter from ATR.... I love it, in fact i find it better than most benchs at some of the ranges i frequent.....


About 7 bills tho, but finely crafted, swivels awesome fer gophers......
Do a search on it fer pics..... ATR is the canadian distributor.....

Big Shooter does look good but..................

How much does that Big Shooter weigh in at? vs 28lbs
Cost $700 vs $175 for the difference hope it comes with a porter to carry it.

true dat

but i like the smooth turning bushed system on it....... And for weight, how far do you carry yours from the truck????? I dont carry mine too far.....

Price?????? I try not to let price get in the way of my hobbys.....Otherwise it will lose the fun factor for me........ Only when it gets really outa hand i pull the reins in......

All you need for the feet are some squares of plywood or metal to keep them from sinking. I would think 4 or 5 inches square would be plenty.

Looks like a nice rig!

ive got a big shooter bench and i love it

It seems where I shoot there is always fences to cross and a fair distance to walk to set up, so I travel pretty light. I use a folding job mate workstation.

i use the roof of my pickup.

 

[RockChucker]

Using the roof sounds great until Game Branch thinks your hunting!

I have a Big Shooter aswell.

Benefit of it is that it has a seat and swivels for the gopher hunters.

 

[Max Owner]

Oh yeah.

More info on the bench. Wife has warned me that she might join me at Summerland next year.

Hey Rockchucker, You still want me to build you one of these to set on there? And if so what colour?

 

[RockChucker]
