A solid bench is necessary to get a good zero. More room on top is good if you have equipment such as spotting scopes, lead sled, mechanical shooting vise, or chronograph. Then spare ammo, and maybe multiple guns to test.
If you sink your posts and get them firmly in soil or concrete and then build teh bench level on the posts it can be better.
Making some seat overlays so height can be adjusted for different sized shooter so kids, teens and others can sit comfortably is a good idea.
Nice bench but I have no intent to join “SCRIBD” to get the “free plans”.
You see there is nothing free when you have to “sign up” for anything.

Anyone have any idea how much this thing weighs?
Dave It will depend on the moisture in the 2X6 and 6X6 lumber. Pressure treated lumber can be real “wet”. Some yards sell kiln dried PT at no extra cost and the weight isn’t too bad. It may be hard to find 6X6 “dry” but the 2X6 dry is pretty common. If it is wet the boards will dry out over a few months and the weight will drop considerably. Leave it outside and the weight WILL NEVER DROP and your back will never be the same. If you leave it out be sure to cover with a water resistant… Read more »
The weight of the bench that i built to spec, using all pressure treated below ground grade wood was a total weight of 348 lbs.
Several years ago I built a bench similar to this but I put 2×6 skids on it. I just hook it to the 4wheeler or car and move it to the distance I want to shoot from. Pretty handy!
