In Graeme Wright's book 'Shooting the British Double', he talks about British style stand-up shooting benches, with a couple of photos. What type are you using? Would you post pictures?
 
I’ve shot at Holland and Holland’s. Wonderful leather covered standing bench. I have no pics but I’m sure you could google it.
 
For an improvised standing bench, I take 3ea 5 gallon home depot buckets stack them together and put on top of a normal bench. Put a Coleman camp pillow on top and shoot off it.
 
I use shooting sticks for that. Bog Pod sticks for $90. Something like this:

The object of the discussion is not a portable rest, it is a standing benchrest used by the Brits in the regulation of heavy rifles. They are an outstanding tool in that you get all of the functionality of a benchrest from a standing position. This allows you to effectively manage the recoil of a heavy rifle with the precision of a bench rest.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
