Big Game Treestands The Swivel-Action Shooting Bench

Got this to shoot ground squirrels where I would be sitting for literally hours on end.Pros:BIGGEST PRO: SWIVEL ACTION!Easy to set upComfortableAdjustable (I'm 6'-4" and have no problem with getting into a good shooting position on this bench)Powder-coated finishHeavy dutyFolds flat for storage and transportCons:Heavy--BUT this means it's also steady so it's kinda a pro tooThe plastic caps on the end of the legs came off too easily IMO. I've lost a couple already. Now the ends of the legs get dirt and mud stuck in them. Minus one star.Must be careful setting up the legs and the table because they are all hinged, freely move, and can PINCH your fingers if you're not watching where your hands are.TIP:Use bungie cords to secure the base legs so they don't flail about while you carry them. Also, bungie the seat around the table so the seat doesn't flail when you carry it.I've sat on this bench shooting for literally 8 - 10 hours at a time with a few breaks and it works great without fatiguing the shooter. Pivots 360 degrees so you can acquire targets in all areas of view. Pivots quietly and easily. In fact, it's so easy to pivot that you really have to be careful to watch your backstop and where you're pointed.Highly recommend.

Product as described. This went together easily. It is a pretty heavy brute but that means it's built heavy duty. It looks like it will hold up a long time and for a lot of varmint trips. BUT, they should provide an easier means of adjusting the seat height in the field. The bolt with nylok doesn't cut it. Maybe they consider it a safety issue if the bolt and nylok nut isn't secure but it makes it a pain to make any adjustments unless you are carrying a couple of 1/2" wrenches around with you. I replaced the nylok nut with a wingnut which should have been provided to begin with. I'll probably replace that with a clevis pin. The rifle rest I would rate a 6 out of 10 because you really need to put a wingnut on both the top and bottom to keep the pieces from loosening and rotating. I also put a star lock washer under both the large and small top wingnuts. Whatever you DO go out and buy some heavy duty industrial stick on Velcro to keep things secure when the system is folded up or your fingers will be a pinch victim sooner rather than later.

I would give this one 5 stars if it had a solid top vs the expanded mesh steel and padded vinyl cover. Like everything else made in China the included hardware is really cheesy and the construction and welding left a little to be desired.That being said, I don't think you're going to find a better portable bench for the money. Once it's together it is very solid. I like the adjustability of the seat and the whole thing swivels nicely. The only real issue I could find with it is that it is awkward to carry and you have to be careful not to get pinched. I'll have to come up with some kind of straps to hold it together when it's being transported.There may be better benches out there but dollar for dollar I think this one is the best value.

This bench is awsome for the price. I can have a beer sitting on the table and swivel it with out spilling. Track moving targets with ease. The front rest that comes with it is functional but i use a cheap set of bags instead. Part of the reason i bought this bench is for the padded top, yes its a little thin but it gives you a nice work area that wont scratch your rifle and will last if you take care of it. Nice powder coat that will last, and the seat is very comfortable. Its as stable as a swivel bench will be wich is on the good side. If it had 2 more inches of table room it would be better for my long rifle (52 inches) but it works. Can leave my rifle on the bags and get up with out the rifle falling. Sweet!

I was looking at a $400+ portable bench, and I ended up getting this one because of the price and other reviews. I have to honestly say, if the $400 bench was as stable as this one, I would have been happy. I ended up buying a second one after shooting off it at 1000-yds and being so impressed with the stability. I do admit, the top is a little short in length for me, but I don't use the built in front rest, I use a front triangle rest. I just put my front rest on the front left side and my rear bag on the right rear, and shoot a little sideways on the bench-top, and it's a little more natural for me anyways as I never shoot from the "back" of a regular bench. NO, it is not as stable as a concrete bench, but a concrete bench is not portable. At least 2 of my friends have ordered them after using mine.

This product meets my needs and for the price you will not be disappointed. A couple of points, first do not try to move or assemble it as one unit it is awkward and heavy I found it is much easier to carry the tripod separate, set up the tripod and then insert the top. I followed the suggestion of another reviewer and use bungie cords to keep everything secure while transporting. Second, the rest is awkward to use, trying to adjust and secure it is a bit of a pain, after fumbling with it a couple of times I stopped using it and just bring a bag rest.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas. We had seen one in a gun shop and he thought it was cool, so I checked out Amazon. Sure enough, for less money and free shipping. It isn't so heavy, but it is awkward to handle. I was trying to figure out a way to get it home without his knowing, but Amazon solved that for me. It was delivered while he was gone so I managed to hide it. I had to wait for one of my kids to get here for Christmas to help me wrap it, but it was worth it. He was very surprised and pleased. Then, even though it was a bit nippy, they set it up and tried it out on some target shooting. They all like it.
