Homemade shooting table - solid as a rock!

One thing you might want to add - grab up a bit of 5/8" trim board and run a 1/2" lip proud around the edge on the front and sides. Helps prevent cartridges and cases from rolling off of the edge. Probably less important for you since you're shooting break actions, but if you use it for side port ejecting rifles or pistols in the future, it's pretty handy having a lip to catch things.

Yup, my AR and Charger pistols fling it right off of the edge, but I use a brass net or brass catcher on the rifle for those anyway.
Seal the heck out of those deck boards so you don't get warp over time & weather too.

I would probably mount a small engine under the deck ad wheels and a belt or chain drive system to move it.
I like my bugger bench for its portability and the home built rifle rest for sighting scopes in.
I can move both at the same time, both are easy to load in my truck to take to deer camp and not that up much room either.

I had pallet that was sort of like crossed 4x4s. Top layer sticks out to sides. Gives you a place to lean rifles so they can cool standing up. Wasn't on purpose, but works great. Lots of different things could be done.
I've also got a poratable shooting bench. I like it. But wanted a table for stuff. Also I get nervous with 50lbs corn shooting bags on it, or something big like lead sled.
