Well I finally built a proper shooting bench for my Marlin 60 I don’t have any bolt 22's. My old friend (OSOK) Charlie got me interested in precision shooting. I have room to setup at 50 to 75 yards at home, I liked the bench Charlie made out of steel so he gave me the dimensions. I had heavy 2x2 square stock I made the frame out of. I did wanted the ability to move it around, I put wheels on it that retract and a sliding handle for moving. The top is 2" thick and used marine-grade epoxy for a finish, it weighed 170 lbs. when I finished. Great, time to see how the old Marlin did, it is a 22'” barrel model. It was a great varmint gun and very accurate, but was it accurate enough for bench rest? Now I was only shooting CCI standard velocity in it, on a fixed income couldn’t afford the match stuff. Some day's could pull a good group together and mostly inconsistent groups but not bad. Even had some sub MOA groups. But it was a journey I had to try.
1 inch grid on target and 1 inch dots. The hole between 1 and 3 targets is spatter and not bullet hole
