ABSTRACT:
A gun rest for firearms which is characterized by a monopod having a base cylinder and a plurality of nesting, tapered interior tubes or cylinders, each having a successively smaller diameter and arranged in concentric, normally retracted, telescoping configuration inside the base cylinder. A mount plate is provided with a pivot clamp at one end for pivotal cooperation with the base cylinder, and a monopod clamp at the opposite end for removably securing the opposite end of the base cylinder to the plate. The mount plate is further provided with a pair of upwardly extending barrel clamps mounted in spaced relationship on opposite sides of the plate from the pivot clamp and the monopod clamp, respectively, for removable attachment of the monopod and mount plate to the barrel of a gun or rifle. When not in use the monopod is positioned in essentially parallel, retracted relationship to and beneath the mount plate and the barrel of the firearm. In functional position the monopod is removed from the monopod clamp and pivoted on the pivot clamp to a position essentially perpendicular to the mount plate and gun barrel, with the interior cylinders selectively and telescopically extended from the base cylinder and temporarily locked to provide a secure rest for the firearm.
