Abstract
A weapon sighting assembly including a longitudinally extending frame which is rotatively secured under tension about a shock plate means which couples the assembly to a grounded support. A resiliently supported barrel rest is adjustably mounted along the longitudinal frame. A weapon receiving cradle includes a compressive, elastomeric pad and surfaces conforming to the aft end of the weapon and the marksperson's hand and/or shoulder. Cant adjustment means are provided at the shock plate, windage adjustment means couple to the longitudinal frame and a resilient strap can be used to further couple a weapon to the assembly.
Claims20
Apparatus for adjusting the sights of a weapon having a barrel and a stock comprising:
- (a) a base;
- (b) means mounted to the base for resiliently supporting the barrel;
- (c) stock receiving means including an end wall having a curved interior surface conforming to an aft end shape of the stock and a curved outer surface shape conforming to a region of normal physical support of the stock by a marksperson;
- and
- (d) recoil transfer means for absorbing and transferring to a grounded support recoil shock forces acting on the base upon discharge of the weapon, whereby the weapon remains substantially stationary with each weapon discharge.
Apparatus for adjusting the sights of a weapon having a barrel and a stock comprising:
- (a) a base;
- (b) barrel support means including means for height adjustably coupling said barrel support means to the base and means for slidably coupling said barrel support means relative to said base;
- (c) means for engaging an edge surface of a grounded support and including a vertical axle about which said base is rotationally coupled;
- and
- (d) stock receiving means including a curved interior surface conforming to an aft end shape of the stock and a curved outer surface shape conforming to a region or normal physical support by a marksperson.
Apparatus for adjusting the sights of a weapon having a barrel and a stock comprising:
- (a) a base;
- (b) barrel support means including means for height adjustably and resiliently coupling said barrel support means to the base and means for slidably coupling said barrel support means relative to said base;
- (c) a frame member shaped to engage an edge surface of a grounded support and including a vertical axle about which said base is rotationally coupled and means for fixing a determined rotation;
- (d) means coupled to the base for rotating and leveling the weapon about the longitudinal axis of the barrel;
- (e) resilient strap means wrapped about the weapon and base for securely holding the weapon to the base;
- and
- (f) means connected to the base and resting on the grounded support for rotating the weapon about the vertical axle in a plane substantially parallel with the grounded support.
Apparatus for adjusting the sights of a weapon having a barrel and a stock comprising:
- (a) a base;
- (b) means mounted to the base for resiliently supporting the barrel;
- (c) stock receiving means mounted to the base and including a housing having bottom, side and end walls and wherein ones of the interior surfaces of the walls are lined with an elastomer, such that upon insertion of a weapon the elastomer compresses to retain the weapon thereto;
- (d) resilient strap means wrapped about the weapon and base for securely holding the weapon to the base;
- and
- (e) recoil transfer means for absorbing and transferring to a grounded support recoil shock forces acting on the base upon discharge of the weapon, and whereby the weapon remains substantially stationary with each discharge of the weapon.
