In Graeme Wright's book 'Shooting the British Double', he talks about British style stand-up shooting benches, with a couple of photos. What type are you using? Would you post pictures?
 
I’ve shot at Holland and Holland’s. Wonderful leather covered standing bench. I have no pics but I’m sure you could google it.
 
For an improvised standing bench, I take 3ea 5 gallon home depot buckets stack them together and put on top of a normal bench. Put a Coleman camp pillow on top and shoot off it.
 
I use shooting sticks for that. Bog Pod sticks for $90. Something like this:

The object of the discussion is not a portable rest, it is a standing benchrest used by the Brits in the regulation of heavy rifles. They are an outstanding tool in that you get all of the functionality of a benchrest from a standing position. This allows you to effectively manage the recoil of a heavy rifle with the precision of a bench rest.

Do you still have this rifle? I'm in the KC area on business and I'm very interested.

Are you planning to hunt Unit 4 this fall?

Thanks again for your support on the Rhodesian Shotgun thread. From the amount of "LIKES" it received, it appears there was only ONE person who objected. Hes also the same one who continually insisted on interjecting his posts that werent relevant to the thread.
