Abstract

A tactical support device comprising a universal butt stock clip and plate member is provided for securing and maneuvering a rifle or long gun. The clip member is attached along the rear portion of a long gun and includes an elongated rod having a rounded end termination. The rounded end is dimensioned to fit within a corresponding slot along the plate member, which is attached to the desired stowage area on the operator. The elongated rod provides an offset between the weapon and user such that there is room enough to support the weapon and perform desired activities while operating in a tactical environment. The elongated rod is supported from different clip embodiments, and alternatively is hingedly attached thereto or attached directly to the butt stock of a long rifle for use with the plate member disposed on the operator's person.
