I've been looking at the caldwell stable table at cabelas for air guns and powder burners .I tried using a plastic picnic table but it was too low and was sore for days. What are you guys recomendations ?
Thanks wayde

Shooting table recommendations

I have this one. I don't use the front rest provided, but rather my own sandbags. It is pretty nice for what it is and is portable. Only negative is the fact the seat is attached to the entire rest, so your heart beat in your butt gets transferred up to the gun. Not a big deal but if you are trying to do precision shooting, I would recommend a separate seat.

I’m thinking stable table too. Heading over to my nearest cabelas this weekend about 180 miles away. They have them set up on the floor and I bet if you ask they will let you use a rifle to see if size fits ya.

Hyskore Ten Ring Portable Bench, OD... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00V72RE72?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
Can't beat this one for the money. Have it and it’s sturdy, easy to put together and portable.

I have a few benches but use this one the most.(I don't have to put it together just start shooting) And I made it right and left handed.
Not sure why pics are not showing today?

I have 3 Shooting tables:
Caldwell Stable Table
MTM Predator
#53 Protektor Shooting Bench
I like the Protektor best, then the MTM. I really dislike the Caldwell as it is way to heavy and not that stable.

The big difference I see in this one is you can not "Pivot" or rotate the way you can with the other cabelas that I mentioned above. That was why I didn't go with the one you just asked about.

MTM HIGH LOW Shooting Table. Is a fantastic table for airguns. I have not shot a powder burner off it. It is very stable.
My first choice for powder burners would be the Caldwell shooting table.

I made mine with the "Rugged Buddy" folding sawhorse legs and a 24"x48" 3/4" birch plywood panel.
Super solid and comes in at 27 lbs. Probably would be lighter but I added the deck board lengthwise for extra support.
Basic tools, skills and a bit of stain.
Turned out great and very stable. Hope my pics are showing up.
Keep in mind, I'm shooting off of a concrete patio down across my backyard. I use a 3 leg, folding hiking chair and at 5'9", it's perfect for me. If you're setting up on uneven ground,
a 3 leg table with adjustable legs will be more suitable. If I was looking for something to hump around the woods while hunting, I'd go super light weight like this:
Dead Shot Field Pod

I built one just like Chohan three years ago and like it very much. I use it every day. It is very stable compared to most portable benches.
