Mine has a horizontal bar welded to the base to give left/right stability and at each end,a large nut welded to the top with a bolt that goes right through from the bottom to make adjustable feet. It also has a sliding extension bar that goes to the rear to hold the butt stock which also has a bolt foot adjuster.... I will try add a photo tomorrow .

@ThreeO'Three try this.

The square hole you see in the centre of the bottm rail is where the "leg" goes through for the stock rest. The washer on the threaded rod on the right side of the bottom plate is clamp to lock the stock support in place.

I made it so you can use either hand to adjust the height.

It has a screw on pad for the forestock to rest on and a foam cover and recoil strap for the butt stock so that the metal does not contact or damage the stock.

The three points of contact (feet) are all threaded so they can be adjusted if on a less than flat surface.
