Abstract: A firearm rest having a platform with mounting blocks at opposite ends and a shaft journaled in the mounting blocks and turned with an operator. A pair of links are hinged together in the middle forming a bed for resting the forward end of a gun stock. One of the ends of the joined links is hinged to one of the mounting blocks while the other end is hinged to a traveling nut that is threaded on the shaft and quickly disengagable therefrom. The height of the bed can be quickly raised or lowered by disengaging the nut from the shaft, manually moving the nut along the shaft thereby decreasing or increasing the distance between the ends of the joined links and changing the elevation of the bed. Fine adjustments can be made by rotating the operator when the nut is engaged with the shaft.
