More shooting advice???
27/05/07 11:28 AM

I shot my 9.3X74 today, about 35 rounds. I tried a tripod with folded cloth padding for a standing bench rest. My shooting spot is a public range so a portable standing bench was required. The camera tripod was somewhat of an economical model and took some experimentation. I only shot at 20 yards. Changed my scope to a 1x4 VariX II with premier reticle. It is quite thick at the outside and brings my eye to the center for fast and running shots. I shot about one inch to the right with the first two shots. Centered it with a move to the left and it was good. Only the second time I have centered a new mount job with one adjustment. I then went on a rampage killing empty pop cans and one on the ground that was full. The loads were Prvi 285 gr at a mid level velocity by the load manual. 50 plus grains of IMR 4895. The load shredded the can into strips with a top and bottom bent but intact. There is a cool crater where the can sat. Now to the main Q. What would make a more secure upright bench that is still removable? It must be easy to disassemble for transprotation to the range and back. It may need to be midgetized for me, at 5'1". Ideas? My tripod just wasn't encouraging enough for a try at 100 yards. Thanks. RZ
