Would this one be to high to fire from bench rest? I want it for deer hunting but would be nice if I could use it at the range as well.

I believe this bipod would be too tall to use on a bench. I use mine from a seated position while varmit hunting where shooting prone is not an option.

Probably too high. I reckon the 9-13 would be better for the bench but the 25 is great for sitting shots. I do use my 25 from the bench and it gives an accurate group that is of hunting standard. Don't expect the tight groups with this.

Depending on where your shooting (covered outdoor range vs uncle bills land) you may find it is too tall or at the least awkward to find a good position. It's great for hunting or just pulling over the 4x4 and busting something.

Yes, too high for bench shooting. You want to bench shoot get one that is 6" to 9" variable. I have both sizes and it is easy to switch as needed. My shorter one is a different brand but the Harris is quality.

I returned the scope. It was a well built Really nice scope but I put it on a barnett rc 150 and it WOULD NOT zero on my bow. My bow it hitting close to 300 fps and this scope should have worked I wish it would have because I really liked it. Maybe I just got a defective one.it was too close to deer season for me to keep messing with it so I just put my old scope back on and re zeroed it.

It would depend on the caliber you are shooting. I personally would not shoot my high power rifles at this target from close range. If you are going to use a .22 for plinking I would shoot it at 49-50 yards. Also bullet type, if you are using a cast lead bullet you can set the target closer. Also not target placement, I use their hangers, it puts the target (dinger) at a angle so most if not all fragments are forced downward and not upwards.

I think I know what your talking about but you should of just returned it!..the one I have was already assembled.I was going to buy a Barnett vengeance or something cool like that but it would be a waste to me because this one does the job! I soley use it for hunting and nail a deer every time with it! So far I got 6 deer with it..4 last year and 2 this year so far!

ours is mounted with high rings on a 308 precision rifle...so far after several hundred rounds we have had zero problems. it is made for big heavy recoil rifles... seems to be holding ok. 3/4 inch per click at 300 yds...have not shot it at longer range...hope this helps

I guess it depends on what kind of shooting you want to do. Some of the self defense guys around here are shooting at 7 yards, and that would be fine if your loads aren't too hot. I'm used to IHMSA and more powerful loads, and use this target at mostly at 50 yards for them and it dimples, but it can handle a .45 up pretty close I think.

5 to 10 round magazine yes, depending on the elevation that you are shooting at. 30 round mags, no, tried this last weekend and since I only own 30 rounders I was forced to hand load each round. Granted this type of bench rest is designed primarily for bolt action style hunting rifles, and in that respect it has performed flawlessly with my Remington 700 .308, sighted it in with 3 shots. If you are planning on using this with anything that uses detachable box mags, the fit will be hit or miss depending on mag capacity and firearm design, but if that is your primary weapon, I would advise finding a sled that is specifically designed for that type of weapon. 5 to 10 round magazine yes, depending on the elevation that you are shooting at. 30 round mags, no, tried this last weekend and since I only own 30 rounders I was forced to hand load each round.

If the leg elevation locks won't tighten, that is a product defect. If the rifle rest platform on top moves some, I think that is part of the design, so you can move the aim point around without fiddling with screws and locking hardware. It is not supposed to be a bench rest - including bench and sandbags those must weigh more than 100 pounds.

Haven't really searched for the info you want, but all I can say is that my SLS Crossbow was definitely not 630.00 and it is the one that shoots 366 feet per second. I couldn't be more pleased with the one I have. It is a killing machine out to the maximum distance I want to shoot, which is 50 yards. I only hunt White Tail Deer with it on a lease in Kentucky. The only thing that could be improved on it would be less weight in the future models, since it is a heavy bow to carry around, but I also think that the heaver the bow, probably like a well built heavy rifle, makes it more accurate. This bow will do the job for you and put the meat on the table and the heads on the wall, if you so desire. I would recommend it to anyone who is wanting to purchase a decent priced, quality built bow. Killer Cotton

Hi The weather got too cold for us to try it out. I think the distance would pertain to your shooting abilities. We will not have it any closer than 25 yards. I hope this helps you. Have a nice day.

It will probably be too tall. I love the riser though. I needed to get my scope off the upper rail just high enough to be able to put the scope protective caps on. Works like a champ and brings it up to eye level for me. Maybe consider ditching the iron sights you have now and switch to magpuls offset sights. Little pricy but that's what I did. Hope this helps good luck.

that wont work with this. I have no idea about the range, but the black battery box that hangs off to the side has a cable attached to the part that inserts into the chamber. you push it in with you finger while the rifle is held in position on a bench. if you try and hold it free hand, the cable is going to wobble, and the will make the laser wobble, and...well I think you see where I'm going. I guess you could try and rig something up, but I don't think there would be any consistent accuracy. this is a laser boresighter, for setting up a scope. it is not trigger activated. think of using a sword in an archery contest. that wont work with this.

I used it on a 20g slug gun and a .243 to scope in. I wanted it for the convenience as an easy bench rest with adjustments. It is perfect for that. I would imagine it would be ok for what you are needing.

I think it would be ok for a while for some back yard target practice. It a decent bow and can be adjusted up in poundage. My 10 year old handles it well. I guess it mostly depends on what u plan to do with it. If it's hunting is say no.

There is alot of adjustment room,, I have it mounted on my .308 & have made adjustment to shoot 800yards out, (just playing around).. When I shoot it at 100 yards it was at the bottom of target,, seems to have alot of play... I hit the 800 yard target..

A friend of mine shoots at around 52# and the sight works well for him. It has a pretty wide range of motion. I use a fixed position for 27 yards and compensate by aiming higher or lower (even though it's easy to move, I don't want to mess with the pin during a hunting situation). I'm shooting a fast bow but even so, I'm not even close to either end when I move the sight pin up and down for longer or shorter distances. I think you'll be fine, but it's easy enough to return if you're not satisfied.

I got my boyfriend one for Christmas and he loves his a lot says it aims nice and shots right where u want it. He is a big hunter and owns a lot of guns but he likes this on a lot. Hope that helps! One tip buy a new one not used.
