Really would love to find a setup for a steel silhouette or gong with everything to get it standing. I don't mind buying a 2x4 or metal stake depending on the style. Ideally I'd like to be able to bring it with me whenever I go outdoor shooting. Most concerned about the mounting and stand hardware. Thank you!

I'm kind of in the same scenario. Oregon Rifleworks had a setup for like $165 that included the base, 2x4, top piece, and silhouette. That's my only price reference, but will be looking around for different options before I go to buy.

@brucekr
Yeah I just was looking at highwild, they have a steel hostage target with the smaller paddle you can shoot to either side plus a stand and the attachment for a 2x4 for 155 before shipping and xsteeltargets has a decent sale different shapes of steel with different ratings. Maybe check them out too if your in the market. So it's looking like 160ish before buying a peice of 2x4 and not including shipping. Thanks for the heads up

That looks like an ideal set up for having to pack up in the car everytime you go out.

I like that Tpost setup you showed me actually. its super good price too. does it hang any style plate though? and do you think what I liked you is a good deal?

 

[arakboss]

I bought one of these set ups from cabelas when it was on sale. I haven't used it yet so I am not sure how well it is going to hold up.

That particular tpost mount is for superlock plates. I believe they have another tpost mount for standard plates.

Thanks, Ill take a look. Do you think the EZ Xsteel one is a good deal?

 

[KronDestroyer]

@arakboss I actually think that is a really great solution for permanent shooting setups. If I ever have my own land I wanna set something up for sure.

I would probably go with super lock tpost set up and 12×24 ar500 3/8 torso plate which would run you about $100 shipped, maybe less with promo code. Then you would need to buy a tpost which are around $5. The tpost set up would give you more options for height of mounting target. The xsteel looks like it would be more difficult to position at normal torso height.

Any tpost set up is going to give you the most flexibility with heights of target. If you don't mind hauling around tpost in your vehicle. Good luck with whatever route you go.

I went this route and have been very very pleased. I just bought a second set since they are on sale so I can setup two sets of steel.

You attached those to whatever height 2x4 you want your stand at, then use a cross beam. I pack this is my rig really easy, since it ends up just being 2x4's with the attachments

Then I got these for my hangers:

I was probably overly concerned with my steel hanging at the correct angle, and these make that really easy. They've stood up to some big holes too (30-30)

Got my steel from these guys. Also bought one on Amazon and wouldn't do that again. The quality on these guys is top notch:
