Re: Heavy rifle standing bench plans

OK, that Bog-Pod tripod is fine, but a standing-rest for double rifles, assuming large-bore chamberings, needs to be able to rest the elbows and pad the forward hand off the rest if you are to completely eliminate shooter-error and properly sight-in a big kicker. Especially so for right-and-left regulating shots from a double.

The NT Big Game Rifle Club is in the process of designing a stand-up rest for sighting/regulating up to Group 3 Nitro firearms, with padded adjustable-height forward-hand and elbow rests and a hip support. The unit has to be solid enough to remain relatively immovable under heavy recoil, so it is not surprising that 4x2 hardwood and threaded steel rod is looking like the materials of choice!

When we get this done, design details will be posted here FYI.
