Shooting Bench

[ridethemessiah]

Ok guys, go easy on me. Me and fellow MDS member KingCrabb have a friend with some wooded property and his son (also a friend) built a 100yd range on it when they first moved to the property. For years we've been shooting from an old steel patio table with a piece of bleacher board laid across it. So me and KingCrabb thought we should do something about that. Here is the abortion that insued lol... It's not done yet, i will keep this thread updated with new pics.

BTW, blame me for the paint job.

The bottom has an area where a plastic storage container sits to hold staple gun/tape/targets/etc. We made a rifle holder that should store about a dozen long guns so you aren't laying them in the dirt.

I've got marine varnish to protect it all. 1/2 wood dowel to seperate the guns and keep them stable. 1/2 inch quarter round to nail on the top to keep cartridges from rolling off the bench top. I'm prob gonna make an integrated rifle rest as well.

Here's my newest bench I built back in the Spring. Every joint is screwed, glued, and caulked. Solid as a rock.
