201 words
A portable device for permitting the resting of a rifle or other firearm at any position including prone, kneeling, sitting and standing, comprising: inner and outer hollow cylindrical rigid tube members, each said tube member having a proximal end and a distal end, said inner tube member being telescopically received through the proximal end of said outer tube member, said tube members thereby providing support for a rifle or other firearm in a stable, balanced attitude; an upper firearm supporting yoke provided at the proximal end of the inner tube member; a lower firearm support coupled to the outer tube member: means for mounting a ground spike for insertion into the ground to the distal end of said outer tube member; and means for adjusting a length of the inner tube member extending proximally from the outer tube member and for locking said inner tube member relative to said outer tube member so that the upper firearm support means can be continuously adjusted in height and locked into place, wherein said outer tube member further includes means for continuously adjusting the position of the lower firearm support along the outer tube member and for locking the lower firearm support in place.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
201 words
A portable device for permitting the resting of a rifle or other firearm at any position including prone, kneeling, sitting and standing, comprising: inner and outer hollow cylindrical rigid tube members, each said tube member having a proximal end and a distal end, said inner tube member being telescopically received through the proximal end of said outer tube member, said tube members thereby providing support for a rifle or other firearm in a stable, balanced attitude; an upper firearm supporting yoke provided at the proximal end of the inner tube member; a lower firearm support coupled to the outer tube member: means for mounting a ground spike for insertion into the ground to the distal end of said outer tube member; and means for adjusting a length of the inner tube member extending proximally from the outer tube member and for locking said inner tube member relative to said outer tube member so that the upper firearm support means can be continuously adjusted in height and locked into place, wherein said outer tube member further includes means for continuously adjusting the position of the lower firearm support along the outer tube member and for locking the lower firearm support in place.
