Hey guys, Im new here, I was googleing up some info on shooting benches and thats what brought me to THR. I found Rcmodels shooting table and its just what I want. I"ve got some pipe, some shims, a 2'x4' 3/4 plywood. I know I can cut out any size I like, but I thought I"d ask Rcmodel your specs on yours.

Thanks- Kevin

Heres the link with the photo's:

I made no plans, and the table is at my buddies place about 15 miles from here, so I can't check the measurements exactly.

Seems though, that everything was stock parts.

1/4 sheet of cabinet grade plywood, (or 2' x 4'), and 3' threaded pipe sections from Home Depot.
I routed a 1/2 round groove around the outer edge to keep empty brass from falling off on the ground.

The front & rear rifle rests are self-stored under the legs when taken down.

The only hard part is cutting the angle shims for the pipe flanges.
You want the legs splayed out for stability.

If I had a do-over, I'd make the legs shorter by maybe 6".
The table is too tall with most standard folding lawn chairs, and marginal with real chairs like the one in the photo.

I need two phone books to set on! :D

Thanks RC , I sat down and figured out where I wanted the cutout, a nice cold weather project. I'll try 34" on the legs.
