my recommendation would be the caldwell table. its bulky but very sturdy.

its very sturdy. i've looked at a few others and the typical tube and wire ones were just not good enough.

I've used a Timber Ridge from Cabela's for three or four years now. It folds flat for storage, is light weight and has proven to be pretty sturdy. I think it was around $80 or $90.

I just looked at the Cabela's site and the have one of the Shooting Tables in the Bargin Cave for $179. If I was in the market for one I would probably give that a try. Being able to swivel the seat seperately from the table is a big plus. Having three points of contact is more stable than having four and trying to compensate for the rocking motion.

I made my shooting bench and have been very pleased with it. I got the plans from this youtube video and since my son and I are both south paws, it was easier to build one to fit our needs. We used the cheaper set of legs in this video and it works fine. I think after building it and putting a couple of coats of stain on it I ended up having about $80 in it.
