Who has one? Which one? Like it?
I'm looking at two, The Legacy on the high side $400. Slow set up X-Stand on the low side $159, fast set up
will be used for Prairie Dog hunting and wherever I might need it.
Thanks

I know it's a lot of money but the Legacy is nice. Another option is to buy one from Ramball, probably ~$300 but would last a lifetime.

Ramball on here make some good ones out of metal. Very strong and durable. It is the exact collapsible table that is out at Jason's.

Buzz I shot PD's 10 or 12 years. I made 2 different models but, later I bought one at Cabelas that would swivel 360. You didn't need it to swivel that much but it is very steady and folds up nice. It is out in my shop, I think it is a Big Game. It really worked for me. I think I paid appox. $150. I did do some mods to mine, I have a larger than average butt. I went to TSC and bought me tractor seat and it went right on and a lot more confort.

I have a few of the Legacy benches and they are very good and made right here in central Texas. I have tried the store bought ones but they have not been stable or roomy enough to suit me.

Not sure of make/model but there’s one in the Bargain Cave at Cabelas.

This one on the NRA website looks pretty stable. Might be a PIA to set up and take down. Portable Shooting Stand

It's a Herters, Buzz. $149 and not quite as sturdy as the one at Jasons.
