Tipton Compact Range Vise with Folding Forks and Non-Marring Cradle for Easy Transport, Firearm Cleaning and Maintenance, 11-1/4 - 17-3/4"

Exactly as described. It's compact and folds to transport in your shooting bag etc. Great for using on the bench at the range without taking up a lot of room like a full sized vise would. Slides apart to unfold, and the uprights lock into a recess so they aren't going to collapse on you while using it.Look at it before you try ripping it apart like Magilla-Gorilla. There's little slots and tabs on each upright that lock/slide together for storage so the uprights aren't flopping around in the way. Not easy at first to pull apart, but use your head and be patient. It works! You just have to be smarter than Magilla-Gorilla.Rubber coated uprights won't scratch your firearm or allow it to move. It's small comparatively, but does the job of holding your firearm while you do little things, swab out the barrel on the bench, or just need a safe place to rest your firearm while milling around the bench etc.If you ARE swabbing the barrel, ...be sure you have a good grip on everything because this is lite weight and even with your firearm resting on it, it won't prevent it from sliding or being knocked over. Use logic and a little common sense and this will perform exactly as described. A good deal for what it is!

This works quite well for exactly what it was designed for - a compact stand for cleaning rifles. It is not perfect & is small in relation to the overall gun lengths, but it works great! Folds easily & stores away so nicely. That's why I bought it, so I don't have to leave a larger, true vise on my counter constantly.Stability wise it is fine - no issues there. I have used it to clean a few different models of bolt rifles - all fine - and some AR uppers - again no issues. You could possibly put a whole AR in it, but unless you are simply wiping down the exterior, I am don't know why you want to it. It's not a gunsmithing vise, so if that is your need, go buy one of those. This is great for cleaning & being stowed out of the way.

was looking for something to take to the range that was portable and reasonably compact.this item fits all my requirements.it is reasonable well made but you need to be conscious that it is made out of plastic when you open and close it - don't try to force it and all should be well.a nice item that i would recommend, but a bit overpriced for what it is.

This foldable, compact vise is excellent for the price, it sits stable and solid enough for its size to get the job done.!

Bottom-line is that the "Gun Butler" is a super useful tool/product. It is made of very solid, sturdy plastic--not at all flimsy. I hate plastic, but this product is super solid. The rubbery inserts in the V-holders provide some nice friction to hold your gun in place. The size is perfect. Small enough to be convenient, big enough to do the job. It makes for a great platform to clean or do a little work on your rifle or simply to hold a second weapon safely and securely in place while at the range sighting in another gun. Nice to not just lay the gun you're not using on the counter-top, but to give it a little more TLC. For the price, it is A-1--and because the price/quality ratio is so positive, it encourages me to take a look at other more sophisticated Tipton products. Don't hesitate to purchase this if you have a need for something like it--it's a winner.

I really needed this for rifle dissasembly and cleaning .Works great on my portable bench. Has six pads on the base to keep it stable and holds most of my rifles level. It is much better than laying it on a gun mat or towel to work on.No risk of scratching my vintage rifles.Using this easily makes it pays for itself.

For cleaning, this is all I need. It is sturdy enough and big enough, in fact, any bigger and it would be in the way. I looked around, this was the least expensive cleaning vice I could find although it was listed elsewhere for about 2X this price. When you set it up correctly it is very stable for cleaning (it is not a shooting vice).

A bit flimsy, but for the price it works well for a pellet gun
