Hoppe's Gun Vise, Rifle and Shotgun, Front & Rear Locking Supports

This vise is really light, made for the most part out of a strong but lightweight plastic. So when it arrived and I got it out of the box, I wondered how well it would hold my shotgun. The one I was working on is a Remington 870 Express that I've had for years. It has a long barrel, an aftermarket extended extra-capacity magazine tube that's almost as long as the gun barrel, a taclight and mount, and a side saddle installed that holds 6 extra 12-gauge shells. Total length from butt to muzzle is about 49" so it's a fairly heavy gun considering the size from the factory and the aftermarket mods it's carrying. Recently I decided that I wanted to run a sling on it too, so needed to install a sling stud on the buttstock. I ordered this vise to help with doing that job properly. Well, despite my apprehension that the light plastic vise might not hold the gun securely, those fears were unfounded. Last night I set things up on the microwave table I use for meal prep in the kitchen and it worked like a champ. Completely satisfied and favorably impressed; I got the hole for the sling stud drilled, and the stud installed, without any issues whatsoever. No tipping of the gun while working on it; plenty of stability. The easy-to-secure gripping points did no damage to the shotgun's wood furniture. We'll see how the vise does on future jobs with this gun and others.

Works great, light weight easy to use and set up. Holds rifle without movement great for maintenance and bore sighting a rifle.

It is okay but it does not clamp well to my Rifles Stock for scoping rifles due to the Cheek Pad on the stocks. Tried 2 different rifles and had to play around to get clamped down to mount 2 scopes on 2 different riflles. (but if any force is applied the rifle tends to shift due to the rear clamp does not as gripping the rear section well.

Light, sturdy, and easy to use. Great product for the price. I use it on a regular basis. Fully adjustable and will fit darn near anything you put in it. Convenient storage dishes in base to hold onto parts/fasteners when performing maintenance. Would recommend.

Does what it is supposed to do, but is flimsy. The vise barely holding the rifle, and tightening the knob results in thread skipping.

Well made.

This is not for shooting with, Use for scope mounting and cleaning rifle- works nicely. It does have 4 small adjustable feet (many said it didn't) if needed when doing scope level. No need to snug the clamps crazy tight, a little tension will hold fine and allows for little left /right level adjustments. Nice helping hands when working on firearm. scouting out the price not very expensive.

this works very well, but you will need two extra "C" clamps to hold it down when sighting in a scope rifle. I use a picnic table outside when doing this job. I shoot three separate targets once, then adjust scope to where the bullet hit. This saves a lot of ammunition. Once the setup is done, all I do is pull the trigger. Target is 100 yards.

Plastic construction. Hard to fully secure rifles with chin pieces.
