Abstract
An elevation adjuster for a gun support includes a support mount for detachably mounting the elevation adjuster to a gun support, a base portion connected to the support mount, and a pinion rotatably connected to the base portion. The elevation adjuster further includes an extendible member slidably engaged with the base portion. The extendible member comprises a rack portion which is engaged with the pinion, such that rotation of the pinion causes the extendible member to move relative to the base portion. The pinion is connected to a handle for manipulation by a user of a gun which is connected, in use, to the elevation adjuster. The extendible member comprises a gun mount for detachably connecting the elevation adjuster to a gun.
