Thread: Redneck Gun Vise

Wife said NO YOU DON'T NEED IT! after you just got a new rifle, So today i came up with this, Then she says OH i thought you would just buy one, I can't win.

Get her to hold your rifle a couple of times while you clean it. Then, when she starts bitching, tell her you won't need her help if she goes halvies with you in Tipton's Best.

What does the vice do that a bipod cant? Serious question

Take up way more room

In the vice the barrel is pointing down so when you have solvent etc it doesn't run into the action and mag well, and I don't have a bipod

What colour paint Gibo do you find does the best job?

Grey primer with a matt black pearl

I have owned, used, and worked on all types of firearms for the last 60 years and never needed a gun vise. I make padded jaws for my regular bench vise and have an adjustable tubular support that goes in a hole in the bench. That works perfectly for everything including checkering. For bore sighting I use a box with a padded vee cut in each end.

i will sell my tipton for $70 for anyone who wants it to pick up in christchurch.
mint condition.
pm if interested

True! I could do with some more like that now.
