So, I needed to test some rifles off the bipod...... and it was raining.

Lowe's has these lifetime warranteed hydraulic barstools for 75 clams.

Oddly enough, that rickety setup drilled holes! I was too lazy to go get cushions for the feet just let 'er fly.

Al, I have two stools that look like that except they're red and came from Sears. The hydraulics on both crapped out and the seat is always extended. I have to do a little jump to get on and force the seat down. And Sears, of course, only warrants for one year. Haven't yet figured out a way to lock the seat down.
 
How loud in there?

How does the rest of the household react when you touch off a few from there, or do you have a dedicated building for shooting? Presumably you don't have cats.
 
;)

dedicated building..... and I don't have enough property for cats.

Well, not true completely, we have sighted Bobcats, Lynx and Cougar in the yard.

I have the same stool from Sears and mine did the same, always extended until you sit on it and force it down. Get off and the seat went to the top.

I took the seat off and found the fat guy that had been sitting on it broke down the padding and the bottom of the seat held the plunger down on the top of the piston.

I fabricated a round plate with a center hole over the top of the piston. It works fine now. I think I used a thick plastic lid that is for a pretzel jug. I don't want to take it apart to verify.

I guess the pretzel jug gave away the fat guy.

if they are made in communist china they WILL break. Kudos on the warranty, keep it handy along with your proof of purchase !! :eek:

Thanks for the tip. I'm also a fat guy, so I'll take a look at what you discovered and see if I can fix mine. Sometimes when I go to get off the stool it's like an ejection seat.
