Abstract: An improved portable gun rest characterized by a mounting harness of a two strap configuration that holds the buttstock in a controlled and maneuverable position within an inverter U-shaped bracket that is rigidly fixed to a vertical slide which can raise and lower in elevation along the length of a vertical support shaft that terminates in a base member on its lowermost end. A recoil dampening pad attached to the rear of the gun rest provides protection from the recoil of the firearm.

Abstract: An improved gun rest characterized by an attaching bracket effectively shaped and dimensioned to secure and support the buttstock of a firearm, and removably mounted thereon. The attaching bracket is pivotally connected to a vertical slide, which can raise or lower in elevation along the length of a vertical support shaft that terminates in a base member on its lowermost end. A recoil dampening pad removably attached to the rear of the gun rest provides protection from the recoil of the most powerful firearm.The pivotal feature of the attaching bracket can be releasably secured to position the firearm sights perfectly vertical, be they open or telescopic. The vertical slide adjusts for elevation and can also be releasably securted to provide a secure, steady and rigid rear rest for aiming and shooting a firearm, when used in conjuction with the shooters normal front resting procedure.
