This gun vise has an overall good design. It has lots of adjustment for various gun shapes, large knobs, pockets for tools, bottles and parts, etc. It's great for cleaning your gun or perhaps mounting a scope if your're careful, and I don't know how I managed without one before. That being said I have to say I think it's not nearly good enough for anything heavier. It flexes continually apart at the clamp area with very little resistance before gaining more than a rather light hold on the buttstock. Although the pads are very nice and grip well, it's otherwise made of toy like plastic pieces. Tightening it up firmly I think would break it.

My brother has the older version of this vise and while this one is very usable it doesn't have the rigidity of his and the buttstock clamp on his is more substantial than this one (this one flexes a bit too much for my liking). I realize that in order to remain competitively priced that manufacturers have to find corners to cut but in this case the clamp area should have been constructed with more rigidity and the base shouldn't show warp areas from the mold due to reduction of mass. I also suggest lengthening at least one adjustment bolt for the center support as you need to hold the supplied bolt in place so you can start the threads on the tightening nut. All said, I've used it for cleaning my AR, my bolt-action hunting rifle, an auto-loader shotgun and a couple pistols. With the exception of the short bolt for the center support, it is easy to set up and adjust. I recommend it as a reasonably-priced option for the hobby shooter. Read full review

If the you get what you pay for well this one may be a you get a bit more than you paid for. Not the absolute best that was ever created but for the money its functional and does the job for all my (22) guns. However, I would recommend Tipton add a mid point clamp at the point it has a mid point support. A clamp similar to the butt stock camp (as option to used when needed) would really help with more lateral stability when mounting scopes.

This vise is of excellent quality. My gun shop has had one of these for years, and every time I've stopped in over the years he had a different rifle or shotgun clamped up in it. He stated that he couldn't mount and bore sight rifle scopes without one of these gun vises, so I finally purchased one of my own. It was easy to assemble. All parts are separated in plastic bags and are easy to identify. The vise is well engineered and should last a lifetime. My only regret is that I didn't buy one years ago.

Good product with versatility to use with different types of firearms including handguns. unit is mostly plastic so there is some flex. But once clamped in place stays tight. Used for radical alignment of scope worked great.
