Made this table probably 5 or 6 years ago, left unfinished, never used it as I made another shooting bench at my shop range made out of cca 2x4s that could stay outside. I just acquired some new shooting land which will require me to bring something portable to shoot off of. Just stained and polyurethaned the top in anticipation of using, probably should have just painted it but already thinking of making something more solid and portable.

I made some of these, about 45 years ago, and mine is still going. It has been transported all over for shoots, gopher shooting, reloading in remote locations, and so on.

Some pipe couplers, sawn at an angle, that I welded to plates. Countersunk holes for screws and lenghts of pipe as legs. They are quite solid, much superior to any of the factory ones that I have tried. The seat has a shelf with coss barrier to hold fired cases while gopher shooting. Sometimes 1,000 .223, & 22-25o 4o degree Ackey. They haven't even needed a new coat of painy, alothough....

I use a Caldwell portable table and really like it. I have only used it on grass/dirt and like to push the feet into the soil a bit. Has worked great. Not a solid as a concrete or wood constructed monster bench but in my opinion a good value for the dollars.

I have that same table. Don't leave it out in the Texas sun. Mine is not flat any more. I find it a little less stable than I would like too, but I think it is just the price you pay for portablility and easy storage.
