leeroy 29 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Idleback chair, has any one got one and are they any good ?. I am going to build a benchrest shooting table and will need a stool along the lines of this one that can be adjusted for hight . Is there anything as good as this that would do the job and is a bit cheaper . Quote Link to post

tegater 789 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 I use one occasionly and they are excellent as a hide stool, minus the support, and they are ok with a spotting scope on them. With a light centre fire they are ok in the back of a pickup for lamping, but with a heavy rifle they haven't quite got the strength to be really stable for the longer shot. This is something that Darren from Idleback is aware of, and the last I heard, he was looking into attaching a sling to the back of the chair and the support. They are a well made bit of kit, and would be excellent from a static point with lots to shoot at, with an air rifle, rimmy or other light rifle. Quote Link to post

activeviii 8 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 I use mine as a hide chair as well as a rifle chair. i have had a new back made so suit how i want it to be and it is spot on. Darren cant do enough to help. is it worth the price tag.... ..... IMHO yes it is, once you end up with a knackered back like mine then a chair like the idleback has kept me shooting.
