I recently joined this forum and thought I would share some pics of a solid aluminum benchrest stock I made for a friend a few months ago. I really don't know much about this type of shooting (600 yards) and built this from his drawings. Maybe it will give you folks a few ideas...the finished gun weighs 35 lbs....

A surface plate that siz is way heavier than the 3 of us could carry without a fork lift. Put that i the back of your Toyota and the front wheels would be off the ground and the back bumper dragging.toyfj40 wrote:I like that 'table top'... keep the doors locked, I might come get it!!

Don't be stealing the layout table!!!...
You can't have it. I work at a machine shop with my dad and he says for as much as it cost, when he dies he wants to use it as his headstone!

Re: Don't be stealing the layout table!!!...
That's what we always called them. When I was in the engineering and machining trades up into the mid 70's we did some large molds and dies for the plastic thermoforming business, we made tooling to make refrigerator door liner and the box liners also, we had one mutt have been 4 foot x 8 foot and at least a 1-1/2 foot thick. Must have weighed many tons, but it was stable. If you have a stone as big as I see. you must have a very good machine shop and I like your Classic 1-2-3 block also. Benn a lot of years spice I did that kind of work. I was in engineering but was only one o two people that could run machinery also. The shop went on strike for a few months and I ran theme 40" x 80" horizontal Cincinnati Milacron and the night foreman ran the 2, 20" x 40" verticals. They were early CNC and ran on odd parity one inch paper tape, with a whole lot of circuit board full of electronics, no such thing as a microprocessor back then.boltbusterdw wrote:You can't have it.
