ABSTRACT:
A device for supporting a hunting rifle, pistol or other firearm that permits the rifle to rotate to allow a full range of targeting while providing stable support in a confined area. The supporting device includes a base to support the device on a surface, a vertical supporting leg and a rest to support a rifle. One end of the supporting device is secured to the base via a swivel and the other end of the supporting device is secured to the rest via a swivel. The swivels provide rotational movement of the supporting leg relative to the base, and rotational movement of the rest, and consequently of the rifle, relative to the supporting leg. The swivels can be set at varying tensions or stiffness. The rifle can be attached to the rest. To aid in the transportation of the rifle and support device, the supporting leg can be folded and clamped onto a clamp of the rest, so that the supporting leg and base are parallel to the rifle.
