My New Shooting Bench / rifle /ammo

[Limitool]

I've always wanted a nice shooting bench but never took the time to build one. Last year I dismantled my old 30 yr. old large deck (built new one) and recycled some old wood. Today I got help moving it up to the new deck and got to try it out....! It works great and is very stable. The old wood was cleaned up and planed, stained and has 3 coats of a marine sealant.

I had fun shooting the .22 rifle you see and trying out (again) the different ammo thru it. I can't believe the difference in all the ammo including the "high end" ammo I've shot thru this rifle. I ordered another brick of Eley Force today which this rifle "seems" to like. It's a Texan built KIDD rifle all tricked out. It's based on a Ruger 10/22 but on steroids. It's topped with a Strike Eagle scope.

For those of you folks who like shooting your .22 or ANY rifle and don't have a shooting bench.... please take the time to build one or buy one. Much more user friendly then anything else to shoot from. I wish I would have built one YEARS ago now....! Just thought I'd share mine and advise.

Got lucky and found a well used workbench for the new pole barn.

last wood involved project was a base for a water transfer pump before I rebuilt the pump.
the pump liked to walk around when the engine was running. Plus dirt and mud potential. More so because I'm eyeing a swamp application. So platform /base it is.
Never mind how it looks.
But draining the oil and removing fasteners to take the pump apart were not helped by the %#@* !!! wood platform!!

I use a monoped shooting sick when not using a window to shoot.
A purchased , not built by me shooting stick.
There's a good reason I didn't build it.

You want square , plumb and flush?
I'm not your guy.
