    Excellent method. Mine have fairly soft jaw covers already fitted so didn't need the felt.

    Fixing some foam or bubble wrap onto the bottom steel bar helps prevent marking the stock if there are any fumbles while you are setting it up.

    Fab idea

    Many years ago I bought a set of these clamps. I used them once but have kept them despite debating on throwing them out !!!!!

    After spending a good few hours learning about By Pods I will after all use my clamps a TOP tip for sure

    Top Tip

    Top Tip indeed, I'll be using this in a few days when I FINALLY take delivery of my HW95K.

    Just the reason I joined this place!

    Bench

    Hi

    I used a B&D workmate but found the folding legs were not stable enough. I used a gunsmiths tray (which has a vice kile attachment on it with protected jaws) and is much more stable and allows ease of loading and access to the trigger.

    I bought it off about 6 months ago and only cost me £10 which is far lesss than a workmate but I suppose canot be used for DIY (is that a bad thing?).

    Bench testing

    Hi

    I have tried the "soft jaws" that you can buy from B&Q but found them too abrasive on the blueing on the barrel.

    I could not find a suitable way of holding my underlever with them either since they allowed movement when cocking.
    The only answer I have found is to buy a second hand guns smiths tray off E-bay. I got mine very cheap (£30.00) and it does a brilliant job and is usefull for other things as well as just setting the scope.

    Hope this ramble helps someone.
