Abstract
The present invention involves a rifle rest which is particularly suited for competitive long distance range shooting. The rifle rest has a rifle vise mounted on a vise support resting upon a base which has adjustable legs. In a preferred embodiment, the rifle vise is mounted on a vise support which is a sphere or partial sphere. The convex curvature of the sphere is slidably received by an aperture in a planar base allowing for the movement and rotation of a rifle secured in the vise about a variety of axes.
