JohnGalway 1,043 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 My crystal ball tells me I'll be wandering into Dunnes Stores in the near future and picking up an El Cheapo seat that I saw a couple of weeks ago. Quote Link to post
dicehorn 38 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) As an alternative I built a shooting bench from these plans http://www.guncustomizing.com/shootingbench.htm For the top I used 10mm ply and doubled it for thickness, glued it together and then screwed it for added security. The three legs I bought from Ikea (cost £7 each) and the beauty of the legs is that they screw into the base of the bench and are in fact telescopic which is great for adjustment on uneven ground. After shooting the legs unscrew for easy transit. Unlike the plans on that website, if you get the Ikea legs, they come with a separate base plate to accept the leg screws - no pipe etc needed.
