Don't know how I got it in my head but I thought you were making something portable but solid, not permanent and solid. That should be earthquake proof.

Remember! Blue side up.
I first thought portable, only I do all my target shooting at home in the back yard so permanent it is.
For every mile of road, there's two miles of ditch
Here's one I built a few weeks back. You can make 2 of these from one 8' x 4' sheet of 5/8" ply. The front legs are from Home Hardware at $25 for 2. The rollers came from Busy Bee at $15 for 5.
Rest of the hardware came from Home Depot.

If you don't live on the edge, you're taking up too much room.
Blade57, just so I "get it"- the rollers are there to allow for table adjustment, or for some movement to assist with recoil absorption? Then it almost looks like the sandbag platform is being held through both top layers by the bolt?
I'd say I care- but I'd probably be lying...
Swings or pivots in an arc based on the bolt at the rear....for "windage".
"T" nuts fit into the "backside" of a bored hole....that way they don't pull through.

I put 3 countersinks in the top of the rest that the Granite Rest's feet sit into. I also put a third Roller under the rifle rest board, just behind and below the back foot of my rest. The rest is cast and is pretty weighty so a little extra support does no harm and makes sure that the top board has no chance of dipping in the middle under the weight.
Cheers
