Great cheap idea
Hi some verry goog tips on hear thanks
thanks for this - had some clamps in the toolbox which i've never used!!
works a treat
Guitar Wall Mounted Bracket screwed on a block of wood and you can use it to shot of
Bean bag bench rest for me
Very helpful tip nice one
Sorry that I was late in spotting this but try Amazon.co.uk! They have that one and many many more! Just searched for "rifle shooting rest" and found loads!
Also, rod rests from fishing tackle shops! Some are rubber (about £5 for a pack of 2) and I screw them into my workbench edge to keep rifles safely propped up whilst having them handy for service etc! Could likely be adapted for use with shooting bench too!

May today be the best day of your life and all your tomorrows even better!!
Great thread. I understood that a springer had to be un-clamped because it was supposed to move to absorb the spring shock. If I can zero it by clamping life would be a lot easier.
Sometimes i cant see the wood for the trees, what a great collection of idea's .
Some interesting ideas but one to be aware of is when using a Deben bench shooting rest, the rifle can over balance which happened to me, some rifle scopes are very heavy making the rifle top heavy and the slightest degree out of centre can have the gun over. I found all kinds of new swear words when that happened to me.

Useful , I even have a set I can use.
[QUOTE=jackal;5028821]Got a couple of tips...One might sound a bit...Odd.
The first one I like to use when zeroing in, is an old wooden seat my father made me when I was a kiddy, apart from sitting on it I had no other idea of how or why I would want to use it - its tiny. That is until I was looking for some kind of rest thingy-ma-jig to rest my rifle on & found that this little wooden seat works very well. Its about 1ft long and a little under 1ft in height and has 'V' shaped legs so its perfect for holden my beloved Concept Super Six in. Plus, when laying prone its just the right height and it is pretty much boxed shape so I can hold a few things in it, pellets, lense cleaing clothes etc.
The other tip is kinda "different" but quite effective although worries me of what goes through my mind, but anyway. It being, a bra. Yes, one of those lady-girl things. Simply get the 2 peices that join up at the rear of the lady-girl and securely nail to the upper part of a door frame (garden shed, back door looking outside etc) at about 2ft apart, then its just a case of placing your rifle inbetween the cups or whatever they're called. And there you'll have a quite effective support for your air rifle. However, adjustments to the bra may need to be thought through due to ones height etc. Also, "cups" of the bra can be used to store pellet mags depending on size of the bust.
Warning: Lady-girl could possibly be very angry! I shall not take any responsibilities of any unhappiness, marital disputes etc! [
