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

Works very well for the price I paid. I just needed a small vice(not really a vice) to hold my gun while working on it. It seems sturdy enough and is very portable as it folds up and stows easily.

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!

Simple and effective stand to hold up rifle for attaching/removing attachments. If I could I’d removed 1/2 a star because I had the impression that it could lock into place at different lengths. Instead it just slides long to short.We’ll see how long it lasts but for the price and the thickness of the plastic I think it’s a good purchase. Haven’t tested it on heavier rifles just yet but I’ll swing back around on this review when I do.

The product is great for some work but not mounting a scope. The is some wobble when fully extended and it not quite level. I thought I could use this as a platform for mounting scopes but not the case. Not going to send it back because I will still use it for other things. I do like that this is a small footprint for storage when not using it.

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.

This little gadget holds your gun in place pretty securely without clamping it down. Good for most small gun smithing work. If you're doing a lot of heavy work get a real gun bench. I was able to drill & tap a sling ring, stain & paint my stock & clean my long guns using this as an extra hand. Seems to work OK. Me likey.

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.

Very well built and easy to use. Great option for a portable range vise for the price. Folds flay and locks both open and closed.
