Caldwell 252-552 Stable Table Shooting Bench

Works well. Made of sturdy materials and fully adjustable for my needs. Can be broken down and carried easily

Great option for bench shooting! For reference, I grew up sighting in rifles shooting either prone supported, or even seated (not a great option). For the past 15 years or so, I used my Dad's "Buck Bench", which is foldable but really is hard to stabilize unless it was placed on very flat ground. The thing I like best about the Stable Table is the adjustable position and height of the seat, which really makes this great for stable shooting. The lip on the edge of the table surface keeps ammo and expended brass from rolling off. This thing is really heavy, which obviously makes it very stable, but don't plan on carrying this table too far, even with the Caldwell bag. If I had one very minor complaint, it would be the size of the table is just a bit small. The table surface is big enough but a little extra real estate would be great, maybe just two inches wider and longer. Two more suggestions for improvement: 1) Add threaded feet on the end of the three legs so you could level this out on uneven ground. The locking bolt for one of the legs does allow some amount of leveling, but wasn't enough for the slope at of the places I like to go shooting. I bring different sizes of wooden blocks ranging from 3/4 inches to a 4x so I can level out, and am also throwing a magnetic torpedo level into my range box to ensure the table surface is as level as possible. 2) Change the surface material of the table. It is a little slippery, so perhaps a spongy surface that would lock in sleds, bench bags, etc. Still, even with these suggestions, I am totally happy with the Stable Table and would highly recommend it!
