[QUOTE="RioHondoHank, post: 547643, member: 27344"] There are already bolts screwed into self locking nuts that are welded to the legs so the legs are extremely stable. They are self locking so as not to worry about losing the bolts in transit. I think these pictures were taken before i welded the nuts to the legs. The idea of only one leg in the front is to keep it simple. The tee shaped piece shown in the disassembled picture serves as both a support for the front leg and and the all thread used for the adjustable elevation. Then when disassembled it can be layed flat to take less room in the back pack. Making the front a bipod would complicate this assembly. In my opinion it is very close to bench rest stability as now configured. The rear legs could be sloped and even I guess the front, but that would require having the front rest sloped back. Also rear sloping legs might interfere with the abilty to get up close the the bench as the left leg is between you legs when seated on the ground. One of the next things I am going to try is folding legs on the back and a better way to mount the t piece to the board. Stability is important, but I also want to keep it light compact and able too be quickly assembled so there may be some trade offs. [/QUOTE]
