Caldwell 252-552 Stable Table Shooting Bench

Solid portable table!!! The product name says it all. Easy assembly and set up in the field. Really stable and the tabletop is the perfect blend of texture / grip and easy cleaning. I happened to have a duffel bag that the legs, vertical support, and seat fit in so it's easy to pack up and carry. Not exactly light but the assembled weight is a very good thing. So happy with this purchase.

Can't say enough good about it--if you are looking at this table--GET IT! Easy to assemble. Quick tip--use colored Sharpies to color code the legs to make assembly easier.

It's built as tough as the pedestal machine gun mounts I used to use in the Army. I was really impressed when I got it. Assembles quickly, great range of adjustments, sturdy and stable once it's all tightened down. It's heavy, but it needs to be to work the way it does. Seems modular, that Caldwell can come out with alternative table tops and seat options later on. I would purchase items like that to enhance my Stable Table for different roles.

The stable table is a sturdy table. It can moved easily and is set up quickly. Fits my needs for a table that can be moved to shoot from different distances.

I got 2 of these for using for our 4H shooting sports, and youth group. I can now adjust the seating height for the kids and lock them in. I was building benches before, and these are way better. Used them for the first time at a long range rimfire shoot. Quick set up, and work great for our older shooters too.

Great option for bench shooting! For reference, I grew up sighting in rifles shooting either prone supported, or even seated (not a great option). For the past 15 years or so, I used my Dad's "Buck Bench", which is foldable but really is hard to stabilize unless it was placed on very flat ground. The thing I like best about the Stable Table is the adjustable position and height of the seat, which really makes this great for stable shooting. The lip on the edge of the table surface keeps ammo and expended brass from rolling off. This thing is really heavy, which obviously makes it very stable, but don't plan on carrying this table too far, even with the Caldwell bag. If I had one very minor complaint, it would be the size of the table is just a bit small. The table surface is big enough but a little extra real estate would be great, maybe just two inches wider and longer. Two more suggestions for improvement: 1) Add threaded feet on the end of the three legs so you could level this out on uneven ground. The locking bolt for one of the legs does allow some amount of leveling, but wasn't enough for the slope at of the places I like to go shooting. I bring different sizes of wooden blocks ranging from 3/4 inches to a 4x so I can level out, and am also throwing a magnetic torpedo level into my range box to ensure the table surface is as level as possible. 2) Change the surface material of the table. It is a little slippery, so perhaps a spongy surface that would lock in sleds, bench bags, etc. Still, even with these suggestions, I am totally happy with the Stable Table and would highly recommend it!

Great Product, this table was well thought on when it was designed. First, the table is SOLID! Our first use was at about 12,000 feet in the High Country of Colorado. We set up to take uphill shots in rugged terrain. The table set up quick and easily, we were able to level the table using the adjustable leg on the tripod stand. Even on rough and uneven ground, the table leveled with ease creating a firm and stable shooting platform. The table can be set up in a number of configurations, providing a firm and comfortable shooting platform for anyone. Adjustments are a breeze with the pin positioning. Weighing in at 60 pounds, the table is heavy.... with that said, it is exactly what makes it stand head and shoulder above the competition. The weight of the table plays a major role in the stability of the table. Again, the stability and solid construction is far better than any other shooting platform I have used in the past. There are no cheap flimsy parts on this table, and I expect that this table will last a lifetime. If you are in the market for a shooting table, I highly recommend The Stable Table.

It is a Very sturdy table. It worked as it should, The detent ball come out of one of the pins that holds the legs on was the only problem I had.

Myself and 3 of my buddies purchased 4 of these tables for prairie dog hunting in Colorado in 2019. They worked out goodfor the hunt. These tables are heavy so if you have carry them in field very far its a task. I wish they were little lighter in weight. We had good shoot.

Caldwell named this bench right. It is a stable bench rest. Adjustable for any shooter. It is not all that portable friendly. Got to break it down if you move it from place to place, but if it was any lighter it would not be as stable a bench.
