ABSTRACT:
A shooting rest for a rifle which absorbs the recoil produced when the rifle is fired. The invention includes a rifle mounting structure, a base structure, and a swivel plate. The rifle is secured to the rifle mounting structure which has a mechanism for adjusting the elevation of the rifle barrel resting thereon. The rifle mounting structure is slidably engaged to the base structure so that the rifle mounting structure may slide backwards in response to the recoil from firing the rifle. The recoil energy from the rifle is absorbed by several rubber balls when a first bracket mounted to the rifle mounting structure is forced backwards towards the rubber balls which are held in position by a second bracket mounted to the base structure. The base structure may be mounted on a plate which swivels around a vertical axis to allow the rifle to be aimed in different horizontal directions. The swivel plate can be adjustably secured to the edge of a shooting table so that the shooting rest may be used at any rifle range or on any relatively flat surface without permanently attaching it to the surface.
