How to make a Sighting-In Benchrest Table  

 

The following instruction on making a Sighting in Bench Rest is provided courtesy of Barry Wooton, a member of the Nowra Rifle Club in NSW, Australia

 

Step 1

                                                                                

 

Start by buying a set of 2 saw horses from your local hardware store about $35.00 a pair (sell one to your mate so he can make one too).

Also from your local hardware store buy a piece of pine 19 mm thick by 1 metre by 240 mm wide and 3 or 4 coach bolts 75mm long with nuts and flat washers to bolt the pine top to the saw horse.

Step 3

 

Cut of the pine excess length to the same length as the horse.

 

Round the corners (only if you want to neaten things) that’s it- add a Caldwell bag set and a stool.

 

If you are about 175 cm tall this works fine – any taller and your knees are a bit high.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Finished Product

 

Pretty solid for sighting in and when folded not much room in the car/wagon.
