Default My latest purchase

I thought I would share this with you all. Most of you know I am not too clever on my pins so I have for some time been looking for a shooting bench to enable me to carry on with my sport.

After searching I have come up with this.

: Gallery

Above is a link to pictures I have taken and shows all the bits you will need to use.

The Bench was delivered by UPS exactly when I was told it would arrive. The shock was the £32-15 they asked for before they would let me have it (Import Tax)
The Cost of the Bench was $189-99 (Carriage was $107).

I ordered it from Cabela's http://www.cabelas.com on 19th of June. It arrived here on 26th June.

I fully assembled it in less than 2 minutes without any trouble. (even with my problems)
I tried it out and found it to be very stable and solid. It can be set up for either left handed or right handed shooters or in the centre if needed. If you do not wish to use the gun rest it can be left off altogether.

Taking it down is simple just press both sides of the release buttons and it folds down.
I chose to purchase the black carrying case. ($49-99) so it stores away without collecting dust.

The total weight of the Bench is 32lbs.

So I am Very impressed and can't wait to set it up out in the field all cammed up ready for some Bunny Bopping.

Regards
Barry

But hopefully it will keep me shooting and if it does it will be worth every penny.

Nice bit of kit...seen a few of these over the years inc the wooden one John Purcell used to make but yours is very nice and like you said if it keeps you shooting it's worth the money.
