By Mary & Dr. Jim Clary. Virtually every shooter has had the occasion to run a few cleaning patches through their gun or make some minor adjustments while at the shooting range. And, most of us had to figure out how to hold the gun or prop it up to get the job done. That is no longer a problem with the Tipton Range Vise.

MSRP of this little gem is $27.99, a price that everyone can afford. Out of the box it is folded up for storage, measuring a mere 11 ¼” in length.

However, when you need it, simply open up the supports and the Vise expands to almost 18”, more than adequate to support most sporting arms for a minor cleaning or slight adjustment.

We found it ideal for placing our firearms on when they are not being used, rather than laying them down on the table. And, when the range is cold, the vise is ideal.

As with all of the Tipton vises, this one is constructed from a solvent-resistant nylon which will last a very long time. The two forks are equipped with non-marring pads to protect your guns’ finish while holding them securely in place for cleaning, light maintenance or as an extra set of hands. And, there are six rubber feet on the base of the vise to ensure that it does not slip.

This vise is well designed, very functional and totally practical. We definitely recommend it.
