An assembly for mounting a tripod to a rifle, wherein the tripod comprises a clamp, wherein the clamp comprises left and right “V” shaped valleys, wherein the rifle comprises a muzzle, a breech, and a cartridge magazine, and wherein the cartridge magazine has breechward and muzzleward ends and has a lower end bounded and defined by left and right walls, said assembly comprising:
- a. a first “V” shaped tail fitted for receipt within the clamp's left “V” shaped valley, wherein the first “V” shaped tail is fixedly attached to and extends leftwardly from the cartridge magazine's left wall;
- b. a second “V” shaped tail fitted for receipt within the clamp's right “V” shaped valley, wherein the second “V” shaped tail is fixedly attached to and extends rightwardly from the cartridge magazine's right wall;
- c. a screw eye positioned muzzlewardly from the muzzleward end of the cartridge magazine, wherein muzzleward ends of the first and second “V” shaped tails are positioned breechwardly from the screw eye.

- a. a cartridge magazine having a left side, a right side, a breechward end, and a muzzleward end;
- b. a first dove tail having a breechward end and a muzzleward end, said first dove tail being fixedly attached to and extending leftwardly from the left side of the cartridge magazine;
- c. a second dove tail having a breechward end and a muzzleward end, said second dove tail being fixedly attached to and extending rightwardly from the right side of the cartridge magazine;
- d. a screw eye positioned muzzlewardly from the muzzleward end of the cartridge magazine, the muzzleward ends of the first and second dove tails being positioned breechwardly from the screw eye;
- and
- e. a trigger guard loop transition positioned at breechward ends of the first and second dove tails, the breechward ends of the first and second dove tails being positioned muzzlewardly from the trigger guard loop transition;
- wherein each dove tail comprises a lower surface and an upper surface, wherein said lower surfaces extend substantially horizontally, and wherein said upper surfaces extend upwardly at approximately 45° angles from horizontal;
- wherein the dove tails' upper and lower surfaces form left and right vertices comprising curved transitions, the left vertex being positioned approximately 1½ inch leftwardly from the right vertex.
