I wouldn't be surprised if the NRA Protest Committee were to take issue with the front vertical edge/lip you have installed on the bench. Allowing your bi-pod to rest against that edge/lip could be seen as an advantage to you. They may or may nor require your shooting surface to be completely flat.

true that is why i told to send pictures, but on that point i believe most F-class shooters use there loops on there mats to hold the bipod in place, i know i use too.

 

and thanks all for the links and i promise i will check them all out.

 

also i am hoping to link up with one of you soon who better explain what i need.

This is what I am talking about, but bigger.

WOW, now that's the sxit. but yes bigger. to allow use of a bipod. but that shooter is able to bend forward into his gun and i can not do that, so would a bigger one still work?

Would you be interested  in using something like this?

Looks like it would give more room for you arms to move around the rifle.

Just putting ideas out.

thanks but again i am sure the rear support would make it illegal. i know suppresser's are also illegal but at club matches no one complains, i did one time show up with a suppresser and a rear mono pod the other shooters did not like the rear support so i removed it.

So RWF, you can use a front rest but not a rear rest, is that correct?

Does the front "have" to be a by-pod?

correct but you can use a rear bag.

no i do not think so as i have seem some very nice highly machined "bi-pods"

Looking at the Handitasker reminds me of some plastic I used in a project.  Essentially, it's the same stuff the white cutting boards are made of.  I got some scraps from a company in Louisville a few years back when we lived there.  When I say scraps, these were like 15" wide by 36" long.  A few of those and you'd be set.

 

I don't remember the guy's name I spoke with but you might call and tell them what you're doing and see if they could ship you some scrap.  They have all different thicknesses.  You could get the 3/8" stuff and cut holes in it to relieve some of the weight.

You may already be up and running with this, but have you considered replacing the work table base with the legs off of a camera tripod? It would cut massive amounts of weight plus give you height/level adjustment built in.

I was just thinking the same thing. Maybe a light weight table top that hooks into three camera tripods. Two out front and one on the right side. It would be lightweight and height adjustable. With nine legs should be stable as well.
