BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of weapon sighting devices and more particularly to a weapon benchrest.
2. Description of Related Art
As can be seen by reference to the following U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,937,965; 5,397,147; 5,715,625 and 5,884,966 the prior art is replete with myriad and diverse portable and adjustable shooting benches.
While all of the aforementioned prior art constructions are more than adequate for the basic purpose and function for which they have been specifically designed, they are uniformly deficient with respect to their failure to provide a simple, efficient, and practical weapon benchrest.
As a consequence of the foregoing situation, there has existed a longstanding need for a new and improved weapon benchrest and the provision of such a construction is a stated objective of the present invention.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Briefly stated, the present invention provides a weapon benchrest in combination with a vehicle receiver hitch. The benchrest includes a main support frame with one end received in and supported by the vehicle receiver hitch and the other end supporting a weapon support table. A seat is attached to the main frame intermediate the ends, and a ground engaging stabilizer is attached to the main frame remote from the hitch. The benchrest is fully adjustable in that the seat is horizontally adjustable, the stabilizer is vertically adjustable, and the table is both horizontally and vertically adjustable. The benchrest may use either a bi-level weapon support table with rifle rests, or a flat table for use with an additional rifle bench, vice or rest.
