ABSTRACT:
A cradle-like gun cradle for firearms frictionally, firmly receives long guns such as rifles or shotguns, which are press fitted into opposed grooves against compression and friction forces from one or more leather straps. In the best mode a rigid, generally planar base supported by a pair of spaced apart, adjustable lower stabilizers comprises a pair of spaced-apart, rigid sides extending vertically upwardly from the planar base. The stabilizers can be adjusted to accommodate for an irregular work surface, and the length of the stabilizers is greater than the width of the planar base. The sides are disposed oppositely from one another in substantially axial alignment. Each side comprises a top provided with at least one groove into which at least a portion of a firearm may be fitted. A leather strip overlies the top of each side, extending between and secured within suitable channels adjacent each groove. These strips permanently occupy the top surface of the groove. Additionally a reservoir of leather straps is formed upon the sides adjacent the grooves so that one or more leather straps may be user selected to surround the firearm to provide a "snap-fit" phenomena as the firearm is compressively fitted into the grooves. Thus a firearm may be nondestructively and snugly snap fitted into temporary retention within the grooves by the combined compression and frictional effects of the one or more leather straps which in effect shim the firearm. Preferably the base includes a part-receptive recess for temporarily storing miscellaneous items.
