A double rifle shot from a concrete bench rest can be hitting to different points of impact as when shot from the shoulder. It is quite common. STANDING BENCH RESTS? I think the surveyor's tripod to be the cat's meow. I just have to get one now. I can see several other uses for one as well as shooting. I do have a folding bench rest for varmint shooting. It just won't duplicate the standing style of shooting double rifles. I could be wrong if the o/u shoots the same from the shoulder and sitting bench rest. But most folks discourage it. That includes Graeme Wright in his book on shooting the British double rifle. Thanks. Rusty

This is a fairy tale. Purdey, among others, regulates their double rifles from a conventional sitting bench rest. Set up properly, a sitting bench rest works just as well as a standing rest. You just can't do it the same way as it's done with a bolt rifle.
