Some instruction to upload an image.

Click on quick reply then "full editor"
Scroll down and click "upload attachment"
Then "choose file" and brows to find your image, select it and OK.
Then "add file"
Then "place inline" and a command line will apear where your cursor was. Job done. Hit submit.

If you want see the preview by clicking that button. Oh and best to upload small images, say 150kb, otherwise they are too big to view properly.

The fold up ladders and a bench top on em make great shooting benches - ones with ajustable legs are even better.

I find that range is the biggest killer of good groups, all my best groups were shot at touching distance ;-)

Thought I would regurgitate this this thread. To cut a long story short I bought one of these from bunnings today. $20 . At 800 high a tad low but higher than a saw horse but a tad small on the bench but if you wanted that is a very easy fix.

Edit. PS, takes about 15 minutes to assemble.

So, I dug out a piece of Old ply & a can of paint. from the garden shed and made use of it. Here is the finished product. Very solid and cheap. Will just hang in the shed until I need it.

Nice work OB :thumbsup: I really like the portability factor!!! The one I made from pallets is to heavy to move easily. Might have to take a trip to bunnings next week!! :lol: :drinks:

Yeah, I think you will find the basic saw horses are $17 but too low unless your a midget. This was a better option for me. Hight is about right.

PS, some of the benches are $70 so look the the brand I got.
