The image above shows how compact and self-contained the Benchmaster table system really is, with its integral carrying handle in view on the right. It is all self-contained including the infinitely adjustable shooting seat that cleanly folds inward for transport.
There are few things more practical or more often used than a high-end shooting table like this. You'll use it every time you sight in a rifle, pattern a shotgun, or shoot any firearm that works better with a steady platform. There aren't too many things out there that will get used virtually every time you shoot, but a shooting table certainly qualifies. All too often, even some commercial shooting ranges have rickety, warped, thin sheet metal type shooting benches that cannot do anything but hurt accuracy. There are, of course, wooden tables out there as well in various states of decay that can have an unfortunate propensity to tear up an elbow or offer up random splinters for you as well. I have the scars to prove it. All of this goes away with this type of higher-end rest.
Part of my responsibility is to evaluate rifles and it is difficult to blame a rifle for unsteady rests and bad ambient conditions. Since I shoot essentially year round, this table is almost worth its weight in gold to me. I say “almost,” as gold is now upwards of $8000 a pound, so this table would be over $400,000 with that analogy. So, I'll characterize it as extremely valuable, but given the table or its weight in gold I'd be forced to take the gold.
Active, serious shooters will quickly appreciate the quality and usefulness of the Benchmaster. I suspect long-range varmint hunters that are seeking to drop a prairie dog on top of his mound at 900 yards will want one as well. Despite its card table type portability, easy enough to slip into the back of an SUV and so forth, once you set it up you'll understand that the clean, strong welds aren't just for show. This is one tough, durable table. It runs about five hundred dollars and its usefulness is only limited by the user's ingenuity. It is made in the U.S.A. and has a lifetime warranty, though I doubt that this warranty will ever be used.
I can't help but highly recommend the Benchmaster. There isn't anything out there remotely as good or as practical that I know of. To get yours, go tohttp://www.benchmasterusa.com . I can't think of any active shooter than wouldn't greatly appreciate this shooting table.
Accuracynut.com review of Benchmaster Black Rifle Rest
The Big Brown Truck showed up last week with a new rifle rest from Benchmaster.
Benchmaster products are made in the USA, and that was my number one
requirement for a new rest. Other requirements were versatility and
stability, but also portability – I didn’t want something huge and
heavy, like most pro-grade bench rests. And lastly, price was a bit of a
factor – I had a $200 limit for a rest, and this came in nicely at $129.95
This particular model is the Black Rifle Rest, dubbed so because it
supports the rifle in a higher position than common rifle rests. This
allows for the extra height required to support the magazines and pistol
grips of AR-platform rifles . Read More
