[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 3035733, member: 12443"] Type of terrain where your hunting needs serious consideration when choosing a platform to shoot from. Note that the terrain in the photo is pretty flat, making a platform without leg adjustments more suitable. The terrain where we hunt is mountainous, and very uneven. Consider how much discussion takes place about mounting a scope so that the reticle is level. So it only stands to reason that the scope needs to remain level when we shoot, regardless of terrain conditions. I carry a small torpedo level in the box my shooting rest is packed in. And we adjust the bench legs so that it is level from side to side when we set up. Yes we hunt from stationary locations, so what we use isnt what someone else might prefer. As i got older and more decrepid, i began to realize that standing while shooting has numerous advantages. And of coarse a good tripod system is intended for doing that. It is entirely possible to combine features a bench has with features a tripod has. But it isnt easy and it isnt cheap. And frankly, neither is a good bench. [/QUOTE]
