ABSTRACT:
The portable firearm rest of the invention comprises a T shaped base, adjustable height support posts for elevation control, are positioned at the points of the T. The fore rest is a resilient pad supported on adjustable posts above the cross of the T, to receive the firearm barrel. A recoil slide with adjustable recoil spring is slidably mounted within the upright of the T, and mounts the aft rest in one embodiment comprising a vertical plate with opposed resilient bumpers to receive the firearm butt, in an alternative embodiment for heavier weapons comprising a U shaped plate with a cross bolt bearing internal opposed resilient bumpers to receive the firearm butt. Friction control is provided by a set screw engaging the recoil slide. The rest can be used for zeroing or sighting firearms, and as a shooting rest. Not only is recoil significantly reduced, but the sighting procedure is made much more convenient. The rest can be used for hand guns. An accessory is provided for use with hand guns, which has a butt rest, adjustable support and a clamp to fit the upright of the T. The elevation support posts are preferably rubber tipped.
