Abstract

Abstract The invention is shown as a rifle and weapon rest for supporting the weapon during aiming and firing. There is an upper, partially limited, radially movable rifle holder having a fixed or an adjustable weapon holding strap and a pressure rod spring-supported vertically and axially, which is received displaceably in a guide tube. The guide tube is supported from a holding body by an adjustable rack-and-pinion mechanism. The holding body is supported from the ground by two collapsible strut members. Several modifications of means for detachably and pivotally connecting the rifle stock to the rifle holder are included.
