I couldn't bring myself to spend the coin on a plastic gun vice so I whipped up this lil ripper out of some scrap bits of Rimu and car seat leather.

Will the rifle sit muzzle down? I prefer it that way for cleaning my rifles, as any solvent overflow or crud flows out the muzzle and not into the action.
Cutting another narrower slot in the bottom of your fore-end notch would allow you to sit the rifle further back with barrel (not fore-end) in the notch sloping downhill, giving you both options.
I like your style sir. I do agree with Cigar on the barrel down suggestion for the same reason.
Easy enough to make a shim for the grip rest that elevates the butt a few degrees. It's a nice piece of work, I made one similar a few years from custom wood off cuts. Never let that stuff get wet it like wetbix.
Yeah good point fellas, it's the first draft and each piece is just screwed in place. I might make the grip rest so that it sits in place on dowels so it could be swapped with a higher rest for cleaning or cut the notch if I've got some more leather around.
Just put a pair of adjustable feet under the rear, or even just a block that it can clip onto ...Perhaps out of a small piece of left over rimu...Quote:

I have another one cut out and are in progress of assembly it for myself, also screwed together so if the cam clamp does not hold up in service I can easily modify to use a screw clamp like Louie's or cheat and use a 150mm quick trigger clamp

Got a link to those plans?
Tell us more about that BSAQuote:

I felt inspired by this thread after struggling to mount a few scopes lately. Had a few off cuts and some spare time so knocked this together. The clamp system is fairly basic,just a slot with a bolt through it. Slide the block hard against the stock and tighten the nut. Not the prettiest but it works.[emoji846]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b85a1287e2.jpg
