  • Patent number: 11953280
    Abstract: The rifle rest is for use with a vertical support post. The rifle rest includes a body including a collar configured to substantially surround the vertical support post, and at least one tightening mechanism coupled to the collar and configured to tighten the collar and position the body at a selected height on the vertical support post. A pivotable arm, defining a rifle rest platform, is pivotally coupled to the body and configured to be pivoted between a stored position adjacent the vertical support post and a deployed position extending away from the vertical support post. The pivotable arm is coupled to the body via a pivotal resistance that keeps the pivotable arm selectively secured in the stored position and the deployed position, respectively, until a user overcomes the pivotable resistance and pivots the pivotable arm to selectively store the pivotable arm and deploy the pivotable arm.
