The invention is a height adjustable gun rest that can be attached, and carried folded, on a rifle's fore-end. Known gun rests are in particular unsuitable on snow, and therefore unsuitable for grouse top-hunting for instance. Loud or awkward folding, or unsuitable exterior form (for carrying the rifle on the back), are other problems relevant to this kind of hunting. The invention includes a supporting leg 1, a bearing plate 2, and a pivot catch 3. The fore-end 101 can be imagined as the upper horizontal bar of a "Z" where the supporting leg, pivoted to the fore-end, is the inclined line and the bearing plate, pivoted to the supporting leg, is the lower horizontal bar. This arrangement facilitates compact and simple folding. The bearing plate provides large contact surface. The pivot catch fix the leg's inclination angle; that is, one of the angles of the "Z" is constant while the other is variable. The pivot catch may in particular be a crossbar, between the leg and the fore-end, whose attachment along the fore-end is adjustable. |
