The standard height, defined by Colonel Townsend Whelen in a couple of the books he wrote back on the early 1950s suggested a 32" to 34" height.
There was a drawing of the bench, and it is the "T" design: In his book "Why Not Load Your Own".
I have a lot of respect for the contributions of Colonel Whelen. Seriously, there have been more people involved in benchrest shooting as a sport in it's own right after the early fifties than before. I prefer 34" to 36". I have an adjustable stool and I am fairly short so I can shoot at 32" but, like I said, I prefer 36".
