ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is set forth comprising a first base member spaced from a second base member, wherein the first base member includes plural pairs of foot members including elastomeric surfaces to support the first base member, wherein the first base member includes a forwardly positioned hinge housing to hingedly receive a pivot platform thereon adjacent a forward edge of the pivot platform. The pivot platform includes a rear edge with a second hinge housing coextensive with the rear edge of the pivot platform. A "V" shaped support is pivotally mounted to the second hinge housing with an upper hook mounted to the "V" shaped support, and a lower hook supported adjacent a rear edge of the first platform, with a turnbuckle threadedly receiving threaded ends of the upper and lower hooks to vertically reposition the "V" shaped support. The rear support includes a "U" shaped mount including a resilient cushion laminated therewithin to receive a butt stock portion of an associated rifle. A modification of the instant invention includes the rear platform defined by a planar support enclosed about three sides thereof to receive a "T" shaped elastomeric insert with a preconfigured ellipsoidal cavity therewithin to enable interchanging of the "T" shaped inserts dependent upon gun stock configurations. The modification includes the rear platform and forward platform secured together by spaced parallel rails to enable spatial adjustment of the forward platform relative to the rear platform.
