Great job on both. Bench looks great with all the leg clearance and being adjutable. Nice Sled is super job also. Nice and easy to move or change out supports... Make sure you cap the pipes, or water will freeze and split pipes. Would love to see your gongs or silhouette's, action targets, when get them done.. Bset is the scrap iron part

Bartender, bring me anything except brake fluid, cause I don't plan on stopping!

Thanks for the kind words. The sled with target installed is very light, no problem loading it in a pickup or moving it around on the ground by yourself. I had really planned to fill the pipes with water for ballast, if they freeze and bust then so what. More concerned with wasp with the open ends. That was another reason for suggesting the cee purlin - I will probably fill one up with rocks or fire wood for added ballast. On the next one I will put lock nuts on all four sides of the 2X4 receiver. Another cute trick is that I hang a plumb bob from the side of one of the 2X4s on a nail and a line level on the scope base to get a true vertical adjustment on my cross hairs. One degree off is huge from 100 to 1000 yards. Check this out for gongs: http://www.arntzentargets.com/products.htmCold roll steel will not cut it with 210 gr. bullets from a 300 Wby.
