scrunching up behind sandbags on my metal job site box was steady but it was getting remarkably uncomfortable trying to zero my 404 that way. It has served me well for a decade, even with 400g ammo but this 430g load @2200 fps crossed some kind of line and was taking its toll.
I decided I needed a standup shooting bench so I could get a steady sandbag rest for zeroing but not wear myself out excessively. 100% scrounged material
from the barn and I didn’t have to cut anything.
It’s plenty heavy and steady but I can move it without too much trouble. Top is held on with a ratchet strap, so it comes off easily. Hope the weather is nice this weekend!
There’s part of me that is bothered by the fact that it has no diagonal bracing but 1) I don’t have the right clamps for that and 2) it is steady as is.
