Is anyone using a portable shooting table with their AR? I've gotta shoot on the neighbors property and they won't allow me to build a permanent table.....I end up shooting off the hood of my truck and that sucks.
I refuse to go to the public ranges with the rest of the idiots in the world......can anyone recommend a solid portable shooting table for use with an EBR? |
Here's a bench I made. I glued 2 pieces of 5/8" plywood together, then used screws to pull them together. I then sawed the cutouts using a hand held jigsaw. The legs were from Home Depot and a re bolted on using carriage bolts with rounded heads. I screwed a piece of 2x4 to the bottom of the table so the legs will fold flat. |

I found plans for one a few years back, never got the chance to build it. http://www.larrywillis.com/shootingbench.html |
| If you have a "workmate" type of portable workbench, you can make an insert for that. I basically took a piece of 2x4 and screwed a couple of pieces of plywood to the top––a wide piece in the front, and a narrower one in the back. You just use the 2x4 portion to clamp it into the workmate. It's a simple and inexpensive way to build yourself a portable bench that doesn't have to be a dedicated bench. I just use a plastic lawn chair to sit in, and it works pretty well. |

We cut out a notch like the above table and moved the legs over since the cut out forced these to be moved. 20.00, 1 cut, a few new screw holes for the new leg location, and it was done. It looks like a miniture version of the above table... scottMO |
