Rifle benchrest!

It's midnight and I just finished the rifle benchrest I've wanted to build for a long time now, and it's a doozy- I hope?!
Bought a 10 foot peice of 1x4 popular wood at $9.49 and misc. stuff for $3.00. Measured all the rifles and ended up with the ideal size to fit all. I do a lot of woodworking so I had the tools and some skill as I do make furniture as a hobby.
The only complication I have is how to rubberize the 3/8" carriage bolts that rest on the surface of the concrete bench at the range to help prevent it from sliding. Got any ideas????
I have to admit- I made this for the new 22-250 I will need to sight in once it comes home to papa! Thanks for any ideas!
I added a little color by adding a NRA sticker on the side.
I just couldn't see paying $50.00- $90.00 for a rest, if I could make one for about $15.00 and have fun doing it.
Once I sight a rifle in, I shoot it with the pods on the bench and then practice free hand standing up as there aren't any benches in the woods!
