    It is in it's final resting spot. But I can move it with the forks on my tractor if I ever want.

    Thats a pretty damn solid bench! If I may make a suggestion, maybe pouring a slab for it on the ground if you have the ability to? Reason being, if its pretty heavy, it may sink in the ground once you get a good downpour of rain, the ground gets soft and you end up with a slightly lower bench than you started out with!
    RELIGION IS LIKE A PENIS
    Its fine to have one,
    Its fine to be proud of it,
    But please dont whip it out in public and start waving it around,
    And PLEASE dont try to force it down my children's throats.

    An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.

    Thanks stormfeather. The ground here is iron ore, and mostly rocks. Not to worried about it sinking, but if it does I will just pick it up with the tractor. It is also buried in the ground a bit.

    Is that your shooting lane? How far out can you get?

    Yes it is. The top of the first hill is about 400 yards. My property stops about 100 yards after that hill. With my neighbors permission I can get over a mile. But I don't have any optics, or guns good enough for a shot like that.

    You don't have a .22? It's says right on the box it'll go a mile. Lol
    Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.
