Q:

homemade gun vise for testing

First things first, THANK YOU Tony. The parts look great and are performing great.

I recently had Tony at Talon Tunes prep a .22 barrel and prep a standard flow tank to use in my AAA for more economical paper punching. I bought a variety of ammo at the CT airgun show a couple weeks ago to find the best pellets for accuracy. Last night I put the kids to bed and went to my garage to build a gun vise to eliminate human error for my testing. When I came back in at 1:30 a.m. this is what I put together.

It works very well. The only thing I’m going to add is a screw type adjustment for elevation. The pivot point is fairly tight to prevent unwanted movement which makes it difficult to adjust to the next target efficiently.

It’s been raining here for days and I don’t have chrony #’s yet, hopefully sunday it will be nice enough to make that happen. Any way here is my first set of groups. JSB jumbo exact, 15.7 gr. 48 yards dead calm, 10 shot groups.

Haha f’n sweet!!!

elevation adjuster is complete. Now to build a solid shooting bench.

I’m modifying it already. I’m putting a crank elevation adjuster on it for smoother and more precise adjusting.

I find it just as enjoyable creating things for my hobbies as doing them. 🙂

Nice vise!!!!

When I shoot I clamp the vise to my shooting table and bungie across the receiver lightly where it rests. It sure beats the heck out of my shooting for real precise groups and I shot competitive BR back in the late 80s and 90s. It makes up for lightening the trigger considerably.

It cost me a few dollars for hardware and the ss tubing was cut off pieces from a snow retention job I did.

Looks like it works as well as the $130 CTK I bought.

Well there is no patent on it and even if there was, you can copy any patent for personal use, you just can’t profit from it. I built this to test my condors accuracy with pellet and speed combinations.

I like it too. Mind if I use your design for personal use only?

i like it! nice job ❗
