[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 71491, member: 10"] Steve, Nice shooting, especially with a 22-250 at that range. I suspect you two will not have a problem with your 270's. One little tip on a mobile shooting rest. IT looks like your truck is a full size. Take a 4x8 sheet of 3/4" plywood or pressed board and cut it to length to stretch across your bed rails. Then take two lengths of 2x4 and on one side of the sheet screw them on so they form an X on the bottom side of the board. Allow there to be roughly 6" from the tips of the X to the edge of the board. Drive the screws from the opposite side of the board into the 2x4s. Postition on the bed of the truck and clamp in place when you get to the range with soft jaw clamps. Then you will have a shooting rest that will be roughly semi-standing height and with X on the bottom will offer cross support so the board does not flex as much. I did this to my S-10 and have it bolted on the truck. Makes a great shooting platform and is totally mobile and much easier on the elbows I assure you. The only issue to rock solid stability in my area is if the wind is blowing hard and the truck is rocking. This takes about a 20 mph wind though. My smaller S-10 did not need the cross supports on the bottom and I am able to shoot using my 15 lb front mechanical rest, a 10 lb rear bag and even my 36 lb 50 bmg with great results. Normal rifles are not even a stress on the board as far as weight is concerned. Withthat new truck I would recommend clamping the rest on the bead rails and removing when not in use. Only takes a couple minutes at the most for set up. Also makes chronographing easier on a tripod. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
