Check this outIm skeptical of most of the manufactured ones that are affordable. I feel like there is some kind of logical rule like: portable, sturdy, cheap; pick two.
But I will ask anyways...
Does anyone know of any DIY portable shooting bench plans?

I was just looking at one of these, but wondering how stable it is?I've also seen a few that use a pair of sawhorses that have adjustable legs for leveling on uneven surfaces.
I figured I would try it and if it wasn't stable enough to repurpose the sawhorse and build different legs. You could also possibly try two. Never got around to it because at teh time I couldn't find the sawhorses due to "supply chain" woes.I was just looking at one of these, but wondering how stable it is?
Theres some good ideas in there, thank you. I like the heavy wood 3 section idea...Check this out
I looked up that sawhorse its available on Amazon. I like the adjustable legs but am skeptical they arent wobbly, and the tabletop screwed to the single sawhorse in the middle doesnt seem like it would be stable either. Looks easy enough though.I figured I would try it and if it wasn't stable enough to repurpose the sawhorse and build different legs. You could also possibly try two.

Can I get the threaded pipe and couplings at Home Depot? Do the couplings come welded at an angle?Same as slimmer 13. Took 1/2 inch ply, glued together for 1 inch. Cut the top shape. Then mounted some galv pipes for 3 legs. Cut to length desired. works like a champ. trickiest part was working a decent angle for the female couplings and what angle i wanted the pipe sticking out at,
Stable and easy storage,
Picked up all supplies from home depot.Can I get the threaded pipe and couplings at Home Depot? Do the couplings come welded at an angle?
yeah, these are the two designs that stand out to me most. I like the simplicity of both.I do like the simplicity of the 3 section portable bench made with 4x4 legs as shown in the link PVO provided. (last one shown way down at bottom)
Except for different coupling attachment, this is what i built.
Mine is made from a plywood top and legs from a folding banquet table. I used wide legs in front and a narrow set in back. I got mint from old tables that had damaged tops, but you can get the legs at Home Depot. It would be easier to level if I had used only three legs but I carry wedge type door stops to level mine. It is very strong and stable, and folded can be carried in one hand. I have made several , but the one I still use has been in my garage for at least 25 years. no wobbles no problems. Its just the right hight to use a 5 gal bucket for a seat. DRIm skeptical of most of the manufactured ones that are affordable.

you get several bonus points for that shop junk rifle rest, thats just clever right there.Man, I hate to admit it but I typically get by with a cheepee folding camp table and my 'shop junk' throw together rifle rest
